This post is all about 5 influencers that give inspiration for a better life.
Do you think that you are not enough? Are you too easily distracted and can’t reach your life goals because of inconsistency? Let me tell you now that there are loads of influencers out there that have the capabilities of making you feel more motivated by sharing their thoughts and experiences.
I didn’t start this better life journey until 2017.
It wasn’t until I started exposing myself to influencers that were living the life that I wanted that caused me to want to do better and take control over my life.
When I watch them and how they grow and become successful, it tells me that it is possible to have the successful life that I always wanted.
My definition of success may not be the same theirs but they’re the driving force that tells me to keep going and that it is possible.
I believe that influencers like the ones I list below are one of the reasons I am who I am today and one of the reasons I am where I am today.
This post is all about 5 influencers that give inspiration for a better life.

5 Female Influencers That Give Inspiration For A Better Life
1. Linh Truong
About
I wanted to start the list with Linh Truong because I relate to her the most.
She is a college student who is trying to create and improve her personal brand business while also attending school full time. Not only that, she’s Vietnamese with broken Vietnamese speaking just like me! (Who knew I would find someone almost just like me. She is definitely more successful than I am though.)
She is so smart and her confidence level is through the roof. At least from what I can see from the youtube videos she shares. I do not doubt that she is confident outside of her career too.
Platform
Her platform is on YouTube and she mainly talks about her everyday life, her interests, school tips, and her creativity through art.
The moment that you start watching her videos, you will automatically be exposed to her aesthetic nature of living. You will notice her choices in color schemes throughout her video edits, the clothes she wears, and even in the way she speaks.
I always feel so relaxed when I watch her videos.
I envy her talent but I mostly appreciate that she has the confidence and courage to show her creative side to the entire world.
She also has some very strong opinions towards touchy subjects so if you’re into that, she is very vocal about a lot.
The way she speaks is so entertaining too. She has a habit of going into the third person a lot.
For example: “Linh doesn’t think that’s a good idea” or something like that. I find it so cute and shows that she has a personality.
Why I Recommend
Everything about Linh’s channel has the ability to transform anyone’s day.
She speaks as if she understands every single piece of our emotions.
The way she is driven and stays relatively organized is so motivating and makes you want to be better for yourself too.
Her independence is so admirable and can be contagious for those that are also willing to put in the effort.
Most importantly, you can tell the amount of effort she puts into her videos. Her effort shows that she cares about what she is doing significantly.
When I watch her content, I am always so curious as to how she does her animations and little doodles. No matter how hard I think about it, my only answer is that she probably paid thousands of dollars to get her content to look so customizable.
But everything you see is all Linh Truong.
Well, she has a manager too so I’m sure the manager is contributing some too.
Recently, Linh changed her theme for how she ends her videos to signify that she has reached a new time in her life. I think that it is such a creative way to show her transition in life.
If you watch her later videos and make your way to her more recent videos, you will know what I am talking about.
I’m sure there is more I could say about Linh but there is just too much. I aspire to be as content with life as she is.
2. Jenn Im
About
Jenn Im seems as if she is always in the prime of her life and believes that her life can only get better from here.
She is also Asian; however, she is Korean (imagine if she was Vietnamese too.)
She is an entrepreneur who has spoken at seminars about being a boss and even opened up an online clothing store. How cool is that?!
I think she has since discontinued that store though.
She is all about living a better life and doing it with as little stress as possible (which can be difficult a lot of the time.)
I wonder how she will continue to do so now that she has a son but I know she will figure it out.
Platform
I can’t remember when I first discovered Jenn but it was when she was still clothesencounters on YouTube. I was trying to find life tips about confidence, weight loss, and studying in school.
Since I started watching her, I have seen her travel, create a business, do a boyfriend tag, get married, have a pregnancy reveal, and so much more.
I love the way she shares her life as a documentary of her memories. My favorite videos of hers were the ones where she documented her pregnancy journey.
