LOL 😂 okay but seriously let’s talk about the realities of being a full-service social media manager.
Here’s the real tea 🫖 on why I decided to step away from posting/scheduling and managing my client’s pages:
Managing social media for 5-10 businesses became a hamster wheel of post after post after post. 🐹🔄
Knowing that I had all of these accounts to check on multiple times throughout the day took up SO much headspace on its own. We’re talking Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google Business, YouTube, and more - for EACH client !!!
It was exhausting my creative energy.🥵 At the end of the day, I had no creative juices left to pour into my own business and social media in order to continue to connect with business owners online.
As a solopreneur, I knew it would be very difficult for me to scale without burnout.🔥
At this point in my journey, I knew I didn’t want to start my own agency or hire any employees. I enjoy working by myself and the freedom that it gives me. That doesn’t mean that I won’t change my mind in the future and have a full-fledged team. But for now, this choice feels right.
NOW I have more creativity to devote to my client work - and they are seeing better results because of it. 💪
I’m back to having fun on my own social media profiles and my engagement has been higher than ever. 🙌
I get to focus on what I do best which is strategic design and art direction! 👩🎨
I didn’t lose all the magical social media wisdom I shared with my full-service social media management clients. I’m just using those talents in different (and more aligned) ways! 🤩

Work/Life balance can be so difficult to master, especially as a single parent, but I like to think that I’m slowly getting there.
Most days I try to get all of my work done during school hours so that when my son is ready to be picked up for the day I can shift gears to “Mom-Mode” and be fully present with him in the evenings.
This is NOT something I did when I first started my entrepreneurial journey.🫣
I used to think working all hours of the night was what I needed to do to prove that I could support my family. 😵💫
Now I like to be in bed by 9:30 or 10pm with a good book. Knowing that by getting a good nights rest I will be fully rejuvenated and ready to tackle my to-do list the next morning. And I find that I’m much more productive this way!

I’d love to hear what your work/life balance is like? It’s okay if it’s not where you want it to be yet! We’re all on our own journeys and I’m sending you so much love no matter what you say!🫶
It’s okay to not know what you’re doing 100% of the time as long as you are willing to grow and evolve in the process of figuring it out😌 #catmom #singlemoms #branddesigner #socialmediadesigner #personalbrand #evolveyourmindset #womanevolve #womeninbusiness #dayinthelife

As your social media manager, it’s my job to push you out of your comfort zone a little bit…
But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to turn you into a dancing fool on TikTok🤪 or FORCE you to do anything you don’t want to do!
However, having an expert on your team who..
- understands how to interpret analytics
- can offer valuable feedback when you’re feeling unsure
- encourages you to step into an authentic and aligned higher version of yourself
…Can completely change the game.
My social media management packages are unique in that I’m not JUST making graphics and posting them; I’m actually diving deep with you and talking through some of the areas you feel resistance so that you can attract the clients of your dreams.
If you want to learn how to sell AUTHENTICALLY, you’re going to need to tap into the innermost parts of yourself. And you’re going to need someone with an outside perspective who can tap in and help you get there.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Co-creation can DRIVE self-motivation and without it, your content can become stale and your passion can burn out.
If you’re feeling stagnant let’s connect! DM me✨

The solution to your problem is to take a look at the co-creative experience you are tapping into (or lack there of).
Understand that we NEED co-creation as humans. We are not wired to create HUGE success alone. We CAN create success alone, but we can only stretch so far with our own, thoughts and programming.
We need to outsource and invest in order to scale; especially the tasks where we feel blocked or the ones we don’t necessarily enjoy doing. I don’t mean following an exact written out sales plan PDF you downloaded from somebody’s Stan store. I mean actually collaborating with an expert in the areas that you are struggling. This creates so much conscious and subconscious space to EXPAND.
I know first hand that this can be a scary concept because I’ve invested in co-creation myself. Not for social media yet (although I fully believe social media managers can hire their own SMMs) but for mindset and business coaching. Even though I have years of marketing experience, and I know what works and what doesn’t, I’m still working through my own personal blocks around social media right now as well!
But listen… I know it sounds easier and cheaper to do it ourselves, skip the inner work, and just duplicate what someone else has built... but, if you desire consistency, abundance, cohesion, and masterfully crafted pieces of artwork all over your feed… if you want to learn how to sell AUTHENTICALLY, you’re going to need to tap into the innermost parts of yourself. And you’re going to need someone with an outside perspective who can dive deep with you to help you get there.
Co-creation can DRIVE self-motivation and without it your content can become stale and your passion can burn out.
If you’re feeling stagnant and you’re missing the fresh strategy spark, then co-creation is for you. Let’s connect 💌

