🙋♀️ CONFESSION OF A SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER:
Do I always have my s**t together with my own socials? NOPE. And I'm not afraid to admit it.
After all, I'm human first, social media strategist second. Life happens. Family needs happen. Client deadlines loom. And when I have to prioritise client work over my own content calendar - I absolutely will, every single time.
Some weeks I'm all strategy, planning content sessions and scheduling posts like the professional I am. Other weeks? It's pure "go with the flow and what feels good" energy, posting when inspiration hits or when I finally come up for air between client projects.
It's giving "chef who orders UberEats after a long shift". My client feeds are gourmet meals while I'm over here with social media instant noodles at times. That's not failure - it's just real life behind the highlight reel.
And honestly? This lived experience makes me better at what I do. I understand the struggle because I'm in it too sometimes. I know what it's like to feel the pressure of consistency while juggling a million other priorities.
So if you're beating yourself up about your inconsistent posting... know that even the pros have their moments. We're all just doing our best with the time and energy we have.
