Lately, I’ve been seeing so many people online stressed about their Instagram likes, follower counts, and reel views. And honestly? It’s time to stop caring. In this episode, I’m breaking down why obsessing over numbers is a waste of time and energy—especially if you’re a photographer or creative business owner.

I’ll dive into:
- Why social media stats don’t define your success
- The never-ending algorithm chase (and why you’ll never “win”)
- How focusing on numbers can lead to burnout and kill creativity
- Why a small, engaged audience is better than a huge, uninterested one
- The importance of staying authentic and creating work YOU love

Let’s shift the focus back to what actually matters: making great content, improving your skills, and building genuine connections. Hit play and let’s talk!
