Whether you’re on social media for friends and family, using it to build a business, or have sworn off of it all together, social media affects all of us BIG TIME. There’s no denying it! So I wanted to share my story, and all I’ve learned about how to use Instagram in a way that enriches my life and business, rather than drains it. It’s been a long road! My life, of course, is not actually ruined, but for a while, I absolutely let my performance on Instagram determine my mood for the day, how I felt about my business, and without realizing, I let it affect how I valued myself as a person. I open up quite a lot here, it's ROUGH, haha, but I really hope that sharing what I’ve learned serves you, or helps you feel less alone and empowered.

But before you have a Zoolander-esque breakdown, (“WHO AM I?!”) in this episode we are going into what it even means to “be yourself”, why it’s easy to feel lost, and then giving you 4 awesome ideas for how to be MORE of yourself, no matter where you are showing up!
