If you hate social media, read this.

This email is written as a courtesy, to all of you who have a troublesome relationship with social media. I'm sending this because the vast majority of the artists I work with HATE social media and yet feel they are forced to use it. That is a recipe for disaster.

Two truths:

1- You do not have to use social media. You really don't. You don't!! You only have to use it if you want to benefit from it.

2- Most of us want to benefit from it.

If you want to benefit from it, but you actually hate using it, you need to change your relationship with it. This is where things fall apart, because it's difficult to change relationship with something that is designed to be addictive. It's all too easy to forget- WE get to choose.

So my challenge to you is to either decide to stop using it and get comfy in that reality, or take clear action to change your relationship with it. Either way, carrying on being tormented by a platform is clearly not working. I am writing this email because of the many, many messages I get where this single relationship is fucking everything else up:

That's a small example of what I hear pretty often. It breaks my heart because it is completely unnecessary source of turmoil for creatives who are already fighting a hard fight. If you're going to use this thing that you interact with on a daily basis, reclaim your relationship with it.

I actually love instagram, and my feed and my DM's are totally full of loving, wonderful people. To me, it is a source of true friendship, connection, and solidarity, even with all the noise (that I know how to ignore).

I have a secret weapon, and it's this woman right here:

​

Her Instagram Intensive is the best, most thorough way I know to change your relationship with social media.

It's Instagram specific but it can change your perspective Internet-wide. Her messaging centers people in the health and fitness industry, but I would literally recommend it to anyone who wants to use Instagram. I give it a 10/10, it is the only Instagram course you will ever need. I truly believe this, because I've walked that walk.

This is the LAST TIME she is ever going to run this program. The time is nigh! Grab an oar! Etc.!

I recommend it with my whole chest. Yes, that's an affiliate link, and I'm damn proud of it. I used to loathe the social media aspect of my business, and now I absolutely love it. Now it's about connection, talking to people I like and find interesting, and I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. Maestro gave me that. This course is no-nonsense, action-oriented, and real to the bone. It's 6 weeks of group coaching radness, everything you need is in that link. ​

This is a courtesy call- there is one more opportunity to benefit from it before it gets shelved. Enrollment closes on Friday. Whatever you do, I hope you will take your power back from wherever it is leaking.

Here's to not leaking!!

Don't go back to sleep