She is a fashion lifestyle Youtuber who is obsessed with makeup and uses it so well.
She is in the process of starting a family so her channel is starting to transition from her young outgoing fashionista self into a more motherhood transition.
I am not exactly sure what she plans to do with her content creation but I predict motherhood will be very apparent while also tying in the fashion tips, life tips, and anything else she is experiencing.
Why I Recommend
Jenn was the first female influencer I found out of all the women on this list.
Like Linh Truong, Jenn’s videos make you feel relaxed but you can also feel a lot of love from her.
She gives you a sense of innocence despite how adult some of the topics she touches on are.
If you watch Jenn on YouTube, you will also feel a sense of inspiration and feel motivated to start some kind of creative activity.
Not only that, she is such an intelligent, kind, and beautiful woman.
Alongside her journey is her husband. These two are one of the relationships that you would want in the room because you would be able to feel their love radiate and make you feel some indirect love too. (Or you’ll be jealous and miserable because their love is so good. Hopefully the first option.)
You can even go to her Husband’s YouTube channel (Ben Jolliffe) which is mostly him cooking and sharing his recipes with a lot of jokes along the way.
I think from Jenn’s channel, you will have more of an open mind to the fact that there is so much more potential to live better than how you are living now. There are always ways to be better and that change is okay.
3. Mya Gilleland
About
Mya Gilleland is a college dropout who has been married since she was 19 years old.
Wait, what? She sounds so young!
She does but she knew exactly what she did and didn’t want. Her age didn’t stop her from living the life she wanted.
Mya proved otherwise that you can still live a successful life without a college degree and chase your dreams at a young age.
She did it by following her gut and not letting fear stop her (well, she probably had some fear.)
She has since created a full-time job for herself on social media and has created a self-brand business. Her business revolves around how to grow your audience and potentially make a full time income on Instagram.
Platform
If you didn’t already realize, her platform is on instagram (myanichol.)
I found Mya on Instagram when she was still at about 6,000 followers in August of 2021 (Maybe my numebrs are wrong but that’s about when I remember.)
I checked her follower count again a little over a month after and she was almost at 30,000 followers.
Why does her follower number matter? Her entire business mainly revolves around how to grow your Instagram account.
With a larger following, it is much easier to make it into a business and start generating income.
With how fast her follower count is increasing as each day goes by, you can tell that she finally figured out the formula after months and months of trial and error.
She has turned herself into an asset for her audience giving her so much more authority in her specialty.
Why I Recommend
Mya is a perfect example of how successful you can become by just being willing to learn, putting in the effort, and staying consistent.
She did it successfully and it looks as if she is at the prime of her life this far. But we all know she’s just gonna grow and become a bigger name from here.
All of her tips and tricks are mainly applied to how to grow your Instagram. However, if you look at the overall theme of the tips and broaden the idea a bit more, her tips can be applied to any aspect of your life that you are trying to improve.
(I’m sort of trying to use her tips to help me grow my blog. But only the tips that can be applied such as being consistent and creating content that is tailored more for the audience and not myself.)
Her main nudges are to put in the work and stay consistent which is the formula to success for a long of things.
4. Olivia Lucie Blake
About
Olivia is in her 20s trying to improve her health, her mindset, and life in general.
She had started her blog years ago but had lost the spark for it until 2020.
When she got back into the blogging world again, she decided to go full force with it and has created a business. She has also created a blogging community through her blog (which I am now a part of hehe.)
Not only is she creating a brand for herself, but she is also helping others along the way.
She has created a safe space for anyone and everyone.
Platform
She has a self-named blog (Olivia Lucie Blake) which I thought would be a great addition to this list since I am also aspiring to become a successful blogger.
Through her blog, she shares her experiences and her thoughts to help her audience become a better version of themselves too.
Olivia has also created a guide of blogging tips about how to grow your blog in 30 days for new bloggers.
I have yet to purchase that (because I need all the help I can get.)
Her main premise is to provide tips and tricks for her audience when it comes to improving lives, helping to improve other’s lives, and blogging tips.
