Meet Ruchel – a college student, working mom, and UGC creator who’s building her dream portfolio between diaper changes and homework deadlines. If you’ve ever thought “I’m too busy for this,” this episode is going to change your mind.

Ruchel, who has only been in the UGC world for just two months and is already landing paid brand deals — all while juggling mom life, school, and a full schedule.

Why your messy house, noisy kids, or non-aesthetic setup won’t hold you back
