Today, we’d like to introduce you to Cari Gonzalez.
Hi Cari, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I am a Soccer mom, and I basically fell into this by accident.
My kids have been playing soccer for the last 12-13 years. My son is on a travel soccer team, and I created my soccer mom’s Instagram page as a way to document the funny and not-so-funny scenarios that happen. Never in a million years did I think it would take off as it did, nor did it ever dawn on me how many people nationwide, let alone world wide, actually relate.
Now, I highlight the goings-on of not just soccer but also cheer as that is what my daughter does. I absolutely love it and love that so many people relate and have reached out to me because of it. I have made some amazing connections because of it and look forward to making many more.
Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has been smooth, with the occasional troll thrown in the mix.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe you can tell us more about your work next?
I am a passionate soccer mom and dedicated to sharing the vibrant world of youth soccer with families.
My journey started many moons ago on the sidelines, cheering for my kids, and has evolved into an amazing online community where I share the ups, downs, the good, the bad, and the ugly of life and sports mom life.
My goal is to inspire, inform, and connect with fellow soccer parents, offering them a glimpse into the exciting, sometimes chaotic, but always rewarding world of youth sports.
Authenticity and Relatability: My content is grounded in real-life experiences. From early morning practices to post-game celebrations, I share the authentic highs and lows of being a soccer mom. Followers appreciate my candidness and feel a genuine connection to my stories. I AM 1000000% REAL.
My platform is not just about my journey; it’s about building a supportive community. I actively engage with my followers through LIVES, Q&A, and even through WhatsApp groups, encouraging them to share their own experiences and fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual support.
I am working on collaborating with a variety of brands, sports organizations, and fellow influencers to bring exciting and diverse content to my audience. These partnerships will allow me to offer exclusive insights, product reviews, and special promotions, adding value to my followers’ experience.
Through my social media presence, I hope to continue growing this incredible community of soccer enthusiasts, celebrating the beautiful game and the wonderful families who love it as much as I do.
We love surprises, fun facts, and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
How incredibly real I am. I strive for that. There is no room for fakeness on my page. I love what I do and put 1000% of me behind it.
