Oh, why? Because I have eyeballs. Because I have eyeballs. Look at that way. You know what I mean? It's crazy. It's crazy talk. Have you had that? You want me to walk like this, bitch? Come on. Yeah. I hate it. It's so dumb. It's like you haven't checked in with me. You're not my parole officer. I'm not a criminal. I haven't done shit, bitch. Sorry. Kindergarten. That's what it was.

Today on our first episode, we are just kind of introducing ourselves and jumping into our friendship, kind of like how we met, and a little bit about social media. We hope y'all enjoy. I'm Kelsey.

You can make money on social media. She's like, you can make money. Just start posting. Like, just post this right now. I'm like, okay. So we're actually going to do a full episode on monetizing social media. Wow. Yes, how it's so life-changing. All the ways that we personally monetize social media.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Facebook pays more than TikTok. Literally, Facebook pays more than TikTok. And Snapchat pays more than both. I suck at Snapchat, though.

Meet the Moms
This week I've been slacking just because it's been so crazy, but I try my best. I try to post quite a bit on there. I think I'm up to like 15,000 followers or 16,000. I haven't even looked.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
You need $50,000 to get monetized. So I'm not making money on there now. Yeah, but you won't. I did have a spotlight go viral, though, and I feel like I got a lot of followers off of that. I think I saw that. It was Josh. When it was snowing, he was- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Yeah. I had originally texted Val, and she really didn't just give me an answer. She just kind of ignored me about it.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Yeah, that video went viral. It did really good. But yeah, no, we're going to have a whole episode just kind of like on ways we personally monetize social media and the things that we know. There is no step-by-step guide on how to get followers or how to go viral.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
It's getting out of your comfort zone. Yes, you have to get out of your comfort zone. You have to be willing to deal with hate. You have to be willing. But you also have to be real. Oh, yeah.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
You have to be yourself. If you get on the internet and you are trying to be someone you're not, it's not going to stick. Because it's going to be so hard to keep up with that. You just have to be who you are.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
But yeah, no, we will definitely have an episode on that. And hopefully it'll help some of y'all out. But no, there is definitely money to be made on social media. And that's why I push everybody. I am a girl's girl. And if I can tell you something about social media, I will. And I don't know if you want to share it. If not, tell them, cut it. But on that fact,
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Just carried on our conversation about everything else and never gave me an answer. She's a busy mom. Yeah, yeah. I'll let it slide. And then she, no, a couple weeks later.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
One of the... Early on in mine and Valerie's friendship, we were at the Jelly Roll concert. Mm-hmm. Sitting there eating dinner. Mahoney's. Josh's. Chicken wings. But we... You know, like, you don't really discuss money with people, right? That's just something you don't really talk about. Well, I feel like whenever you're doing social media, it can be a little different.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Especially, like, you know, if you become close with someone. Because, like... Especially if two friends don't know nothing about social media, you're going to try to share what we know, right?
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Yes, me and Valerie were sitting at dinner and I was like, Valerie, what are you charging for one?
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
I was like, what are you charging for one partnership? And she was like, such and such. And I was like, absolutely not. You have more followers than me and this is what I am charging? You should be charging this.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Same thing with a few others. So, actually, I'm sure if any content creators are watching this, y'all know, but for people that are not content creators, a lot of... Not a lot of times, but sometimes, I feel like at least once a month it happens, a company will, like, send one email to, like, a hundred people. Yep.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
maybe even a month later i was like it was gonna be you and josh wait i was trying to talk him into it and he said no yeah so then i text them in the group chat and i was like look i am doing this do y'all want to be a part of it and they were like yeah absolutely why not here we are yeah and it was like two days later jess was like here sign this on this oh it was like that we're like i haven't even had pick a day to film pick a day to film read nothing
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
And people that, like... I sort of know on social media like that. I have interacted with some. I've had conversations with. They accidentally responded to the email and was like, yeah, I'll do it for such and such. I instantly messaged them and I was like, you are lowballing yourself. You need to triple your price. If you can help somebody, help them.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
And they had millions of followers and I'm like, I've never seen this person before.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Yeah, for sure. It's definitely... Social media is crazy. I never knew you could make a dollar from social media. When I made my first TikTok, literally, I was doing it for fun. Yeah. I had no idea what social media could do. If I knew what I knew now, if I knew then what I knew now... I would have started that shit a long time ago.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
If you are starting social media, start all of your platforms at one time. Please, just do yourself a favor.

