What do you do when you hate Instagram but... you kinda need it to market your online business? Do you push through even though it feels bad for your mental health? Do you go cold turkey even though it'll hurt your business? Or is there another way to get clients? A way that doesn't involve social media? Until lately, you may have noticed I went quiet on Instagram, only using my Instagram story and not posting to my feed very often. Before this silence, I was doing pretty well on the app! I had reels that were getting 1.5 million views. I gained 800 followers from one post. Then 10,000 in a week. Everything was amazing, right? Except the app felt like information overwhelm. I wasn't following accounts that made me feel good about myself or my business. (Believe it or not, it was the other "slow business" accounts that were making me feel bleh, not the girlboss accounts!) And Instagram just felt bad for my mental health. I complained about the app for a while. Moaned to my sister. I blamed the algorithm, I blamed the creators, I blamed the evolution of the app... Until I realized, it wasn't necessarily Instagram that was the problem. It was my relationship to Instagram, my perspective of Instagram, and the way I was using it.  In this episode I'm sharing: 9 ways you're using Instagram that are the REAL source of your overwhelm.
