Figuring out what to share on social media is hard. Do you just post your work and keep it professional? Or do you sprinkle in a little personal stuff so people actually get to know you? It’s tricky to know where the line is, and let’s not even get started on the fear of oversharing or posting something irrelevant.

In this episode, I’m diving into this confession: "maybe more asking for advice than a confession, but i was wanting your opinion on the balance between your personal & business side on social media. i feel like just posting marketing tips & mock-ups doesn’t give insight into you as a person to make a connection. but at the same time, i don’t wanna over-do it & post completely irrelevant or confusing content for my target audience and my goal of gaining traction and community"
