19. Musings on the ‘gram

Oct 5

Summary:

I have a true love-hate relationships with Instagram these days. Digging into my thoughts on the good, bad and ugly sides of social media lately, from both a personal and business perspective.

Everything you consume is energy - and that includes social media. This solo episode explores the positives and negatives of social media lately, and how I am shifting my business strategy to include a lot less time on the ‘gram. (Which is admittedly a big step for this millennial mama).

I touch on…

Just how LONG I’ve been using Instagram (since 2012 I since figured out) and the initial success I saw when I started my entrepreneurial journey.
The shift that social media has taken throughout the pandemic and beyond.
Knowing when it’s time to take a break.
Tips on using Instagram more intentionally and not succumbing to endless scrolling.
How to best manage your energy when using the app, and what you might be avoiding in your real life (hint: it’s not always a bad thing).
The reasons behind my strategic redirection off Instagram.
Ideas on how you can grow your business without social media (PS: you might actually have to get out of your comfort zone).
