EPISODE 120 - Some Instagram drama (the cost of authenticity)

Dealing with criticism and negativity on social media

The fear of seeming ungrateful or demanding or any of the million things that women are shamed for being… that’s what stops so many of us from actually going out and sharing our gifts with the world.” - Shinah

I posted this (kinda salty) Instagram Reel back in May… and boy did people have feelings about it.

Everyone says they want more “authenticity” on social media.

But what happens when you show up as your imperfect, un-polished self on social media… and people don’t like it?

This is a SUPER IMPORTANT episode for anyone who wants to show up more, but you’re terrified of what people might say.

I share:

  • Why this Reel might have been triggering (Was I really an ungrateful, braggy b*tch?)

  • Why I posted it anyway, even though I knew it might be controversial

  • The crucial lessons for any business owner wanting to show up more unfiltered on social media

You know what makes social media hard? Pretending to be someone you’re not. I hope this episode inspires you to do less of that, and more of being your brave, true self.
