Let's talk about trusting yourself, tuning out the external noise & coming back to what YOU want from your life and business.

I’m 3 months into this podcast – and things are shifting.

Today’s episode is part behind-the-scenes, part therapy session, and a full reflection on what happens when the path ahead isn’t as clear as it used to be.

I’m sharing the full story behind a recent Instagram post, the conversations that helped me start making decisions again, and the quiet realisation that it might be time for Social By Nao to evolve.

This isn’t an exciting announcement. It’s still the messy middle. It’s fear, doubt, and the discomfort of growth – and what it looks like to sit in it and share before I've got it tied up in a bow.

Whether you're also navigating a pivot, overthinking your next move, or just wondering where your business is heading next – I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone.

There's a real pressure to share-all online in the name of being 'authentic' - but when does that go too far? Are we expecting ourselves (and others) to share before we've even had time to process what's going on? Let's talk about it.

(Plus an update on the podcast's spontaneous week off - spoiler alert: I was in a car accident.)

Today's episode is all about the differences between working with a social media manager vs. a social media strategist - which one do you need? What can you expect from working with social media support?

Plus, I spend some time answering today's DM dilemma: "Are Instagram stories the best place to sell? How do I get my views up?"
