I love creating content. I’ve always been creative, but when I discovered my love of writing at University and started documenting my life on my first blog, I realized that I love telling stories for the world to hear (or read). If I’m honest, I’ve always loved telling stories. My parents say that I used to stand up in public places as a little child and tell stories to the whole room. I guess things haven’t changed much since then, have they?

But, keeping up this blog isn’t just amazing because of my audience. It’s also amazing because of the community you join once you begin consuming and creating content on the internet. I’ve been a social media fan for as long as social media has been around and with that definitely comes a long list of favorite YouTube videos, Twitter accounts, and Instagram photographers that I’d be happy to share with anyone upon request. I love being connected with people all over the world and seeing the amazing things they can produce and put out into the world for other people to enjoy.

I’m inspired every single day to keep doing what I’m doing by other Bloggers, Writers, Photographers, and other creatives who remind me that the possibilities really are endless with a gig like this. And, because my whole goal is to inspire others with what I do, I thought I’d show you all the people who currently are inspiring me most with what they do.

Below is a list of 16 incredible content creators - all incidentally women, too #girlpower - who create beautiful, inspiring works of art on the internet for the world to see and deserve to be highlighted for doing so. Click the links in their names and explore their content, too. Trust me, I’m sure they’ll inspire you, too.

And not that any of these lovely ladies will ever see this, but in case they do - thank you to all of you for spreading your colorful passions with the world. You have inspired me and thousands of other folks like me. And to all the content creators out there big and small, I salute you. Let’s keep espresso-ing ourselves together!

1. Carrie Dayton, *Youtuber*

Carrie Dayton is a truly inspiring human being. She creates videos on a variety of lifestyle topics - ranging from serious to humorous and everything in between. She prides herself on being our “honorary big sis” and I can say without hesitation that despite never meeting her, to me, she is just that. Her wise advice and caring, honest nature has helped me feel less alone in my feelings and experiences and also inspired me to make real improvements in life like she did - both on my blog and off. Carrie has helped me tap into a more real, raw part of my personality with her videos and I can’t thank her enough.

2. From Roses, *Blogger*

From Roses is an English blogger who lives in the countryside with her dogs and boyfriend. She is first and foremost and incredible photographer.

She was also the person who inspired me to write this post with her “5 Bloggers Who Remind Me Why I Started” post - talk about pay it forward.

3. Jayde Archives, *Blogger*

Jayde is somehow the most magical and most down-to-earth blogger I’ve ever had the pleasure of stumbling upon, at the same time. She built her blogging empire from the ground up and has made more than just a name for herself. All of her content is perfectly thought-out and gorgeously done. She really does seek - and find - every day magic and she reminds me with every Instagram post to look for it myself.

4. The Londoner, *Blogger*

For me, Rosie - The Londoner - is the OG blogger. I had never encountered a blog before I found her site. I’ve been following her well-dressed life for many years. I aspire to be as healthy and happy as her - and have her closet. She picked up blogging as a way to keep in touch with her family when she moved away - similar to my beginning - and now she’s one of the most famous bloggers around. She really is a person to set your sights towards!

5. Classy Clean Chic, *blogger*

Emerson from Classy Clean Chic is probably one of the most adorable Bloggers I’ve ever seen. She’s super educated and does her blogging gig purely as a side-hustle for when she’s not killing it at her amazing Engineering job! If that’s not #goals, I don’t know what is. She also was one of the first big-time bloggers to reach out to me on my Instagram and say hi and send encouragement. To me, that matters more than just about anything - thanks Emerson.

Cammi from My Happy Place is an absolute inspiration. She’s a mature, fierce, and fabulous fashion blogger who is absolutely killing it. She inspires me by reminding me that we content creators are not all cut from the same mold. It’s so easy doing this to feel less than when you don’t fit the stereotype, but Cammi is not concerned with any stereotypes and makes her own rules and I love her for it.

13. lucie fink, *content creator*

Lucie Fink from Refinery29 is a video creator who stars in her own series “Try Living With Lucie.” She does some crazy things for a week and reports back to the rest of us how it went. She reminds me expand my horizons and try new things. She talks all the time about how great some of her experiments were for her and how much she learned. Thanks to her, I’m now determined to become a minimalist and live a “zero waste” lifestyle some day - just you wait and see.

14. gal meets glam, *blogger/fashion designer*

Julia from Gal Meets Glam is an unbelievable person. Her and her husband are living the dream and she has turned her blog into an entire fashion line and I couldn’t be more obsessed with that. She designs the most gorgeous and feminine dresses for the modern woman and I feel truly inspired to imagine how far my blog might take me someday. Plus, her style both with clothing and interiors are truly stunning. She inspires me to embrace my femininity and class and I thank her for that.

15. rachel hollis, *content creator/author*

What can I say about Rachel Hollis that everyone doesn’t already know? She turned her little blog into and entire media empire and I am so incredibly proud of her and inspired by her. It’s always been a dream of mine to author a book and another to be famous - both of which she’s done. After reading her book “Girl, Wash Your Face,” I feel like I can take on the entire world. And if that’s what it takes to be as successful as her someday, that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

16. simply tess, *blogger*

Tess from Simply Tess is another amazing Michigan-based blogger. She’s younger than me but really has her stuff together. I envy her ability to keep her Instagram and blog aesthetic so perfect so effortlessly. I also love following her adventures because she lives and works in the same area as I do. I feel like I really can relate to her posts on a literal level and I love feeling like I have a blogger to look up to who is right down the road. Maybe some day we can meet up for a coffee and she’ll share some of her success secrets with me. What do you think, Tess, you in? 😉

There you have it - my favorite fellow fierce female creators. I hope I did them justice with my blurbs and that you might find some of them as incredible as I do. Everyone needs inspiring people to keep us on our toes and remind us what it means to keep going with our dreams, and these lovely ladies do just that. ♥️
