If social media feels fake, draining, or like you’re constantly performing… you’re not alone.
In this episode, we’re talking about the emotional reality of showing up online in a world that rewards curation over connection. I’m unpacking how I went from posting for validation to sharing from a place of purpose, and why it changed everything.
We’ll explore:
• What it actually means to show up authentically
• The fear of being seen (especially by people from your past)
• How to stop over-curating & start sharing with meaning
• How to use social media to build real connections, not just follower counts
This one’s for the girlies rethinking the way they engage online, and craving something realer.
DM “READY” if you’re done performing & ready to share your truth.
