Aims Connor: Going Viral On TikTok Almost Broke Me | Let's Be Real

In this episode of Let's Be Real, Emilee sits down with Aims Connor — nurse, mum of four, and one of Australia's most unexpectedly viral TikTok creators. Aims opens up about what really happens when the numbers take over: posting five, six, seven TikToks a day, losing sight of her own values, and having to ask herself who she was actually doing it all for. She also gets honest about the darker side of going viral — death threats, relentless trolling, and comments about her age and personality that she's learned to shut out. Plus: her daughter's autism diagnosis, the leftover food videos that started it all, and how sobriety laid the foundation for the life she has today. 0:00 Aims Connor: TikTok, Trolls, and Living Sober 0:22 Who She Is Before Social Media 2:43 Starting TikTok During Lockdown 4:17 The Food Content and Her Daughter's Autism Diagnosis 12:12 The Leftover Food Videos That Went Viral 17:34 Losing Herself to the Algorithm 21:39 Death Threats, Trolling, and Online Hate 27:20 Her Sobriety Story --- Welcome to Nova's YouTube Channel!
