Not everyone can win over Simon Cowell, but today’s guest did just that to get her golden ticket to Hollywood.

Quigley, aka Casey Goode, shined as a contestant on season 8 of American Idol before getting cut during the semifinals round. Even though her dreams of making it as a musician came to a halt, Quigley’s true spotlight moment didn’t come until she discovered her love of photoshoot design & production, putting her creative genius front and center instead of letting a show define her story. Since then, she has become a digital content creator super star with her popular blog and Instagram account, @officiallyquigley, amassing 330,000 loyal followers. If her gorgeous shoots don’t wow you, then her authentic personality will definitely make you a fan! Seriously, go check out her account. Her photo game is unmatched.

These days, Quigley loves spending time with her husband and adorable baby, creating unique content, and teaching self-care and mindset to other creators through her education company, Soulcial Media. 

I actually first connected with Quigley when we collaborated on her Creator Course Bundle last year, and she truly has one of the best hearts. 

Listen in to hear us talk about the best tips for creating eye-catching photos for social media, the importance of showing off the unedited parts of life, and why quitting can be a good thing when you pause one passion to give yourself the time to pursue another.
