Meet Makenzie Farley

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Makenzie Farley. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Makenzie , so great to have you with us today. There are so many topics we want to ask you about, but perhaps the one we can start with is burnout. How have you overcome or avoided burnout?

For someone that works two jobs it’s definitely important to avoid burnout. For me it’s not always easy because im such a hard worker so i tend to work harder then i even notice sometimes. Once i do notice im burning myself out i have to take a step back. If i need to take a couple days off work i do just that, sometimes i even just call off for the day just to catch up on some sleep & to just rest my body . If something becomes too overwhelming for me & starts to affect my mental i just simply take a break from it until i feel my best self.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

Hey , I’m kenzie! .one of the things im focused on professionally is content creating. I mainly create videos where i’m vlogging my day to day life. Most of my videos are really about how i go through life working two jobs. Most of the time i put a voiceover over my videos were i’m describing what’s going in the video and also telling my supporters anything that’s on my mind. I feel i have grown my platforms the way i have because alot of people can relate to me & my content. people really love to support & follow people they can relate to.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

I would say my main 3 skills is the fact that im outgoing, funny & real . My advice i would give to anyone early in their content creating journey is to BE YOURSELF. Don’t try to be different on camera or social media. people will love and support you more for being real with them and yourself , most importantly you’ll be so much more comfortable by being yourself. I also would say to stay consistent with anything you really want to take serious because nobody will take you serious if you don’t or if your not determined .

Before we go, maybe you can tell us a bit about your parents and what you feel was the most impactful thing they did for you?

The most impactful thing my parents instilled in me was to not do what i see everyone else do . I am the person i am today because i stuck with that, of course it was not always easy to stand by but as i grew i learned to just be me. I don’t follow all the latest trends , keep up with the newest music, etc. I wear what i like , listen to the music i like & i don’t follow what everyone else is doing. I feel i stand out more because of that & i love it.
