Babe, I freaking love social media. Facebook and Instagram are my jam. I’m getting into TikTok a bit as well.
But I digress - I enjoy it because I feel connected to people, and it is so phenomenal to have a network of people to talk to.
But sometimes I also use it to get validation from others. When I have a bad day, I look to be uplifted.
Also, when I’m celebrating myself, it is fucking fun to feel cheered on by others too.
There’s nothing wrong in seeking validation through social media.
But my FAVORITE PART? It’s when I am able to also GIVE VALUE to my network.
I have the chance to speak life into their dreams, goals, accomplishments, tasty looking food, bomb brow work, cute ‘fit and all.
Even on my own posts, I often ask my network to shout themselves out, to share something important to them, to contribute to the conversation - I genuinely enjoy getting to know them + giving them a space to shine.
When it comes to our beauty business, we especially need to have awareness about what we hope to get from clicking “post” -
Are we seeking to hype ourselves up and showcase our awesomeness? (GET IT BABE!) - Or are we posting to give value in empathizing needs, solving problems, inviting connection and relationships?
My darling, impressing someone else can make you feel good. And that’s great. But it doesn’t build businesses quickly.
When we cultivate connections, we plant seeds for our business to flourish so much more quickly.

Are you ready for a workshop that will blow your mind on a quick shift to build that connection?
