How to stop socials sucking the life out of you
Manage episode 505622672 series 3345188
Does social media leaves you feeling drained, second-guessing yourself, or stuck in the endless scroll?
In this episode Mel Daniels covers why socials can feel so heavy right now. Constant algorithm changes, the pressure to be everywhere, the comparison spiral, and the reality that we don’t actually own those platforms. But socials don’t have to run your business. They can simply be one tool in your toolkit.
Mel will walk you through practical ways to take back your time and energy, including how to reframe the role socials play in your business, where to focus instead, and how to make content creation feel sustainable and aligned.
Key Takeaways:
- Why social media feels so difficult right now (and why it’s not your fault).
- How to shift from socials being your “home base” to just one tool in your content ecosystem.
- Simple, sustainable content practices that keep you visible without burning you out.
