Today's episode is a chattier Q&A where I cover all of your questions that you sent my way via Instagram - there's nothing off the table, and we're covering everything from photography, to depression, to parenthood, to veganism, and every little wondering in between.

Okaaaay, so, when’s the last time that you’ve been ghosted by potential clients? I’m guessing that it’s not too far off in your distant memory….today even? Yesterday? Or even earlier this week?

Being ghosted by potential clients has got to be up there with one of those disheartening feelings that you experience when it comes to being a business owner; especially when you really have put all that you believe, and everything that you are into what you have to offer.

But how can we learn to rise above getting ghosted on the regular? And more importantly, how can we get up again, dust ourselves of, and move forward in the face of potential-client rejection?

Some of the biggest new-parenting blows came from the thought that I couldn’t believe that nobody (at least not in my direct life or circle) had ever shared what having your first baby can actually feel and be like. Nowhere on social media was I seeing these seemingly “dark side” of being a brand new parent that was showing up in my own life.

I promised myself--once I was feeling more like myself months and months down the road--that I would do anything in my power to lessen those feelings of complete isolation, and that I would use whatever platform that I could simply to share my own story and voice so that if nothing else, we could all feel a little less alone.

How are you feeling about your Instagram account these days? Or rather, how are you feeling about posting on Instagram these days? Are you pumped at the opportunity to connect and share, or feeling totally weighed down by this non-existent obligation to show up in a social media world?

Wherever you’re falling on the spectrum today, I want to help make your social media life just a little bit better, right here, right now.

This podcast is for those of us who riot through our quiet,

Those of us who use what we’ve always felt as a disadvantage to actually infuse more of our true selves into all that we do,

Those of us who show up,

Stay in our own lane,

And hold fast to the truth that we don’t need to change ourselves in order to make a difference in our lives and businesses.

Through the Listening, I ache to prove that there is a space for you to show up, as the big wonderful quiet mess that you are, and that you don’t need to alter what you have to offer in order to make a difference in all that you do.
