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.

What does it EVEN MEAN to be yourself? It seems like something that should be effortless and easy right?
