I decided to take a break from social media in September mostly to reclaim some of my time. I decided I would stay active but not be obligated to a schedule. I didn’t determine how long the break would be in advance.  

I'm currently four months in and let me tell you, I am loving it!  So in this episode I’m sharing what I've learned during my social media sabbatical. I will be honest up front and let you know everything I learned isn’t positive but the positive things I’ve learned are worth it.

Something has gotta give! Have you ever made that statement? It’s usually what happens when you aren’t working towards what you truly want. But then again, it’s scary to start something new. At this point, you have to have what I call a black coffee conversation with yourself. 

There is a four step method you can follow to help you identify your desired lifestyle, your identity, your feelings, and your expression. It’s Christina Giordano’s L.I.F.E method which is a thoughtful approach to going after what you want in life intentionally. Having this clarity also matters in your marketing. So today, Christina and I talk about her signature method and how to create more alignment so that you can set yourself up for success starting now and into 2022.
