Social Media is Fake Trend: Your Worth is Not Determined by Business Metrics

Send us Fan Mail On trend: Social Media is Fake posts reaction. This episode explores the current social media trend of “truth dumps,” where individuals — including coaches, entrepreneurs, and business professionals — share their personal or professional struggles openly with their audience. We chat about the importance of breaking down the facade of perfection often portrayed on social media and the impact of external validation on an individual's sense of worthiness. It can be a challenge to set realistic expectations for oneself, and the impact of contingent self-worth on your actions and self-esteem. Find Us OnlineThe Her First Collective: A community of female online business owners, coaches, and creators to grow both personally and professionally.  Join here: www.facebook.com/groups/herfirstcollective/ As a founding member of this community, you'll have an opportunity to get support and feedback from Joanna and me as well as access our podcast guests.
