5 things I wish someone had told me before I became a social media manager — the stuff nobody talks about because it's easier to sell the dream than prepare you for the reality. From dealing with trolls and negative comments on your content, to losing clients you love, to the hiring nightmares nobody warns you about — this is the honest version. 

In this video: 

✨ Why negative comments hit different when you're creating UGC and client content 

✨ The hard truth about clients leaving (and outgrowing the ones who stay) ✨ Why hiring and outsourcing is never as simple as business coaches make it sound 

✨ The 9-to-5 guilt that follows you into self-employment 

✨ How social media drains your nervous system — even when you love the work
