Since Monday’s episode was a Q&A it only felt right for this Thursday Throwback to be another one, but this time all the questions are online business related. Y’all know how much I love talking about business and especially when you folks are the ones asking the questions.

Let’s chat.

In April I did a Q&A over on Instagram, and—like usual—you folks came at me with some bomb-ass questions. I answered over there, but you can only say so much within the constraints of social media, so I wanted to have the chance to talk in more detail. I love doing these kinds of episodes, so if you ever have a question, send it, and I’ll make another episode!

Menopause (and peri menopause) is the new black in the online space, and because of that, no matter where I look, everyone is talking about fat + weight loss. I truly never thought I’d be talking about this (and I hate that I am) but it’s been on my mind and I needed to say something. I truly believe our purpose in this life is to lean in to joy and be happy, but when you spend your whole life worrying about being as small as you possibly can, how could that bring you anything but sadness? I know we’ll never get people to let go of the idea of fat loss, but maybe we can help people lean in to function too, and not just aesthetics.

On Monday we talked about automating Instagram comments and DM’s, but if you’re not getting any engagement, there’s nothing to automate. If your social media comment section is a ghost town, then I have a 5-part answer that’ll help you reflect on the way you’re showing up online and increase your levels of engagement. After all, using Instagram for online business starts with creating relationships, and those relationships start with you leading the conversation.

I’m sure you’ve seen one of those posts going around that has some sort of call to action like, “comment the word ‘YES’ and I’ll send you the link!” These creators aren’t sending out links individually, they’ve actually automated their Instagram comments and DMs. It seems like a miracle, especially for those of us who get burnt out from answering the same questions over and over again, so I thought we could talk a little bit about the how’s, why’s, and when’s when it comes to automating on Insta.

This Throwback Thursday episode is a double whammy—it was initially two episodes that I’m rereleasing as one because if you haven’t heard it yet, then you need to immediately, and if you have already heard, well you need to listen again. This conversation, had with none other than my twin, Laura Jean, is the perfect follow-up to Monday’s conversation about the connection conundrum. As human beings, we all want to be seen, heard, and known. If we want that for ourselves, we have to lead from the front and show up in our full humanity so others can feel safe to do the same. That’s how we lead with our values, in life and in business. Y’all know I love actionable advice, especially when coupled with nuance and a deep conversation, and if that’s what you’re craving too, there’s no one better than Laura Jean.

I spend a lot of time on social media, and I’m sure you do too, so you’ve probably noticed the dumpster-fire that seems to be happening in comment sections everywhere. We all desperately want connection, but it’s turned into anger, judgement, and what-about-ism every time a piece of content exists that isn’t perfectly tailored to our lived experiences. Y’all know I’m solution oriented, so I’m always thinking about what’s to be done about it. I’m not sure there’s ever a “right” answer to make it all better, but maybe there are some things we can do to start heading in a better, happier direction.

Today’s episode features a very special guest: Dr. Uchenna “UC” Ossai. If you don’t already know her, get ready, because you're in for one hell of a treat.

I’m bringing today’s episode back from the vault because UC is speaking at #BossUp this year, and if you weren’t already convinced about going, you will be after hearing her here. She's just an all around dope human being with an energy that is absolutely infectious and it was awesome to have her on the podcast.

UC's upbringing shaped her into the incredible human she is, and the drive for excellence that her parents instilled in her transcends all aspects of her life. The world is changing, and it’s people like UC who are leading us forward. Quite possibly one of the most powerful ideas to be expressed on this podcast, UC explains that the power we inherently hold as healthcare providers makes it our DUTY to put in the work to understand the social issues that affect our patients and thus dictate how to provide them the best care.

If you’ve never been to a live event, you need to. And it’s not because the information you’ll get there is just too good to pass up (although, that’s certainly a benefit of live events) but there’s another magic you’ll experience entirely when you’re in the same room with other people who are action takers, just like you. So if you’re never been to a live event, and if you’re an action taker—which I know you are because you listen to this podcast—I hope I’ll see you at #BossUp this fall. It’ll change you, and it’ll change how you run your business.

We talked about Threads on Monday and over there, folks be complaining. In my opinion, at the heart of all that bitching, is unhappiness. Some people are committed to being unhappy, but for the most part, I think people don’t know how to make the things that bring them joy a priority. If something matters to you, then you do it. So what are you making time for in your life?
