Kylie Nelson is a fashion influencer and content creator.

In this episode, Kylie shares her journey from competitive fitness to content creation, and how her focus shifted from helping people feel strong in the gym to helping them feel confident in their clothes. What started with a few photos for a local boutique turned into a platform where she now has an audience of over 500,000 people and encourages them to show up as themselves.

We talk about the mental pressure of being visible online, navigating criticism and comparison, and how she’s found a rhythm that feels more honest, present, and sustainable. Kylie opens up about the behind-the-scenes moments as a content creator that most people don’t see like figuring out boundaries, finding peace with her body, and learning how to fight off perfectionism.

Key Moments & Takeaways:
– Finding identity in fitness
– Setting out to be a full-time content creator
– Creating healthy space between real life and online life
– The power of consistency
– Using fashion as a tool (not a mask) for self-expression

Thank you for listening!
