We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kyrsten Wright. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kyrsten below.

Kyrsten, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.

So I had just moved back to nc early March, I’m sitting on the couch scrolling on ig and come across a post from the round table game where they are choosing 20 people to come to the premiere for their new season.
I saw it within 2 minutes of being posted, saw it was being held in Atlanta, so I scrolled past it. Something told me to scroll back up, try and see what happens. So I did , followed the instructions and waited. I made a funny meme story and tagged them and they saw it. So I’m like hmm okay okay. Then boom! I got a dm from them saying I had been selected!!! I was over the mooonnnn. Now the challenge came from figuring out if this could even be pulled of. Atlanta is roughly 6 hours from me, the premiere was on a Thursday. We had just moved. I called my husband, worked out all the kinks. Once confirmed, I messaged them back and told them I’d be there. To me this wasn’t just a premiere, it was a chance to connect with the cast, a chance to make sure they remember me. I had recently signed up for chase and melo studios, so being able to meet them in person was hugeeee to me. The day of the event, I got up super early and hit the road.. yes I drove. Honestly driving was the easy part, minus all the traffic. I made it to my hotel, got checked in and immediately started getting ready. I played music and hyped myself up. Took pics and videos in the hotel to remember the moment.. told myself that I deserved to be in that room and to act like it. Once ready, I headed to the event. This is where it got super real .. after dealing with confusing parking, I made my way inside and all the emotions hit me. I checked in and immediately after I felt my anxiety peak.. I started to cry and had to get myself together in the corner before walking in. I was so overwhelmed with all types of emotions… excitement , fear , anxiousness… but got myself together and headed inside. It was the one of the dopest things I had ever gotten to experience. I found a seat and was just amazed at the fact that I was really there. They went over all the details and how things would run. I ordered some nachos, Dr Pepper, Twix and a lil “ drinky drink” to calm my nerves. We watched 2 episodes and it was hilarious. At the end, we did pictures, I did an interview about the event and actually got to really talk to some of the cast and connect with them. I left the event on cloud 9. I knew it was only the beginning. And to think none of that would have happened if I scrolled past that post, if I had listened to the voice in my head saying I didn’t deserve it. I would do that trip a million times over.

Kyrsten, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is Kyrsten Wright. I have been into social media on and off since high school .. very long time ago. I’ve always had a love for creating and connecting with people. It wasn’t till winter 2022 where it finally started paying off. I am a brand ambassador, I also consider myself a mood board curator. I love all things aesthetic and really have an eye for what works. I have tried just about everything once, YouTube , podcasts , blogging .. I’ve wrote a book. I am most proud of the fact that all my social media platforms/ pages have been built organically. No team , no fluff , just a lot of trial and error. I’m also proud of the fact that I’ve stayed true to who I am and that it’s always received so well. My content is for the girls of course. I am a hugeeee girls girl and love providing a space where they can heal and also a space where they can find a cute bag or piece of jewelry. I have been able to build an amazing community, people who support me and anything I do without even meeting me in person. I am also into modeling, again I love creating. I love seeing how something I create resonates with people or even inspires them. I think what sets me apart from others is staying relatable. No matter how much money I’ve made or what opportunities I’ve gotten, I’ve remained me. I am super passionate about social media, it became something I’m naturally good at, wether it’s creating a viral post or build faceless pages or groups.. it’s .. my jam.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

A lesson I had to unlearn is a pretty recent one and that is I do have free will. Growing up, obviously there are rules. Things you can do and things you can’t do. I had my first kid at 20 so my free will became mom will. I had the mindset of “ I can’t do things till my kid is 18 “ 1 kid turned into 4 , also being married, so feeling like those two roles trumped everything. But this year a switch went off in my head and I was like wait a minute .. I can go do this , I can go do that. As long as my family is okay .. why not? And it’s honestly been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I feel lighter and happier .. I don’t stress as much. I am human at the end of the day and my time on earth isn’t guaranteed so I now use my free will.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

I really do believe in your audience finding you. When I first started making money on Facebook I was trying everything, making posts that weren’t exactly natural to me, I just thought they’d bring in the money. Then I started posting (what I post now) what I call mood boards. Going on Pinterest and finding 4-5 pictures that mesh well and it took off. My audience reacted to that, so that’s what I kept doing. I have faceless accounts that are themed. One is girly, one is relationships , one is moms, and then one is for like .. venting or feelings. These are things I could talk about for dayssssss and so the audience those pages are meant for will find them I heavily believe in organic growth. Find your lane and stay in it.
