++ episode 189: making six figures as a micro influencer feat beauty creator Victoria Engasser

Victoria Engasser was one of the very first creators to sign with Friends of Zink. Less than a month after working with her within the non exclusive division, we signed her exclusively. While her audience was still considered micro, we saw something special: an incredible work ethic, a clear content strategy, and consistently high quality content. At the time, we weren't sure how brands would respond to a creator with a smaller following, but we knew she was worth the bet. Fast forward five months, and Victoria is on track to earn six figures from content creation alone. I knew I had to bring her on the podcast to break down exactly how she's doing it. In this episode, Victoria shares the strategies, mindset shifts, and business decisions that helped her turn a micro audience into a highly profitable creator brand. She holds nothing back. We cover everything from brand partnerships and content strategy to  work ethic and growth so you can learn how to build a successful creator business at any follower count.

++ episode 188: on writing, healing, and finding your purpose: a conversation with Karin Hadadan

I came across Karin Hadadan on social media and was immediately drawn to everything she's building. She's a three-time published author, has gone through her own spiritual awakening, and has turned her healing journey into a platform that helps others do the same. In this episode, we get into all of it: how she started writing poetry at 16, the health crisis that led to her spiritual awakening, what manifestation and aligned action actually look like in practice, and the tools she leans on to stay grounded. It's an honest, grounded conversation about healing, faith, and creating from a place of wholeness.

++ episode 187: 1x1 with Almost 30's Krista Williams!

This episode was such a full circle moment for me. Back in 2017, when I first started my spiritual and “girl boss” journey, I discovered Krista’s podcast Almost 30 and instantly became obsessed. This was before spirituality became mainstream and before podcasts were everywhere. I felt like I was following a very similar path to Krista, just a few steps behind, and I consumed every episode and guest she shared. Krista played a huge role in helping me shape the life I wanted. From manifesting my partner to building a career and lifestyle that actually felt aligned, her content deeply influenced my journey. In this conversation, we talk about what spirituality looks like for both of us in 2026 and how our perspectives have evolved over time. We reflect on the shift from being obsessed with psychics, tarot readers, and constant seeking to finding more peace in simplicity, grounding, and trusting ourselves. We also dive into the evolution of Almost 30 over the last decade, what it’s been like for Krista to grow both personally and professionally in public, and how her practices and beliefs have changed over the years. This episode felt incredibly meaningful and special to me, and I’m so grateful I got to have this conversation with someone who unknowingly helped shape so much of my path.

++ episode 185: leveling up as a creator: deep dive on growth, strategy, and valuable insights feat Kiara Kacvinsky

I started following Kiara Kacvinsky last year and have been loving her content ever since. She is one of those creators you never get tired of, sharing a mix of her life and the things she genuinely loves. As her platform began to grow, she signed with management and started approaching her socials more like a business. In this episode, we get into everything: growth tips, finding your niche, red flags when it comes to management, brand trips, and what really goes on behind the scenes. It is an honest and valuable conversation that gives a transparent look into the creator industry.
