Welcome to the first Maven Digital Dashboard episode of 2025! I’m your host, Jesster_Li—social media manager, VTuber content creator, and fellow human navigating the highs and lows of online life.

In this deeply personal episode, we talk about the mental health impact of social media—especially for small business owners, creators, and influencers trying to grow without burning out. With the U.S. TikTok ban deadline approaching, uncertainty is everywhere. I share my own journey of rebuilding after platform shutdowns, the constant pressure to stay visible, and why your peace matters more than any algorithm.

🎙️ We cover:

• Creator anxiety in an uncertain digital age

• Burnout, comparison, and real-life struggles behind the content

• The power of breaks, boundaries, and showing up as human

• Why diversifying platforms matters more than ever

Whether you're doing it all alone or balancing multiple hats, this episode is here to remind you: you’re not a robot. You don’t have to be perfect to be valuable.
