Listen "i’m a failure at social media?"
Episode Synopsis
Radical honesty from a professional communicatorIn this episode of Grounding Visions, I share reflections from working with social media as a communications professional to support you if you are feeling discouraged by how you perceive your “social media success” (or lack thereof). I offer how, as an early enthusiast of Instagram, my resulting journey with the platform has often generated feelings of insecurity and low-self worth—and why this experience is so common, troubling and not an actual reflection of one’s value. This vulnerable share around my own insecurity—especially as someone who has worked in the field professionally for over two decades—is for you if you struggle with the same. I offer reframes and knowledge to help ground you into your intentions and purpose with working with platforms like Instagram—because your work IS medicine the world needs now, and you should not be discouraged from sharing it because of the ultimate profit motives of those who benefit off of all the attention, time, energy and resources you put into these platforms!This share originally appeared as an essay in my Double Gemini substack newsletter.
