085: Motherhood and Growing Your Account as a Family Influencer with Sena Nelson
Today we got to talk to one of our best friends in the world. If you follow us on Instagram you've probably heard us talk about her, the wonderful and amazing Sena Nelson. Sena runs a lifestyle and motherhood social media brand where she focuses on sharing content of her family, faith, nature, and living a life of simplicity. She built her brand as a lifestyle mom blogger and over the course of the years has now turned it into a full time job as a content creator, influencer, course creator, and preset seller. She's a momma to four kids with one on the way and her husband Eric is in the US navy. Sena and her family have spent the last 8 years in Hawaii, and recently moved to London last year. They can currently be found traveling Europe and documenting life as expats over the next few years over on her instagram account @senaenelson. Lindsey met Sena when she first moved to Hawaii, and they clicked IMMEDIATELY. She instantly became a fast friend and they ended up being neighbors on the island. Over the years of getting to know her, Lindsey watched her successfully navigate building an online brand around family, motherhood, and lifestyle content creation. That's what we sat down to chat with her about! Sena absolutely CRUSHES the very specific niche of "mommy-blogging" on Instagram and she has a world of wisdom to share when it comes to that. In today's episode, we chat all things growing your Instagram account as a family influencer, collaborating and working with companies, balancing motherhood while also running an online business, navigating the challenging waters of having your job be capturing your family while also trying to stay in the moment as a mother, and so much more. We dive into all of that and basically have an hour long girl chat so grab some wine, popcorn, or drink or snack of choice, make sure your kiddos are napping so you can fully focus on the wisdom Sena shares.
