Meet Audrey Given | Content Creator – Fashion, Model, Lifestyle & Beauty

We had the good fortune of connecting with Audrey Given and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Audrey, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind my success is the authenticity and sense of community I’ve built through my content. My brand isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about real experiences, real connections, and real emotions. I share my life in a way that feels immersive, whether it’s through fashion, travel, food, or just everyday moments with friends. But what truly resonates with people is my openness. I don’t just post the highlights, I share the struggles, the self doubt, and the journey of figuring things out. That vulnerability has created a space where others feel seen, and that’s what makes my content meaningful.

Beyond that, my success is deeply rooted in the people around me. My friends, my audience, and the brands I collaborate with all play a role in what I do. I’ve always prioritized genuine relationships, and I think that’s what sets me apart. When people engage with my content, it’s because they feel a connection and want to be part of a story. Whether it’s hyping up my friends, sharing a fun night out, or encouraging others to embrace their own creativity, my content is meant to bring people together.

At the end of the day, success to me isn’t just about numbers or brand deals, it’s about impact. If my content can inspire someone to be more confident, try something new, or simply feel less alone in their own journey, then I know I’m doing something right. That’s what keeps me going, and that’s what makes everything I create feel so fulfilling.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My content is about capturing life in a way that feels immersive, exciting, and real. What sets me apart is my ability to bring people into my world and make them feel like they’re experiencing it with me. I don’t just document moments, I invite people to be part of the story. Whether it’s a fit check, a night out with my best friends, or a moment of vulnerability about self doubt, my content is always rooted in authenticity.

I’m most proud of the space I’ve created where people feel seen and connected. I grew up painfully shy, often feeling like an outsider, and now I’ve built a platform that celebrates community, confidence, and self-expression. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see how my content resonates with others, not just because it’s fun, but because it’s real. And that’s what excites me the most—the ability to continue growing, evolving, and bringing people along for the ride.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is how to manage comparison. Everyone says comparison is the thief of joy, but sometimes, you just can’t help it. In this field, where people are constantly showcasing their highlights and achievements, it’s easy to feel like I’m falling behind. There have been moments where I’ve questioned if I’m doing enough or if I’ll ever reach the level of success I admire in others. But what keeps me grounded is being keenly aware of everything I already have and how grateful I am for it all. Despite the lows, I have so many things and people to be thankful for. And when I shift my focus to that gratitude, it helps me turn down the outside noise and trust my own path.

If there’s one thing I want the world to know about me and my story, it’s that I’m just a girl figuring it out, embracing every opportunity, and sharing the journey in the most honest way possible. My brand is about having fun, expressing yourself, and building a community where people can be their truest selves. No matter where this journey takes me, that will always be at the heart of what I do.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting for a week, I’d make sure they got the full experience: great food, fun nights out, and a mix of unique activities that show off my favorite parts of the city.

During the day, we’d mix in shopping at NorthPark Mall or Legacy West, get creative with a fun class, or do something active like sand volleyball at The Village or Vitruvian Park. One of my favorite activities recently is swing dancing at Red River, which always makes for a fun & upbeat night.

Since I love eating Asian food, we’d definitely spend time in Carrollton (Korea Town). My favorite Korean spots are Ari, Cho Dang, Yin Tang, No 1 Plus Chicken and Sushi Kushi. If we wanted something a little more refined, Uchi would be the go-to spot for an incredible sushi experience. For dinner with a nice atmosphere, you can never go wrong with Barcelona Wine Bar or any place in lower Greenville/Bishop Arts.

For drinks, I’ve been really into happy hour at Parliament. Their cocktails are cheap but top-tier, and the moody, speakeasy vibe is perfect for catching up. I love a hidden gem, so I’d definitely take them to a few speakeasy-style spots like Apothecary or Bowen House. If we were in the mood to party, we’d head to Chi Chi for an upbeat pocha, or Greenlight or Komodo for a clubbing night.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There are so many people who have played a role in my journey, but if I had to dedicate my shoutout to anyone, it would be my incredible friends and the community I’ve built along the way. I’ve been lucky enough to surround myself with people who genuinely believe in me, support my wildest ideas, and lift me up when I can’t see my own potential. Whether it’s hyping me up in real life, engaging with my content, or just reminding me of my worth on the days I doubt myself, their love and encouragement mean everything to me.

I also want to shout out the people who have connected with my content. Whether you’ve followed me from the start or just discovered me, every message, comment, and moment of shared vulnerability reminds me why I do this. Knowing that something I put out into the world can inspire, entertain, or comfort someone is the most rewarding part of it all.

And of course, I have to acknowledge the people who challenged me. The ones who doubted me, underestimated me, or didn’t take me seriously. In a way, they pushed me to go harder, believe in myself even more, and prove that I deserve to take up space. Every part of my journey, the support, the setbacks, the lessons, has shaped me into who I am today, and I’m so grateful for it all.