Meet the Moms
They pay more than Snapchat. But, yeah, I hated TikTok. I did. Josh had it. So we lived in North Dakota in 2020 whenever the pandemic hit. And Josh downloaded it and he scrolled. He scrolled for like a year. I didn't get TikTok until the very end of 21. Yeah. And I didn't really become consistent until the very beginning of either the end, the very end, like Christmas time of 21 or the beginning.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
of 22. I know the first time I went live was March of 22. But were you nervous?
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Oh, that was me for the longest time. I felt like I was talking to myself. Yeah. But consistency. Yes, consistency.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Literally talking to yourself. The only reason I know that is because we were talking about it the other day on live and Josh went back in his camera roll. He had took a picture of me or something the first time I went live. And I think he sent it to his sister or something. It was like, go get on Jazz's live or something. I don't know. He brought it up. So that's how I knew it was March of 22.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
I think it's going to be fun. Yeah, for sure. We're winging it. We are. We are. So I'm a mom of two girls. I have a husband. His name is Josh. We have traveled across the country for eight years. We just settled down and bought a house this past October. And just a coincidence. Next to me. Yep, next to Ariel. But just a little coincidence. We all live practically in the same little area.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
If you're just sitting there looking at the screen, it's like, oh, yeah. Like, I'm boring myself. I know I'm boring y'all.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Oh, for sure. Josh was like, you know, if you didn't go live, you could get things done so much faster.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
And just FYI, you don't make much money from live. So, no, we don't get anything out of going live.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
A few times I have made a couple hundred bucks, but like they would send me like a lion. Don't brag. I'm not. Oh, yeah. She's bragging. I'm just being honest. But that's only happened like three or four times.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Run. Act like a lion's behind you. Run. But no, yeah. I mean, TikTok's great.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Yeah, it is. It's crazy how far we've came and how close our relationship has grown. Like, just from social media. Because, like, you know, Ariel just said, I wouldn't know Valerie if it wasn't for TikTok. Yeah. And we're practically from the same town.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
We forget to make content. We forget to make content because we're too busy. We're in the moment, enjoying it. I tell y'all what.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms

Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Not like if we go on a girl's trip or something, I'll try to make like a video over the whole entire weekend.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
But as far as just getting together and doing sounds and making. We don't get together to make content.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
We're not far from each other. The furthest... It's Kelsey. 45 minutes to an hour.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Like... Yeah, her and Josh's. Yeah, for sure. They could... I tell Josh all the time, I'm like, do you realize, like, you could legit retire?
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
He doesn't care what you think about him. It's coming off of his tongue.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
They're going to find them some land eventually and they're going to move on over. And me and Valerie, we actually met on social media. So Kelsey and Ariel, I know in real life. Yep. That's so weird to say.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
It's just an illusion, okay? We're not here. Y'all know what I mean. Like, I knew them not from social media. Me and Val met, and just so happened, we're, like, from the same general area. So that kind of worked out. And now look at us.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Yep, in Hammond. So I think we were mutuals on social, like on TikTok. But I don't think we ever really talked a lot.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Three, two... Oh my gosh, all four. Are we live? Yeah, are we live? Tap, tap, tap. That was going to be our name. Moms on Tap. Moms on Tap. That was the name we were going to go with. Yeah. That was going to be our second name.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Yeah. Yeah. But, so I was repping for her. Valerie was repping for her. We kind of met up for dinner. And then it started.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Just us four. And then my husband and Kelsey's husband, both of their names are Josh, they started working together like seven or eight years ago, a long time ago. Like Ella was an infant. So that's how I met Kelsey. And same thing with Ariel, my husband and her husband.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
She gets us in trouble with the shot. Look, I will easily run up a $500 or $700 tab on shots.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Yeah. I mean, if it's a nasty shot, I might sip it. But if it's like a lemon drop or a white tea. Yeah, something good. If it's good, I'll down it. Unless it's like one of those huge ones. I was just about to say, they make shots these days that are the size of a glass. If it's one of those huge ones, no. I'm taking it in two parts. Right.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
And you feel, you know, like, obviously you can kind of, like, feel the energy. Like, you know who is real and who is fake. For sure.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Yeah, and it's so crazy because, like, this whole entire time, we've not had one disagreement. Never.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Yeah, Moms on Court was taken, so we couldn't do that. Moms on Tap was going to be our second. For the moms just kind of stuck out because we're for moms. And y'all, just because that's the name for the moms. It's not just for moms.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Kelsey and Josh, they literally have one of each. Charlie is Josh's twin and Whitley.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Yeah, there's no telling what's going to come up. I mean, it's not that bad, but we are a little unfiltered. So watch carefully.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
Me and you? Y'all. Yeah. The first time I met them. And it didn't feel awkward or anything. It just felt like we've been knowing them forever. The first time I met them...
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms

Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
So I am Jasmine. If y'all follow me on social media, you probably know me as Traveling Mama of Two. It was kind of my idea to start the podcast. I wanted to do it. I begged my husband to do it with me and he was like, Jasmine, no. Like, what are we going to talk about? Yeah. He was like, I'll do an episode with you, but I'm not doing a whole podcast. So then we're all here against our will.
Four the Moms
Meet the Moms
They just said that they were super. Yeah, she was negative for strep. They said she was super enlarged. More than likely needs her tonsils out. We got to go back Monday. Oh, okay. So there's that. But she's on antibiotics, right? She finished antibiotics. She's on steroids now. Oh, okay. She'll be fine. Yeah. Okay.
Four the Moms

Four the Moms
Q&A with the Moms
Yes. I would go lock myself in my bathroom, like in my house, just for like five minutes of like just a long time.
Four the Moms

Four the Moms
Q&A with the Moms

So that really, like, y'all, I'm about to cry. Like, y'all really helped, and I'm really grateful for that.
Four the Moms

Four the Moms
Q&A with the Moms
But overnight, yeah. But that's also probably why she's so attached to you. Yeah. Because it was her and mom, you know, for so long.
Four the Moms
Q&A with the Moms
Okay. Jamie wants to know, as a mom that seems to have lost herself in motherhood, I'd love to hear how y'all find things you like again after becoming a mom. So I guess kind of how we found ourselves again after like that whole postpartum craziness. Yeah.
