I left Instagram a while ago now and it was honestly one of the best things I could have done. No more pressure to post for the sake of it, no more random engagement and no more backlog of DMs to reply to! I don't feel there are lots of us around who are totally happy having let go of some form of social media for business marketing, so when I recently connected with Robyn at a summit we were speaking on and discovered she had also left social media, I knew I would love to have her on the podcast.

Social anxiety affects so many different parts of my business and it can be really difficult to manage how I show up and give energy on a daily basis. One of the things I've shared before on this podcast (episode 41!) is that I don't think you need to push yourself outside of your comfort zone in order to grow as a person. Today on the podcast, I'm sharing about a situation I was in recently where I really should have taken my own advice! If you have social anxiety, or you sometimes can't just "push through" things that others can, today's episode is the permission slip you've been looking for so that you can take a step back and allow yourself to do what feels right for you.

• Why I signed up for an in-person retreat even though I have social anxiety
