• Do you consider yourself brave and confident in real life, but also find yourself nervous and hesitant to be yourself on social media? Let’s chat... I’ve had this conversation a lot lately with educators inside the Creative Educator Academy as they step into leadership and speaking roles in their industry and this is what I tell them: It’s a totally normal feeling to have! I struggled with it too, and I don’t know anyone who hasn’t. ✨But think about the people you love to follow along with here. The people you love to learn from and look up to. Are they playing it safe or are they being themselves?!✨ Stop worrying about vanity metrics and how many people follow you. It took me a long time to stop living on social media in a “safe” way... now I’m trying to remember that if I wouldn’t want that energy around me in real life, I don’t want it around me on social media either!! ✌🏽🖤 📸 // @angelicamariephoto

  • Let me be CLEAR. You know all those cheesy captions you read about having a seat at the table, you can sit with us, all that sweet but sometimes slightly vaguely suspicious stuff you read from online marketers and wannabe leaders? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I want to be clear here, in my tiny corner of the internet. EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE. Every single human. This is not a “rainbow wash” kind of post, it’s just a fact - YOU are welcome here. Period. 🖤🏳️‍🌈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 // @samikathryn from @thenextlevelretreat

  • For me, one of the hardest parts of being an online business owner used to be showing up here. Starting out being my own marketing team, having a personal brand, showing my face and sharing my voice, sharing my story — I never thought I had signed up for that! I just wanted to take great care of my clients-and to stay behind the scenes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But the biggest surprise of my career has been the impact that happens when I show up, fully as myself. With my scars, my shortcomings, with transparency and an open heart. Connecting with other people who are on the same or similar path, creating community, cheering each other on. What a GIFT. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Finding people who I consider kindred spirits. Some of us coming from complete opposite backgrounds but completely aligned in values and goals. It’s been so cool — and that’s my favorite part of this whole “show up and be personal” thing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s the biggest reason I still do this social media thing! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about you? Are you loving social media or still struggling to show up? 📸// @angelicamariephoto

  • Let’s make sure we are setting ourselves up to end 2021 STRONG. Applications for the last group program I’m offering until 2022 close tonight! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t want us to look back at the end of 2021 and think “what just happened to this year? I feel like I was just treading water and I’m still not doing what I want to be doing”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ve got a full six months of working together to make this YOUR YEAR. If you’ve got BIG ideas, goals, dreams that you want to move on but you’re stuck, let’s dive in together and make BIG MOVES. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is my own “secret” to how I move the needle in my business. I invest in myself and I’m open to working with other people to get where I want to go. Because the worst feeling is being stuck treading water year after year, when you just want to move forward! Let’s do this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ DM me and let’s about if this is right for you!

  • I said what I said 🤷🏻‍♀️😘 But really, I get it. I have struggled with confidence a lot of my life and it’s only been in the past few years I’ve been able to work through those mental roadblocks and show up fully as myself — no matter what anyone says or thinks about it. Is it hard? Yes. Am I always successful at silencing the outside opinions? No. I am an Enneagram 2/3 after all 😉 But the freedom that comes with choosing to work on walking a path without worrying about what people think of me? It’s been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself!! Are you ready to let go of holding on to what people think?!

  • I’m SO excited to finally get to share this with you guys!! Showit United has held a special place in my heart since back when I was a full time high school teacher who attended her first business and photography conference years ago! And now to be able to give back to the community that gave me SO much as both a Keynote Speaker and a Breakout Speaker is such an honor and a dream. ⚠️So mark your calendars, because registration opens on May 14th and trust me, you will want to move fast to grab a ticket - they DO sell out, and this year spots are even more limited than usual!⚠️ Will I see you there?!?! @showit @showitunited

  • Here’s a secret about the best leaders/speakers/mentors out there - none of them do it alone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Choosing to dedicate your time and resources to growth is the most important thing you can do, and it's something that takes humility and drive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Every year I choose 1-2 continuing education investments for myself and my business, and it's a top priority for me! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I want to know - what is the best investment you've made for your business growth??
