For a while, I’ve been trying to keep up with the kind of videos that seem to thrive on TikTok Shop. Lately, I’ve started noticing that the way I naturally make content may have a place too. In this episode, I’m sharing the shift that’s helping me trust what I do well and rethink what “keeping up” needs to look like. Sometimes the opportunities that move you forward come from brands you’ve never heard of. I’ve been thinking about what it means to find a creative lane that fits, especially when you get the chance to show up early for a growing brand and help it explore what its content could look like.

Dawn Cheryl Kohl, JD, is back for this month’s legal conversation, and we’re talking about something creators need to pay closer attention to when promoting supplements, skincare, and wellness products: what you actually say on camera. A product may be great. A brand may give you talking points. But certain claims, wording, and promises can put the creator saying them in a position they never intended to be in. In this episode, Dawn and I talk about how to be more mindful when creating product content, what to consider before repeating a claim, and why protecting yourself does not mean your content has to stop sounding natural or convincing.

What if the thing keeping you stuck doesn’t actually sound like an excuse? That’s what makes some excuses so hard to recognize. They sound logical. They feel justified. And sometimes, you’ve repeated them for so long that you don’t even question whether they’re actually stopping you anymore. In this episode of UGC Clarity, we’re talking about the excuses that hide in plain sight, the ones you might not even realize you’re making, and what happens when you finally start questioning them. You might recognize a few of your own. And if you do… good. 👀 🎧 Press play. 💜 JOIN THE UGC CLARITY NETWORK Ready for more support as you build your UGC business? Join the UGC Clarity Network Here

I walked away from a $1,000/month UGC retainer. And even after I made the decision, I wasn’t completely sure I’d done the right thing. In this episode of UGC Clarity, I’m talking about what happened, what the experience made me realize about the kind of work I actually want to be doing, and why the longer I’m in this industry, the more my perspective on UGC opportunities continues to change. I’m also sharing a few places creators can look for ongoing and retainer-style opportunities, giving you a little peek into my experience with Trybe so far, and teasing TWO upcoming conversations that you’re definitely going to want on your radar. If you’re trying to build a UGC business that actually fits YOU, this one’s for you. And make sure you’re following UGC Clarity before you leave.

If you’re just getting started with UGC, this is the episode I wish someone had made for me. Social media is full of creators sharing their biggest wins. The $10,000 months. The dream brand deals. The stories about quitting their jobs. Those things can absolutely happen. But what we don’t hear enough about are the months of learning, rejection, mistakes, and figuring things out along the way. In this episode, I’m sharing 9 things I personally would avoid if I were starting my UGC journey all over again. None of these things guarantee success or failure, but avoiding them can save you a lot of unnecessary stress, money, and frustration. Whether you’re still thinking about becoming a UGC creator or you’ve already started pitching brands, I hope this episode helps you build your business with realistic expectations and a little more confidence.

Every creator signs contracts sometime in their career…but how many of us actually understand what we’re agreeing to? In this episode of the UGC Clarity Podcast, I’m joined by licensed Minnesota attorney, legal educator, and fellow UGC creator Dawn Cheryl Kohl, JD, for a conversation every creator needs to hear. We talk about why contract ambiguity causes so many problems between brands and creators, the difference between licensing your content versus giving away ownership, contract clauses that should make you stop and ask questions, and how becoming more legally informed can help you negotiate with confidence. This isn’t about fear. It’s about becoming a stronger business owner. The more you understand, the more confidently you can protect yourself, negotiate fair agreements, and build a sustainable creator business.
