We’re here to tell you that the “What We Said” podcast is here to stay and here to dominate. Their signature color theme of pink and blue, their tight-knit friendship, their signature phrases, their aesthetic clothing, their relatable and interactive podcast topics; all of which makes the best friends, Jaci Marie Smith and Chelsey Jade Curtis, necessary for your life and ears to listen to every Tuesday morning.
Smith spoke out on behalf of her situation with her original agency for her social media account the other month; “I’m just feeling really at peace right now. This is the first time I’m feeling this in years, so I’m just really emotional and happy. I feel like I am feeling so creative and fun again, I literally have not felt like this in years. I think I’m realizing that there are going to be good days and bad days, but overall I am feeling at peace and confident with who I am. I have felt so insecure for years. I have been in such a rut…and to be honest I have been feeling not fulfilled by that and not seeing the results I wanted to see. I felt like so many things in my life, personally and professionally, were not going well. In the beginning of my career, I was used to seeing results. I post this, I gain a bunch of followers, I get more money- it was going in this positive trajectory, so when things started to get hard I felt so not myself, creating has been the last thing I wanted to do. But, now I am feeling confident again and need to step back into my power. I do have things I am talented at. I am doing the things I want to do. I am working out for myself, I am planning fun photoshoots with friends, and loving the photos.”
The entrepreneur left a six minute segment on one of her vlogs that demonstrates her vulnerability and common humanity with her followers. She does not shy from being anything but honest which is a significant reason for her impact on the “What We Said” community, as well as her followers on her social media platforms.
Being a creator is not always glamorous- the women can attest to that statement. They tend to chat about their time management on the phone; e.g. how to blend the amount of work they have to complete for their brand to be all it is while setting boundaries for their non-structured day. Creators are walking ads, they need to be on it for their businesses they are representing through their photos or video productions. With that being said, treating yourself with care should remain a priority and that is when Smith felt troubled with her job. Until now, she is executing her best work and is noticed by million dollar companies like Gucci, SKIMS, and YSL Beauty, etc..
Chelsey Jade Curtis, the next best half of the business partners and best friends, is thriving with a baby on the way and her platform growing with her contribution to the wellness branch of life. She promotes clean and reputable products that enlarge the purpose of a purposeful lifestyle. She served (more intensely before social media became a greater primary source of income and joy) and continues to serve as a professional holistic health coach. She features “plant-based” in her Instagram biography in order to tie her thoughtfulness on nutrition with overall wellness. Veganism powers a portion of her coaching brand; she appreciates the love plant-based food transfuses through the body.
As an entrepreneur herself, she started sharing vegan recipes, giveaways, and fall favorites/brands she has worked with or works with. Her most recent recipe she discovered included a step-by-step on how to make a vegan-friendly broccoli cheddar soup for this cold weather. Treat your gut with warmth and ease:
