142: Overcoming Social Media Anxiety: How to Show Up and Grow Your Business

More Than Social Podcast

Are your palms sweaty? Knees weak. Arms are heavy. There's vomit on your sweater already—mom's spaghetti. Okay, I’m not a rapper, but if you got that, I totally get you! If you’re not following along with my Eminem reference, let’s get down to the real question: Do you have social media anxiety when showing up for your business? Most people do. What do I actually post online? I don’t want to show my face; that’s awkward. What if people make fun of me? What if no one actually pays attention to what I have to say? If you’ve ever had these thoughts, let’s dive into overcoming this anxiety together. Social media feels easy for personal use—no pressure, no stress.
