46. How Can I Find Myself Again After Experiencing Grief in Motherhood?

We’ve got to take our power back from the hungry machine of social media. Whether you are also an entrepreneur and run your businesses online or you’re there to find community I know how these platforms can lead to burnout and joy sucking comparison. In this episode, my husband Mike and I pull back the curtain and share an honest conversation about what it’s really like trying to keep up with impossible standards, and why so many people we know are stepping away from social media, and how to use these platforms to connect and benefit your mental health.  
 After listening to this episode, I hope you feel less alone in their struggles, get a glimpse into what it’s like for creators, while also gaining practical tips to use social media in a way that uplifts rather than overwhelms you.

45. Ways to use social media to benefit your mental health (+ BTS of being an “influencer”)

It’s been a rough week! My whole family got the stomach flu and I ended up having to cancel some major (like seriously BIG) guest interviews I had lined up in New York City. As I’ve felt down because of literally being sick, changing diarrhea diapers, and having lost money on top of missing out on a month’s worth of podcast interviews - I realized I was REALLY having to put into practice something I’ve been teaching in one of my most powerful workshops - 3 Ways to Get Your Fire Back When Life Knocks You Down. It’s all about accepting where you're at, acknowledging your emotions, and then taking action through small, consistent steps. Get ready for the toolbox to get your fire back and make it stick!
