120: Some Instagram drama (the cost of authenticity)


Listen Later

I posted this (kinda salty) Instagram Reel back in May… and boy did people have feelings about it. [Please please please be kind if you're going to comment there!]

Everyone says they want more “authenticity” on social media. 

But what happens when you show up as your imperfect, un-polished self on social media… and people don’t like it? 

This is a SUPER IMPORTANT episode for anyone who wants to show up more, but you’re terrified of what people might say. 

I share: 

  • Why this Reel might have been triggering (Was I really an ungrateful, braggy b*tch?)
  • Why I posted it anyway, even though I knew it might be controversial
  •  The crucial lessons for any business owner wanting to show up more unfiltered on social media

You know what makes social media hard? Pretending to be someone you’re not. I hope this episode inspires you to do less of that, and more of being your brave, true self.
