Listen "Social Imposters"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever come across a post on social media that sounded too good to be true? I’ve been seeing more and more content that appears genuine and inspirational on the surface but is built on half-truths, recycled stories, and carefully crafted pomp and circumstance. This conversation is about the fake and disingenuous posts we see on social media from coaches, creators, and business service providers. I'm sharing red and yellow flags to watch out for, how to trust your gut while scrolling, and why some of that highlight-reel storytelling is doing more harm than good. I’m not here to police anybody’s hustle, but if you’re out here selling people something you haven’t lived or proven, it’s time to stop. Episode Gems: "They (creators) are selling you a lifestyle they don’t even live.""Not everything that sparkles on social media is gold. Sometimes it's just glitter and lies.""If it smells fishy, it probably is. Trust your gut."In this Episode:02:00 Why I felt compelled to address the growing presence of disingenuous content.05:00 How the pursuit of attention is driving people to present curated versions of success rather than the truth.10:00 The common red flags I’ve observed across social platforms, especially when messages feel misaligned or inconsistent.15:00 Reflecting on a personal experience with a coach whose lack of follow-through revealed deeper issues around integrity.24:00 How I use the “gut test” to evaluate what I consume online and why trusting your intuition matters more than ever.Connect with ME!If you’re ready for deeper conversations or you want to close the gap from where you are to where you want to be, visit sharonapatrice.com.Download your free LITM Podcast Sheet to capture gems and answer questions from the episode.
