Speaker 1: all started? Then? I mean, eleven million followers And it
Speaker 1: wasn't on purpose, was it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It was it just organic. It just happened accidentally.
Speaker 4: Back in twenty nine, I just posted a video and
Speaker 4: it went viral and I got hooked. I love making videos,
Speaker 4: so I turned my hobby into my career.
Speaker 1: When it was the first video, I was.
Speaker 4: Me and my best friend Jinny, and I kind of
Speaker 4: lied in the video, probably shouldn't have. I was like,
Speaker 4: she's from South Korea and I'm from Australia and we
Speaker 4: traveled the world together.
Speaker 2: She lived an hour away from me. But it went
Speaker 2: viral so good, and it was like my career was
Speaker 2: built off a line.
Speaker 4: And I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3: I had I did a video and same thing probably
Speaker 3: around twenty nineteen as well, went viral, and it was
Speaker 3: literally like me taking the piss.
Speaker 2: It was this thing that I had thought up of,
Speaker 2: like why don't you dress really nice at home? Because
Speaker 2: obviously I'm a home.
Speaker 3: With three kids under the age of four, so I
Speaker 3: look like garbage every day. And it was just me
Speaker 3: taking the piss out of like cleaning the toilets and bringing.
Speaker 2: In the washing but dressed up. And it got like
Speaker 2: nineteen million.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's just so good. Random videos just go
Speaker 3: viral and then that's it. You put on the map.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, you can't really pick it right.
Speaker 4: No, I just brought my personality into every video. And
Speaker 4: people were like, oh, she's kind of cool. Sometimes it's
Speaker 4: so real and relatable. Yeah, I've how to look at
Speaker 4: your videos.
Speaker 3: And then didn't you kind of get even more traction

Speaker 4: renovating homes with my dad twenty one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so why outback Broken Hill?
Speaker 4: Well, my mum is actually from the outback, and so
Speaker 4: I did a little trip out there and I was like,
Speaker 4: I love this place. And now, funny enough is like
Speaker 4: I go out there to retreat and to like rEFInd
Speaker 4: myself because like city life gets a bit too hectic sometimes,
Speaker 4: so I'm like, Broken Hill is my safe place.
Speaker 3: Did it ever start becoming a little bit too much?
Speaker 3: Because I know when you do grow so quickly and rapidly,
Speaker 3: and all of these offers and these opportunities come for
Speaker 3: you and you want to kind of jump on them
Speaker 3: because you're like maybe they won't come around a second time.
Speaker 2: But then, did you ever feel like pressure to constantly
Speaker 2: show up online? And did that have a toll on
Speaker 2: you at any time?
Speaker 4: It wasn't necessarily like pressure to make videos. I love
Speaker 4: that and I'll do that for the rest of my life.
Speaker 4: It was more so I got a lot of anxiety
Speaker 4: through it because I didn't know how to handle it.
Speaker 4: I feel at home by myself with my phone, and
Speaker 4: then I've kind of just been like shoved into the
Speaker 4: spotlight and I didn't know how to handle it properly,
Speaker 4: and so I got a lot of anxiety from that.
Speaker 1: Was that the comments and dms and stuff. Is that
Speaker 1: nasty stuff you were getting?
Speaker 2: There was?
Speaker 4: But I also have the best online community in the world,
Speaker 4: so I just stick to my own followers on like,
Speaker 4: I'm not reading anyone else unless they know me.
Speaker 2: It's just like going everywhere and being recognized.
Speaker 4: I felt like I didn't know how to handle that
Speaker 4: at first, yep, But now I've kind of I've kind
Speaker 4: of got my grasp on it, and I love it.
