Ep 06: How To Create A Healthy Relationship with Social Media
Listen on…
Have you found that your relationship with social media has changed since COVID? As a fitness instructor, social media is a necessary tool for building your profile, now more than ever. Its benefits can be hugely positive, but it can also quickly have a negative or even toxic impact on your life. In today’s episode, I’m interviewing my good friend Danielle Natoni, former Format Expert for INSANITY LIVE and a person I have often looked to for inspiration when thinking about social media. In this episode, Danielle talks frankly about the reframing of her relationship with social media since COVID, and how to find the right balance between building your business and sharing with your community, and taking care of yourself in an environment that has its downsides.
There are some great takeaways in this episode to help you to formulate the best way to approach building your brand with confidence and in a way that brings you joy and allows you to share that with the world.
