In this episode of Dose of Social, we’re joined by the hilarious and heartfelt Julia Fowler—actress, screenwriter, and the creator behind the Southern Women Channel. From Broadway dreams to unexpected YouTube fame, Julia walks us through how one viral video in 2012 led to a full-blown brand celebrating Southern women, traditions, and sayings (all with a good dose of lipstick and laughter).

What started as a homesick creative experiment turned into a cultural movement—highlighting southern identity with charm, wit, and respect. Julia shares how her entertainment background helps her manage the chaos of producing high-quality sketch comedy online while balancing acting, screenwriting, and real life. Whether you’re a content creator, Southern girl at heart, or just love to laugh, this episode is a masterclass in authenticity, creative joy, and niche audience connection.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

• How Julia’s Southern roots and Broadway hustle shaped her creative journey
• The accidental origins and viral rise of the Southern Women Channel
• Her production workflow—from scripting 75 one-liners to editing with comedic rhythm
• Why staying true to culture and tone matters in niche content
• The fine line between celebrating vs. stereotyping Southern identity
• Community, burnout, and why she still treats her YouTube as a “creative playground”
• Julia’s best advice for balancing humor with respect in culturally specific content
