As we explore the complexities of life in the public eye, Niomi offers a rare glimpse behind the curtain of social media stardom and shares her lessons.

EPISODE INSIGHTS:

✨ The vertigo-inducing rollercoaster from anonymous student to overnight sensation. (Spoiler: It's not all champagne and freebies)

The sinister underbelly of fame: Hate forums, relentless scrutiny, and the addiction to negative comments. It's darker than you think. ✨ The mind-bending psychology behind why we're hardwired to fixate on that ONE nasty comment. (It's not your fault, but you can rewire it)

HIGHLIGHT QUOTES:

How you feel about yourself will be reflected online. It's all about doing the work, doing the inner work, stepping into self-love, taking care of yourself, and taking a moment when you post. Is this authentic? Does this feel right?

Niomi Smart

When I post something from the heart, it's more focused. Doing less with more intention has more impact.