I am sooo blessed to work with incredible women every day!! Thank you Sam for your kind words! I love co-creating with badass CEOs!❤️🔥 #socialmediamanager #clienttestimonial #socialmediamarketing #contentcreationspecialist #contentcreator
This transformative concept could redefine your approach to success:
Embodying your highest self means shedding societal expectations, consciously choosing the energy you want to experience, and allowing your genuine essence to shine through.🪩
How do we do this?
- By cultivating a deep sense of self-love. Appreciating your strengths, acknowledging your growth, and embracing self-compassion for your downfalls
- Then break free from self-imposed boundaries and step into a realm of limitless possibilities where YOU chose how you want to show up
Each decision then becomes an opportunity. Empower yourself by choosing paths that resonate with your authentic vision even if you don’t feel quite ready yet.💪
I’ve had clients that were terrified of losing control of their accounts before choosing to working with me. I never pushed them, they made the decision on their own. Because they knew they were faced with a choice:
Stay scared and stay stagnant OR accept the help they deserve, release some of the control, and step forward into their vision for the future of their business and embody their highest self.
And here’s the magic that happened when they did this… By entrusting a social media manager with their accounts, they not only freed up valuable time but unlocked a cascade of creativity and wisdom from within that they never knew existed! 🤯
We often underestimate the power of space in our professional lives. When you free yourself from the day-to-day hustle, you make room for your vision to unfold. It’s not just about delegating tasks; it’s about creating room for your innate wisdom to thrive. It’s giving your business the breathing room it needs to evolve.
But here’s the thing… I’m not here to convince you to outsource. I’m here to remind you that leveling up in your business starts with embody your highest self. And she will tell you what to do next.✨🦋

When my six year old asks me to play “the song from our trip to Mammoth Cave National Park” I know exactly what he is talking about.
And I can’t say I’m surprised that he associates the songs with the memories so distinctly. I, myself, was raised by two music educators, and spent my high school years practically living in the band and choir rooms. Music practically runs in our blood.
When it comes to running a business, the personal connection means nothing compared to the emotional experience we hope to elicit from our clients.
Music is powerful tool that I believe gets looked over far too often on social media. Use it wisely.

Tbh my amazon subscribe and save boxes are typically 10x bigger than this one that arrived on my doorstep today.🤪
And that’s because I believe in the power of automation📦😂 If it’s something that I purchase on a regular basis, why not save time and automate the purchase.
If you’re logging on to instagram every week, wondering what on earth you’re going to post about, it’s time to start automating.
I’m talking systems babyyyyy
When I bring you on as my full service social media client, together we implement my proven systems for creating high-performing, cohesive, content on a consistent basis so that you can stop scrambling to post something at the last minute.
Just like you were scrambling to buy more toilet paper last month when you got down to the last roll before you found out about subscribe and save. Or was that just me?🤔🤣 I swear this is not an ad LOL.

We all know the comfort zone well – that cozy little bubble where we feel safe, secure, and in control. But what happens when we step out of it? 🤔 It wasn’t until I stepped completely out of my comfort zone that I discovered my love for off-roading on my recent adventures in Arizona. Growing up surrounded by corn fields, night rides in the desert was not exactly something I was familiar with. 🥴 I climbed into that vehicle for the first time with my eyes wide and my hands shaking. I might be smiling in this video but don’t be fooled🤣 To be honest I had no idea what to expect. Talk about the exhilaration of a new adventure, right? It's that thrilling mix of nerves and excitement that keeps you on your toes, hungry for more!🤪And that's precisely what outsourcing can feel like. The mere thought of handing over the reins of your social media can feel both scary and exciting. It's scary because it involves relinquishing control and trusting someone else with your brand's voice. It's exciting because it means freeing up your time and energy for other important tasks. Just like any other leap into the unknown, outsourcing to a social media manager can be incredibly rewarding. Remember, stepping out of your comfort zone can be a bit nerve-wracking, but it's often where the magic happens. Ready to make magic?

One of our most important-and most underrated-roles as business owners is managing our energy.😮💨 Here’a 6 boundaries I set that I believe have made me a better business owner: 1️⃣ I work on specific days from x to x time, ensuring I maintain a healthy work-life balance while delivering the best results for my clients. This is a boundary for myself as much as it is for my clients and helps me not feel guilty for not working when I “should” be. 2️⃣ To manage my time efficiently, I check my inbox once per day. If I didn’t, I’d probably spend all day writing responses. Rest assured, I’ll get back to you within 24 hours, providing dedicated attention to your inquiries. 3️⃣ Scope creep is so common, and it often happens so slowly that you don’t realise it until after you’ve poured loads of extra time into it. It’s essential to define the scope of our collaboration. If a request falls outside the agreed-upon work, I may kindly let you know that it’s beyond our current arrangement. 4️⃣ While I want to give as much support as I can, not all packages offer weekly text, voxer, or email support. If the package you’ve chosen doesn’t include ongoing support I am more than willing to discuss additional options tailored to your needs. 5️⃣ In cases of urgent work requiring immediate attention, a rush fee will be applied. This ensures I can prioritize urgent tasks while maintaining a fair balance for all clients. 6️⃣ This is a boundary that I set for myself. I will no longer waste my time doing tasks that I hate or waste my time. My focus is now on delivering excellence in the areas I specialize in.
