S1 E4 - Behind the scenes of a post gone VIRAL | Dealing with Trolls & Self doubt

Episode Synopsis: [Audio Diary recorded 3.10.25 ]

In this raw, sleep-deprived episode of Glitter Mouth, I'm documenting in real-time what it's like to go viral for the first time—recording voice memos throughout the night as my stair fall video climbs from thousands to over 3 million views (and eventually the video hits over 15M) while I can't sleep due to anxiety and my autoimmune condition flaring.

Perfect for creators curious about the psychological reality of viral fame and anyone struggling with putting themselves out there authentically.

In this episode, I talk about:

• ​Realizing that going viral doesn't feel triumphant—it feels like watching a slow-motion car crash with a pit of dread
• ​Recording at 2:54 AM because I literally cannot sleep as my video explodes online—going from 4,000 to over a million views overnight
• ​Getting confusing comments that completely miss the point of my inspirational post and having to Google internet slang
• ​Responding to every negative comment with kindness by looking at people's profiles and finding something to relate to
• ​The methodology behind creating viral content: thinking like a TV writer with hooks, suspense, and visual storytelling
• ​Meditating beforehand and manifesting exactly 109,000 views and 10,001 followers (though the views went way higher)
• ​The loneliness of going viral—
• ​Planning my next stunt video: skateboarding blindfolded in a dress and heels with a helmet for safety
• ​How my autoimmune rash actually liberated me from perfectionism because now I'm just grateful not to have open sores everywhere
• ​The dark reality that some people interpreted my empowering stunt video as something self-destructive
• ​The exhausting process of moderating hundreds of comments while trying to stay positive and kind
