Later in the show, Shannon Doherty joins us for some pre-Halloween hacks and more!
Change-1 Moved Shannon to next Saturday Sept 24 so we have enough time!
Doherty joined TikTok in March 2020 when the pandemic started. She started to share parenting hacks, DIY activities, recipes, and crafts. She quickly gained hundreds of thousands of followers after her DIY * STAY HEALTHY* FRONT DOOR SUPPLIES STATION went viral and took over TikTok as she inspired families with safety tips during the pandemic. Doherty is also the founder of Coco and Lala, a lifestyle brand and clothing boutique for women and children, featuring stylish clothing and accessories with custom items designed by Doherty herself. Coco and Lala sweatshirts and PJs are best-sellers. Coco and Lala launched a campaign to encourage handwashing in 2020. The proceeds went to the organization No Kid Hungry.
When Doherty posted her life with her kids at home, people questioned her about things that she had in her kitchen and things behind her in her videos. She realized that there was a space on TikTok for people wanting to learn ideas she has as a mom of four. Since then, her account At Home with Shannon has tallied over 40 million views from parents interested in everything from easy dinner ideas to creating a neon volcano science experiment at the kitchen table.
Doherty, who worked in finance, real estate, and studied law, is sharing her creative side with the world and is loved for her authenticity, realness, and her genius “life-saving” super-mom hacks. Her viral videos have been featured on GMA, Newsweek, Buzzfeed and THE TODAY SHOW.
