Remembrin Daily Cleanse Deep Body Wash
Helen shares her hilarious discovery of this “anti–old person smell” body wash after seeing a viral video about “old man smell” and learning that persimmon can help neutralize it. The verdict? She loves it — and it’s officially Julie-approved. Slightly exfoliating, fresh-smelling, and now stocked in every shower she owns (plus one for her mom, who doesn’t yet know the “real” reason she’s getting it!).

📰 Big Announcement

Helen reveals the upcoming brand consolidation and rebrand:

• The podcast becomes The Muthership Creator Strategy Podcast
• The newsletter becomes The Muthership Creator Forecast
• Everything moves under one unified Muthership umbrella on Substack
  The shift reflects Helen’s decision to combine her production, directing, and teaching worlds into one clear, connected creator brand.

🎬 Main Topic

5 Reasons Every Creator Should Learn Transitions — No Matter Your Niche

1. They’re Scroll-Stopping.
Eye-catching, fast edits grab attention in the first two seconds — crucial for any creator on TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.

2. They Level You Up.
Even a simple, well-executed transition instantly makes you look like a more advanced creator — regardless of your niche.

3. They Spark Creativity.
Transitions force you to think differently: how to tell a story visually, connect clips creatively, and make vlogs or product videos more dynamic.

4. They Keep You Sharp.
Learning new editing skills keeps your brain active, your content fresh, and your workflow efficient — no matter your age.

5. They Build Loyalty + Support.
Showing your creative journey (even imperfectly) inspires your audience, builds community, and encourages engagement.

💡 Helen’s Takeaway
“Transitions aren’t just for beauty influencers or fashion creators — they’re for everyone. They make your content stronger, sharper, and more engaging. So love the player, love the game.”

🧡 Episode Overview

Helen’s back (a little hoarse but always showing up!) with her latest Unsponsored By discoveries and a deep-dive on how to run great group Lives on TikTok — from planning to moderating to managing guests with grace.

💄 Unsponsored By: Lip Finds of the Week

• CoverGirl Outlast Lip Stain – natural, long-lasting color that feels like your “teenage lips” again.
• LA Girl Sheer Tint Lip Balm – a light, minty tint for everyday wear.
• Bonus: pair with a clear balm like BeautyStat for a fresh, hydrated look.

🎥 Main Topic: Group Lives Etiquette & Strategy

1. Hosting Your Live

• Plan ahead: have notes, recipes, or discussion points ready.
• If you have a guest: review topics before going live.
• For team Lives: assign who covers which parts — treat it like a mini show rundown.

2. Moderators & Boundaries

• Pick moderators you trust and align on tone and rules.
• Moderators reflect you — don’t let them block impulsively.
• Communicate expectations: when to mute, when to block, how to help manage guests.

3. Setting Expectations for Your Community

• Clearly define the topic of the Live and stick to it.
• Gently steer conversations back on track when they drift.
• Stay consistent with your rules — it builds trust and avoids drama.

4. Viewer & Guest Etiquette

• Don’t repeatedly invite yourself into a Live.
• If you’re invited, don’t take over the conversation.
• Respect the host’s topic; don’t self-promote or ask for freebies.
• Never suggest adding guests mid-Live — plan it privately ahead of time.

5. Managing Drama & Protecting Energy

• Think of Lives like a real-life gathering: be polite and respectful.
• Set clear boundaries from the start — how many guests, who can join, what’s off-limits.
• Remember: communication prevents hurt feelings and awkward moments.

🌟 Helen’s Takeaway

Whether you’re the host or a guest, a Live should feel like a friendly dinner party — not a free-for-all. Set expectations, stay gracious, and remember: good boundaries make good broadcasts.
