How an Instagram post landed college-grad waitress, Gabrielle Whitecotton, her first full/time job with Fun on Weekdays | Ep. 14 May 09, 2023

Show notes

Fun On Weekdays hit the jackpot with Gabrielle Whitecotton, our first employee!! Gabbie’s journey to FOW is an inspiring one, and I'm excited to share it with all of you!
After graduating, Gabbie spent a year waitressing, hoping to land her first full-time job. Despite the challenges, Gabbie persevered and continued to explore creative ways to get noticed. She built a mock IG channel for FOW highlighting her work and her vision for the brand. When I saw her portfolio & resume, I knew immediately I had to add her to the team.
Since joining the FOW team, Gabbie's elevated our social media presence, contributed to creative projects, and helped us build a foundation for success. We know you’ll love Gabbie as much as we do. :)

Your worth should not be measured by your weight - More than a Model with Jordan Wessel | Ep. 11 Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

In today’s episode, model & former Miss Arizona, Jordan Wessel, breaks down the truth about the modeling industry. From inclusivity, to unprofessionalism, inconsistency, and pay, we learn that the modeling industry isn’t so glamorous afterall. Jordan shares how modeling has affected her self-esteem, body image, and lack of privacy. She gets vulnerable about not fitting the “standard” size model - “too big for standard model, but too small for curve”, and the unhealthy tasks models are asked to perform just to book the job. Jordan reminds us that your worth should never be measured by your weight and shares her advocacy for confidence, body positivity, and empowerment through her podcast, I am More Than.

Your idea of fun has changed and that doesn't make you boring | Ep. 5 Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

We’ve all heard of the quarter life crisis… some of us are currently trying to navigate it. I personally think this idea of feeling lost in our 20’s, questioning our passions & goals, navigating friendship dynamics changing, and feeling lost is because our idea of fun is starting to evolve for the first time in years. Suddenly we find ourselves realizing that we no longer have fun doing the things we once did at 18, 21, 25, and so on. Our idea of fun is meant to evolve as we grow, enter new relationships, meet new people, and shift our priorities. As we get older, this idea will evolve at different speeds than your friends which may make you feel boring, lame, and like you are not fun. Rest assured, this isn’t true. It’s time to discover what you enjoy at this new phase of your life without feeling guilty that you are growing out of old interests. You’ll make new friends who enjoy similar things, and you may find yourself reconnecting with friends you once thought you “outgrew”. Oh, and I recap my trip to Aruba with my honest review!
