Breaking Free from Social Media: Rediscovering Confidence and Your Own Path

Have you ever found yourself doing things because you feel you have to rather than because you want to? 

It was the realisation that I was jumping through hoops on social media that caused me to step away from 'creating content' and in this episode of 'An Espresso Shot of Confidence' I explore my decision to step back from social media and the business world's demands. And, I encourage you to do the same to get some distance and figure out what you really want!

During the episode, I reflect on my decision to reduce my social media presence, the challenges of constant online engagement, and the importance of making personal choices over societal expectations.

The episode encourages listeners to create their own path, prioritize offline interactions, and cultivate a fulfilling life by rejecting the 'shoulds' imposed by others.
