I like Facebook, Instagram, and blogs A LOT. I spend a ton of time scanning through feeds to see what other people are doing and saying. Most of the time, however, I have to admit I spend more time wondering about how I can promote my own material rather then enjoying other people's posts.
Even though I wish it weren't true I have this nagging voice inside my head that continually asks why my posts don't get noticed as much as some other people's do. And with my day job as a marketer I am constantly immersed in articles, eBooks, and videos about creating buzz, getting people to share content, and the best tips for social engagement. I probably think about popularity more than anything else during my day, but I don't think I am the only one who struggles with this.
In fact, I think it's a timeless struggle that all people face, especially women. We want to be seen and appreciated, loved and adored. I see it at the mall, in advertisements, on the movie screen. In fact I see it in almost every woman I know. Some show it more than others, but there is an apparent need for every woman to feel important, wanted, beautiful, and unique.
I don't yet have answers on this topic, but I want to be able to start having open conversations with women about their own stories, and the real issues they face everyday. I want to search out and share the hard stuff. I want to go deep, because I truly believe there is both freedom and beauty in finding answers and understanding our souls.
What's your story?
Leave me a comment, send me an email, hit me up on Facebook, let's even grab a cup of coffee... I want to be open and give people a place to be themselves. Let's search our souls together. Let's do life together.
With love,
