Liz is one of the original Instagram therapists, but as the platform and algorithms have changed, so has her mindset about how she uses the space. Listen now to hear how Liz remains true to herself, trustworthy to her clients, and ethical in her career as a therapist while sharing her message online.

Christie Rocha's and Elizabeth Earnshaw's Ah-Ha Moments“For years, I have always enjoyed [Instagram]. I've always liked it. And I think when it shifted to a ‘you should do this’ is when it starts feeling like ‘ugh’.” – Christie Rocha “Once it became the obligation to say things a specific way…that obligation took the joy away…I'm only going to [post] now when I feel like it's something I really want to say or I feel confident about it, and it's aligned with what feels good. And I'm really trying not to look at metrics.” – Elizabeth Earnshaw “[As a therapist], any [public] stance that you take can be read by your client…and that can limit the way they talk to you.” – Elizabeth Earnshaw “It's much more powerful to talk about what you believe instead of what you don't believe.” – Elizabeth Earnshaw

Today With Kristen Gingrich:
Today on The Inner Edit I am joined by Kristen Gingrich, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, author, and cohost of Welcome to Group Therapy.

It became more recognized and relatable. Kristen joined the social media world just in time to help people live authentically. She strives to destigmatize mental health and teach that at the end of the day, we are all human.

Christie Rocha's and Jennifer Anderson's Ah-Ha Moments“I am constantly reviewing the evidence and reading the research coming out every week. If at any point, I'm wrong, and certainly I have changed my position on things over time, I am more than happy to hear about it. I will acknowledge it, decide I will make a statement if I need to, I will change my position, and I will slowly shift over time.” -Jennifer
“I’ve kind of just erred on not showing the kids until I'm really clear on how I want to show them. And I think that's ultimately what I'm getting from you is whatever you decide to do, just have the clarity and intention behind what you're doing.” -Christie

Today With Kim Young:
Today on The Inner Edit I am joined by Kim Young, Kim Young of Dope Black Social Worker and host of the Revolutionary Hoodrat podcast. Kim is a licensed therapist, a nationally recognized social worker, and an expert troublemaker.
For many years, Kim’s career centered on direct clinical services for youth, families, and communities. But over the last five years, Kim has shifted upstream, moving out of direct service, in order to make an even deeper impact in the field of social work, focusing on programmatic, organizational, and systemic changes.
Kim gets it. She knows who she is and who she wants to help. And she understands how her platforms—in addition to her real-life work—are all a part of that.
In this episode, Kim shares the story of how she ‘accidentally’ grew her amazing online following, how she has (reluctantly at times) accepted her influence, and how she uses humor, authenticity, and creativity to make excellent trouble.
Pick It Apart
[2:45] Kim explains how she began growing a community online—completely by accident
[9:40] Kim shares why she is so grateful for her online community and gives tips on cultivating respectful engagement.
[20:44] Christie and Kim discuss the importance of setting boundaries, especially within online platforms.
[31:38] Kim shares how she has resisted accepting the influence she has because she prefers to work behind the scenes.
[46:55] Kim unpacks why it is important for content creators to continuously ask themselves and understand who they are creating content for and why.
Christie Rocha's and Kim Young's Ah-Ha Moments“I'm not going to just create content just to create things. I'm not going say things just to say things…When I open my mouth and speak, it's real, deliberate, and intentional.” – Kim Young “If you have the platform, even if you're not going to share your own point of view, put the resources out there of the people that do.” – Christie Rocha “I'm a troublemaker and social worker at my core. Even though I'm online, I'm always thinking ‘how do I use what I have and what I have access to to make sure other people come along with me.’” – Kim Young “I'm not going to concern myself with things I have no control over.” – Kim Young “If we're creating content for external validation—because we're not giving ourselves internal validation—you're never going to find whatever you're looking for.” – Kim Young

Today, I’m joined by trauma therapist and coach Chasity Holcomb, creator of Momfully You. Chasity’s content often centers on balancing motherhood and a career or business while breaking generational cycles and healing childhood wounds. Chasity started creating content after a decade of experience as a therapist, using her platform as a place to help even more people. Today, she is here to share her journey into content creation and discuss pivoting to a form of content that feels right to you and showing up as your true self.
Pick It Apart
[4:43] Chasity shares how she grew her platform and what she loves about creating content.
[8:36] Christie and Chasity discuss weighing out the value of helping your audience with your own time and effort put into your content.
[15:48] Chasity reflects on what to do when you feel like you “have to” create instead of doing it because you want to.
[33:25] Chasity shares why she decided to bring her faith into her platform and why being true to yourself matters.
Christie Rocha's and Chasity Holcomb's Ah-Ha Moments
"I do truly believe that even if people don't like a post or comment, they see it, and I have had experiences where total strangers will book something with me or enroll into one of my programs or something. So I don't think we'll ever truly know the impact that we're making.” -Chasity
“Social media is one of those places where it's the burden and the blessing in the same token.” -Chasity
“This thought of ‘even if I just help one person, that’s meaningful’ is true, but this is one of those situations where two things are true at the same time. It’s also a ton of work for potentially one person to be helped. And that is not to say that that one person doesn't deserve it. But it is a lot of work on the one person pointing at you behind the account to keep it going.” -Christie
More About Chasity Holcomb
"I fulfilled my childhood dream of being a Therapist and spent the first decade of my career doing trauma therapy for thousands of people. They all had one thing in common - a deep wound from a parent.
After having my girls, thirteen months apart might I add, I got a God-nudge to start creating content and open a private practice to help moms overcome anxiety. I noticed another pattern - 90% of them had a childhood wound from a parent.
Having gone through my own healing journey from childhood wounds, I absolutely know how hard it is to parent your children while reparenting yourself."
