Ever cringe when a brand hops on a trend that's so last month? We’re calling it out and explaining how a late jump can weaken your strategy. We’ll also spill the tea on why solely promoting your products isn’t a strategy - it’s just talking about yourself. And let’s not forget about Instagram stories: they’re the unsung heroes of engagement and impressions, and we’re here to tell you why they matter more than those feed posts. Plus, we’ll bust the myth that you need to be on every social platform and help you focus on where you truly shine.
On a personal front, we’re sharing our sassiest takes on the everyday annoyances of social media. Concert and fireworks posts? We’ve had enough! TikTok’s elusive 'Part 2' videos? Girl, bye! We’ll also gush about how the Instagram explore page is way more exciting than your regular feed (no offense, friends!). And can we talk about how peaceful Pinterest is? It's a drama-free zone where we can actually learn something new. Join us for a fun-filled chat that’s as insightful as it is entertaining, perfect for anyone looking to level up their social media game!
In this episode, we’re gearing up our corporate girlies with the ultimate pep talk before their big interviews! Whether you're stepping into a boardroom or hopping on a Zoom call, we've got the motivation you need to shine. Remember, you are powerful, capable, and deserving of every opportunity. You’ve put in the work, honed your skills, and now it’s your time to impress. Walk in with confidence, own your achievements, and let your passion speak volumes. Tune in for an empowering boost and expert tips to help you ace that interview and land your dream role!
