Caro Arevalo is a Peruvian visionary artist based in Brooklyn, NY. From her Amazonian heritage she embraced the importance of rituals and ancestral wisdom.

New podcast series is here! ”My TikTok Experiment” is not about tricks and hacks to get famous on TikTok fast. It’s about a mindset shift that will lead to ALIGNED growth on TikTok. I’m not surprised how many people think it’s the end of Instagram, and are shifting to TikTok. I don’t think it’s THAT dramatic, but I do sense a tremendous amount of possibility for freedom of self expression on TikTok. No, you don’t have to be 15. No, you don’t have to dance. No, you don’t have to know how to sing. No, you don’t have to be funny (but that’s always a bonus in my eyes). In this podcast and video series, I’m sharing my journey on TikTok. This is week one: 30 followers to 3000 followers. Next week I’ll share my experience of going 3k-6k. Who’s on TikTok? What’s your handle? Watch The time to get on TikTok is now.

SEO is a massively powerful growth hack that’s often overlooked in the age of Instagram. Last week, I brought up SEO on @ksenia.avdulova IG stories and more people said they want to hear more than ever before. In this solo podcast episode, I share the most effective things I know about SEO. Here’s the problem: SEO seems to be an area of expertise reserved for men and/or humans who know how to code. In reality, SEO doesn’t have to be complicated.  Making simple SEO-related changes to the way you produce and share your content can make a HUGE difference. I taught everything myself and know you can, too (if you want to).  No shame if you want to outsource it. Even if you decide to hire someone to do it for you, it’s extremely valuable to understand how it works and approach it creatively.  In this week’s Woke & Wired episode, I share 5 SEO Tips To Expand Your Reach, Impact, and Revenue. Bonus: mastering your SEO is a way to create new pathways for synchronicity and magic to come into your life. Tune into the episode to hear the incredible synchronicity that happened in my life as a result of optimizing this Cacao Ceremony blog post. These SEO tips and tricks apply to business owners, influencers, bloggers, artists, consultants – anyone who has a website and is ready for your work to be seen by more people in a conscious way. Go to my SEO Tips to get all the action items from the podcast episode in one place. Curious about the 8-week Conscious Social Media Program? I just opened enrollment for January 2020 – for the first time ever, it includes one-on-one coaching (this option won’t be offered again), and the spots are very limited. Save yours here.

If I never produced a single episode after this one, my mission would still be complete.

Leon Hill aka Leon The Alchemist went from growing up on a farm with solar power and no internet to starting a social media marketing company at the age of 23 and making $1 million in the first 9 months. After creating viral digital marketing campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, he’s shifting his attention to biohacking. On his new daily podcast Bio Alchemy, Leon has conversations with some of today’s top thinkers in the field. I first got to know Leon Hill as the “handsome boyfriendo” of Sorelle Amore on YouTube, but after seeing the words “biohacker, herbalist, entrepreneur” on his Instagram profile, I knew I had to have him as a guest. Leon is the epitome of living a Woke & Wired life in which we’re connected to ourselves, our spiritual growth and the Earth underneath our feet, and at the same time use social media to create success and freedom. This episode is a special one and contains powerful inspiration and practical wisdom on how to build a brand in today's social media landscape.

Are the days of joy and excitement on Instagram gone? Is it all a mindless scrolling game now won by bots? I don’t think so. This episode is for you, the confused business owner, the disheartened health coach, the stuck influencer. And really for anyone who understands the value of having a powerful online presence. As someone whose full-time job depends on creating content (@breakfastcriminals @wokeandwired @crystalcriminals), I’ve experienced a full range of emotions towards social media – from elated joy (that one time I was selected to be on a cereal box cover nationwide because of my Instagram) to deep confusion and burnout (when I get 50 emails from brands in one week, and all of them want me to create content for free). At the end of the day, here’s what keeps me going: remembering that Instagram is just a tool to accomplish what I’m committed to in my life and business, and not be all end all. It’s a tool that helped me create multiple businesses, get paid to travel around the world, and interview today’s top thinkers on Woke & Wired podcast. Here, I will share with you what helps me replace burnout and apathy for CLARITY and ACTION. Connect with Woke & Wired: If you enjoyed the podcast, please share it.
