57. Redefining Your Energetic Relationship with Social Media
What if your burnout wasn’t just about how much time you spend on Instagram—but why you’re on there in the first place?
In this deeply honest solo episode, Samantha unpacks her evolving relationship with Instagram and the energy that drives how (and if) she shows up. From being an early adopter in the photo-sharing era to building a personal brand as a business owner, Samantha shares the very real tensions—comparison, consumption, perfectionism—that can cloud our experience of social media. This one’s part confessional, part strategy session, and part permission slip to create your own rules.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or just plain over it, you’ll walk away with ideas to make social media feel more human again.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
Why social media feels harder now than it used to—and what changed
How to spot (and stop) content that’s influencing your desires
The questions Samantha’s asking to recalibrate her own strategy
Why separating creating from consuming is key
How to define your own ROI—and release what’s not working
Why “fun” might be the most strategic thing you can post
Key Takeaway
You don’t need to show up everywhere, and you definitely don’t need to show up perfectly. But if you do decide to be on social—make it your own. Let it be fun, flexible, and rooted in real connection. Marketing from presence, not pressure, always wins.
