Hello Reader,

Stop Faking It

Have you ever felt the pressure to show up a certain way online? Maybe you’ve found yourself creating the perfect post or second-guessing whether your content is “good enough.” If so, you’re not alone.

But I need to tell you something... nobody likes perfection, people crave realness.

Social Media is hyper-filtered lately and people talk about things like having a curated-authentic feed (hello BS), but really one of the most impactful things you can do on social media is be yourself.

Be More You

The more you share your true personality, your journey, and even your challenges, the more meaningful connections you’ll create. And that’s what ultimately leads to stronger relationships, trust, and shared values. Those are all things we need to land sales... hmmmm!

Here’s How You Can Start Being More “You” on Social Media:

1. Know Your Core Values: What do you stand for? What drives you? Understanding this will help guide your content and make it easier to stay consistent with your messaging.
2. Share Your Process: It’s not just about the end result—people want to see what goes on behind the scenes. Whether it’s a project in progress, a peek at your workspace, or the shit that is getting in the way SHARE IT!
3. Tell Personal Stories: Don’t be afraid to open up. Whether it’s a success, a setback, or a lesson learned, your story has the power to inspire and connect with others.
4. Use Your Own Voice: You don’t need to sound polished to be taken seriously. Write your posts the way you’d talk to a friend, and your audience will feel more connected to you.
5. Show Up Consistently: It’s easy to feel like every post needs to be perfect, but people appreciate consistency more than perfection. Just keep showing up as you are.
6. Embrace Video & Stories: Nothing feels more real than video content. Whether you’re going live or sharing quick snippets in your stories, videos allow your audience to experience your energy and personality in real time.
7. Respect Your Boundaries: Being yourself online doesn’t mean you have to share everything. Let me repeat that... Being YOURSELF ONLINE DOES NOT EQUAL SHARING EVERYTHING! Share those things you are comfortable sharing and don't share the other things

🎯 Why This Matters:

When you show up as yourself, you stand out in a crowded space. People are drawn to realness, and they connect with what is relatable. By being true to who you are, you’ll attract the right people, build stronger relationships, and create content that feels sustainable and rewarding.

🔗 Ready to Start?

Take a moment today to post something that feels true to you—whether it’s a behind-the-scenes snapshot, a personal reflection, or a story that’s close to your heart. I guarantee you’ll be surprised at how people respond when you show up in a way that feels real.

Keep Creating,