Why I Recommend
I have only recently discovered Olivia and her blog and do not know too much about her yet but I can tell she is a motivated individual who is striving towards a happier lifestyle.
She is fairly consistent with her blog posting schedule which is so refreshing.
Sometimes you get the bloggers that post too little and those that post too often. I think she hit the sweet spot. (Too bad I only have time for 2 blog posts a week.)
Every time she posts a new blog, I get excited because I know that whatever she has to say can be applied to my life in some aspect even if it wasn’t the way she intended.
I really like surrounding myself with people that mostly are striving towards the same life that I am striving towards.
I feel that if you surround yourself with people that have the same goals as you, it makes it easier for you to reach your goals. You can also help each other become better and reach your goals as well.
With her blog, she documents her journeys and some of her life milestones which I think helps her appear more relatable.
Being relatable helps her audience feel motivated to take action and also strive towards a better life for themselves.
Not only that, I can watch her grow as an influencer too as I continue interacting with the content that she puts out.
I really like how her blog is revolved around her and her life while still being able to provide information that she knows her audience wants to read.
5. Tonya Leigh
About
Tonya Leigh is an entrepreneur who is constantly trying to live life with little to no shame about anything.
She used to be like a majority of the population trying to find ways to improve her life such as how to lose weight and keep it off.
She would try to stay healthy by dieting and exercising but would find herself unsuccessful and unmotivated all the time because she was unhappy.
She would constantly refer to herself as not good enough until she realized that she wasn’t the issue. Her issue was her self-image.
She was then able to change her mindset and nourish herself in the way it needed to be nourished.
Her fix in her self-image made her happier and she went down to her natural weight and was able to keep it off with less effort than before.
(Her podcast isn’t all about losing weight, this is just one of the examples she gave about her life change.)
Platform
I found Tonya Leigh on my podcast app but she also has other forms of social media as well.
You can find her on Instagram and at her website School of Self-Image.
Because of how powerful her self-image fix experience was and how much she learned from it, she decided she wanted to share her experiences in the hopes to help other women reach their amazing self-image to be their best selves too.
She made an entire course where she will guide you step by step on how to fix your self-image.
If you read the testimonials on her website, you can see how her course has changed other people’s lives.
She does have a podcast but the course would go into much more detail. The course will help guide you to put in the work rather than her just talk to you and you listen like in the podcasts. (I have not purchased the course yet and only speak about what I have heard from her testimonials and Tonya Leigh herself.)
She has pretty much built a community of like-minded women who want to fix their self-image through her podcasts and course.
Why I Recommend
Tonya Leigh is my favorite influencer find.
I sometimes listen toher podcasts on long drives, as I fall alseep, and even in the shower. I always feel like I belong.
This is because she talks with care and shows that she cares about you and your self-image. She understands what you’re going through and that everything you’re doing is normal.
Her podcast encourages women to stop thinking so negatively about themselves and to feel more empowered in their skin.
We have to believe in ourselves and think the way we want to feel.
I prefer her older podcasts over her newer uploads because it was when she had a smaller audience. I think that she was more focused on what she wanted to talk about instead of talking about what her audience was doing and how they were interacting with her content.
But if you listen to her podcasts from the very beginning in order up till now, you’ll see how much her business has grown.
She even talks about how her business has grown from being only her parents listening in to having thousands of listeners (after a while of recording podcasts though, not instantly.)
Ending Note
These 5 female influencers are so good at what they do with their lives.
Each and every one of them had a goal, went for it, and did it. Or they just have an endless goal of always improving themselves and become their best.
It is these 5 women that I will always refer back to when I need another nudge of motivation when I am feeling unsuccessful.
I hope you will take a look at what all of these women have created and hope that you will find inspiration for a better life from them to help yourself in return.
Also, just interacting with their content supports them. I know that they would greatly appreciate it because their audience is how they were able to reach their goals and success (alongside the sweat and tears of excessive work.)
