Juggling Life, Motherhood and running a Social Media Strategy Business is exhausting to say the least, especially because... "I'm a mom. Of course I'm the cook, maid, tutor, chauffeur, and the Hero because I have Mc Donald's Money aha. We are going to talk about some of the ways that I stay on top of business and deadlines while keeping a busy household running, but first... Let me introduce myself.
My name is Dasha, The meaning of my name is "Gift of God." I love that the most. I'll be 32 years old this August 11th, I'm a Leo. Born in Inglewood California and have spent all my days in SoCal, outside of traveling. If we aren't in the mountains playing in the snow, we hit the beach and soak up some sun! I eat my grits with butter and sugar and I don't really know what it's like to have different weather / seasons, I am a city girl through and through with so much love being from the Sunshine State!
Having 4 little people who depend on you for everyday life is a job in itself, Don't get me started on that Man, ha! My big kid, Varian. He's turning 15 years old and a freshman in Highschool, he wrestles for the school and does MMA in his free time. My two ferocious 4 year old toddlers, Faith & Jeremy give me a run for my money every single day, they will be 5 this year. I'm blinking twice for help aha!!! Finally, last and better be the least of my children... My Beautiful baby girl Eliana, Turning 1 this year and headed for adoption this April 2024 to become an official Culberson, Woot Woot!
Wife, Mother, Business Owner, and Intern
So... Wife, 4 kiddos while being an entrepreneur and taking up an internship. Let's talk about it!
Where do I find the time? Let's just say I make the time. Between driving Lyft part time, keeping up with the school schedules, MMA, play dates, as well as everyday home cleaning, cooking and bath time. When I leave all my other jobs for the day (Household is sleeping), I sit behind my laptop and I catch up with my business. The trick is to give your business just as much energy as you give all your other jobs and activities. Easier said than done of course, because who really wants to do that?
If you're a mom, you learned early in the infant stages that it's best to sleep when the kids sleep. Of course it gets slightly easier as they get bigger but in those times you can't sleep, WORK ON YOUR BUSINESS! You have time while the kids are home playing, WORK ON YOUR BUSINESS! Those late nights that you spend on your phone scrolling, yes! WORK ON YOUR BUSINESS!!!
5 things I want to take away from the WIN Internship to Enhance my Social Media Strategy
The year of 2023 was a year of triumphs and tribulations for both but most importantly it was a year I took a leap of faith and started my own Social Media Management business Conner &Co Although I have found success in my business, I would love the opportunity with the WIN Community to dibble and dabble in everything they are willing to teach me. With my expertise I am hoping to become the "Go-To Person" for most if not all things. With everything I am looking to learn and perfect, I hope to one day be able to teach others how to do these things
1. Content Creation, mostly making sure I keep the text short and sweet for social media allowing it to be better digested by the audience.
2. Analytics and data, I would like to be more fluent in understanding performance metrics.
3. Gain better understanding of how to use SEO
4. How to create and manage paid campaigns
5. Brand Understanding, building a brand voice for each different social media platform.
This was an amazing read. I really enjoyed getting to know more about you Dasha! Also, you are hilarious! I stopped the entire read just to chuckle at the “blink twice for help” statement 🤣
