I’m wrapping up edits from the @firstwavesocial Creator House. This is my favorite part, putting the footage together and seeing the magic happen. #UGCcreator
I know every creator at the @firstwavesocial House felt the magic in Austin.
We all soaked up everyone’s energy, support & after all the love everyone is coming home to bigger deals, inbounds, & just greater confidence to reach their goals.
It was magic ✨
I feel like my life truly changed for the better this week & it’s such a crazy feeling. I learned so much, connected with the most amazing people & feel so empowered.
I’m truly so grateful I can’t say it enough. @firstwavesocial is going to only go up from here 🫶🏼🌊

We’ll go first…
This drone shot captured by @SunnyDSocial 🔥🔥
I spent 3 nights in a house in Austin with just me and 15 women…
I saw just about every one of them cry…
And I don’t think I’ve ever felt better about our mission at @brandsXcreators
Here’s how it went down:
Several months ago, some of the top UGC creators in the industry reached out to me and said they wanted to plan a creator house.
The idea was to get a bunch of the top UGC creators in one house, and brands would purchase content packages that would be filmed there.
We realized that we needed some initial investment to fund the Airbnb before brands would sign on…
So Brands Meet Creators committed to sponsoring the event.
Over the past few months, these women did an amazing job of landing brand partnerships, organizing everything, and pulling off the event.
Each day was filled with content creation, conversations, and genuine connection.
The timing worked out perfectly, and we were able to demo our new platform at the event as well.
During our final night, things got emotional...
We had a big fire out back by the pool…
Everyone sat in a circle, roasting marshmallows, telling stories, and really opening up.
There was one main thing that each of these women had in common…
Content creation had changed their lives.
As I watched tears roll down faces of the women that sat around the fire,
I heard stories from mothers who were able to stay at home and spend more time with their kids…
I heard stories from women who supported themselves through college.
I heard stories from women who were able to leave soul-draining jobs and gain more freedom in their lives…
All from UGC.
I always knew that what we were doing in this space made an impact…
But having this experience made things so much more tangible for me.
I know we’re still in the early innings and have so much more impact to make.

@mike_rama7 took a chance on us, and invested into our vision before we even signed 1 brand deal. 😅
He had full faith in our ability to pull this off 🙏🏽
@brandsXcreators mission was so aligned with ours. We truly couldn't have asked for a better sponsor 🫶🏽

Day 1 at the @firstwavesocial FIRST EVER creator-led DTC creative house 🌊
Breakfast by @themarielyshow every morning fueled my body and soul😌 I’m always honing in on my editing skills🔥 Always learning, always growing💪
Being a part of @firstwavesocial is truly something I am so grateful for. You mean, I get to be side by side as all of these industry greats???
The Tarte trip was SHAKINGGGG there’s no way it saw as much connection and talent and productivity as a unit as we did.
the First Wave Social Creator House was truly a life-changing experience. The friendships I’ve made and the things I’ve learned are invaluable - I cannot WAIT until the next one 🫶🏻 @firstwavesocial#ugc#ugccommunity#ugccreator#ugccreators
