✨Let’s Talk About My Content Creation Journey✨

I started creating content in 2021 as a way to deal with anxiety and PTSD after leaving the military. When I first started it was a creative outlet and I really didn’t take it seriously. My niche has always been paranormal/supernatural related because it’s a topic I’m passionate about. After some success on TikTok I kept at it grew a small but loyal following.

I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to monetize some of my content, be invited to TikTok and YouTube creator programs (CasaTik and YT Shorts Creators) and do brand collabs. BUT LET ME TELL YOU ITS HASNT BEEN EASY!

Ive always worked a full time job in healthcare admin and/or have gone to school. In 2022 I had my first son and in 2024 I had my daughter. I haven’t been able to as much time as I’d like to creating but my mind is overflowing with content ideas.

I decided that 2025 is the year of content and I’m going to challenge myself to stay consistent. I also want to post behind the scenes stuff to show how much went into making the content I’m posting. There’s been sleepless nights, tears and lots of content that was immediately deleted or never posted. The setup in the picture I posted is no longer my set up anymore. I gave up that space to give my daughter a nursery. I really miss that space though 🥲 Now I film wherever and whenever I can. I hope I can be an inspiration to other parents, full time employees or both!

Let me know if you have any questions about my journey or anything in particular you would like me to post about. 🖤

... Read moreIn the ever-evolving landscape of content creation, authenticity and resilience play pivotal roles. Many creators begin their journey as a form of self-expression, often confronting personal challenges just like Alejandra did with anxiety and PTSD. Choosing a niche that resonates deeply can fuel passion and drive for both personal and professional growth. As creators juggle multiple responsibilities, such as parenting and full-time jobs, time management becomes crucial. This allows them to dedicate quality time to their content while still fulfilling other life obligations. Setting goals is essential; Alejandra's determination to make 2025 her year of content is an inspiring commitment. By posting behind-the-scenes insights, she aims to build a stronger connection with her audience, showcasing the hard work that goes into each piece of content. The community aspect of platforms like TikTok and YouTube can help creators stay motivated through support and collaboration, encouraging them to remain consistent despite obstacles. This journey reflects a growing trend among content creators who use their platforms not just for entertainment but as a source of empowerment and inspiration for others facing similar life challenges. Creators are not just sharing content; they are building a narrative that resonates with a wide audience, fostering a sense of belonging and understanding.
