What went down when we finally met at the TikTok Awards?

In this episode, Kristen and Mia spill the behind-the-scenes of meeting IRL after years of building a wildly successful creator community without ever sharing the same timezone. From the joyful AF airport reunion to the red carpet chaos, we break down what went down at the TikTok Awards 2025 and why we left with way more than glitter.

We unpack:

• The power of creator rooms that feel like real life, not just highlight reels
• What the TikTok Awards got right and what was missing for brands & business builders
• How platform dependence is risky AF (and what we’re doing instead)
• Why we're moving our entire creator community into Circle for deeper connection
• Our content + community roadmap for 2026 (spoiler: co-creation, meetups, momentum)

This episode is a love letter to the creators who want to do it differently, to build something lasting, human, and wildly magnetic. If you’ve been craving deeper connection, better systems, and a business that aligns with your creative brain… this is your nudge.
