An introvert's journey towards living her best life.
“This is a beautiful thought: we grieve the loss of what we thought life was going to be and give that to God. We grieve one dream, but we gain another.
Psalm 119:68 says, “You are good, and You do what is good; teach me your statutes.”
Disciple Her, Kandi Gallaty
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." - Romans 12:2 (NIV)
While the world may encourage you to follow the crowd, your faith calls for transformation. It's about standing out in a crowd, not by fitting in, but by being who God created you to be.
You are called to be set apart!

Hey there, I'm Sarry Alejandre – a Chemical Engineer turned Social Media Marketer with a bit of a twist in my career path.
Let me share my story..
You might be wondering, "What made you switch from chemical engineering to social media?" Well, it all started when our city went into lockdown.
My mom and I share a love for cooking, and we thought our food was pretty good. So, we decided to dip our toes into the world of online food businesses.
That's when my journey as a social media marketer began. I didn't have any formal training; I just had a lot of determination.
I dived headfirst into promoting our mouthwatering lasagna, heavenly cakes, and irresistible egg pies.
But here's the twist – I was juggling all of this alongside my 9 to 5 government job and working on my master's degree. It was a real balancing act!
It was difficult but I would say that it was one of the most fulfilling moments of my life, and it was how I discovered my love for marketing.
Fast forward to today, and I'm managing and marketing for faith-based brands, entrepreneurs, and coaches.
My mission?
To help businesses like yours shine in the digital world.
I know that navigating the world of social media can feel like a daunting task, I experienced it myself. But fear not!
Whether you’re a Christian coach, author, or ministry leader., together, we'll come up with a strategy that not only matches your values but also captures your audience's hearts and leaves a lasting impression.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your online presence to the next level, I'm here to be your guiding hand on this exciting journey!
Our collaboration isn't just about business; it's about making a positive impact.
So, let's embark on this empowering journey together and create an outstanding online presence.
Here's to crafting a digital legacy that has a lasting impact! ✨
Social media is the new storefront.
Don't let people think you're not operating or worse, they don't know your business cause it doesn't exist on social media!
Change the narrative.
Maximize the resources that God gave you.
Show up online.
There is true joy, fulfillment, and fruitfulness in obedience. 🤍
Has God been calling you to do something?
To focus on that project,
to take a risk you've been worrying about,
to show up more for your business?
In this verse, Mordecai reminded Esther of her purpose.
Esther then chose to do what she needed to do to save her people even risking her own life.
There are people who need to know that your business exists.
They need the solutions you provide.
They will never know if you don't risk something.
Risk making mistakes.
Risk rejection.
Risk failure.
Risk disappointment.
Risk your pride.
But your purpose is bigger than all those things.
God is calling you to obey.
Think of the people you'll be able to help if you choose to obey.
Who's guilty of not maximizing social media?
You?
I am, too. 🙋🏻♀️
Follow me and let's change that in the coming months! ✨
As someone who likes to plan, every new year is like that fancy *slightly overpriced* notebook that is waiting to be filled with my hopes, goals, and dreams.
Because every new year is the perfect time to be hopeful of the things to come.
We write goals as if it’s a checklist, a list of to dos and the year would be a waste if we can’t complete it.
We’ve always done that but is it really the best thing to do? Cause at the end of the year we get frustrated more instead of being grateful.
This year, I hope it would be different for all of us.
Let’s plan for our goals, but I let’s also plan for the in-betweens, the boring stillness that is actually priceless.
Let’s take the pauses when we can evaluate if the goals that we made is really what we need to accomplish or if there are pivots to be made or more important things to focus on now.
Let’s look forward to the time with family and friends and be encouraged by the people whose existence are the reasons why our goals are not just for us in the first place.
Let’s prioritize the daily quiet moments that would remind us that our worth is not defined by the accomplishment of our goals.
Even God, who by just His words created the whole universe, rested on the seventh day, how much more us?
Rest is such a beautiful thing that at the end of this year, I hope that we cultivated our daily rhythm of work and rest.
Let’s achieve more but also not forget to rest more this year. 🤍
Happy New Year ✨

What are the most commonly used ingredients in your kitchen?
I bet it's salt and pepper.
Social media managers and community managers are like the salt and pepper of social media marketing.
Your strategy would be bland without it.
A community manager is a person who directly engages a brand’s online community as themselves. While everything in their profile should make it clear that they are affiliated with the brand, they use their own social media accounts and post as themselves as they engage with other members of your community to help increase your brand’s presence online.
On the other hand, a social media manager is someone who interacts with a brand’s community as the brand. This means they use the brand’s social channels and platforms to engage with the online community.
There is a huge difference between posting for a brand versus as a brand. And yet both of these roles are important in building an online community that has an engaged audience.
You can have the best of best worlds though.
I'm a Community Manager with a Social Media Management background.
Let me help you cook up your Community Strategy.
𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒔𝒂𝒚 ‘𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈’ 𝒊𝒔 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈.
But how do you know when is the right time to work with a 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭 like myself?
Well, let me share something with you…
I’ve discovered a few key patterns that helped successful clients convert their community members into coachees.
One, they are willing to implement the proposed strategies for their business to grow. Because they know that it requires strategy and focused efforts to achieve results.
Two, they trust the process that it will take time to nurture their group members if especially if they are starting without a system and have unclear goals for the group.
And lastly, they are consistent in showing up to engage in their groups. Because they know how showing up will help their members get value and by doing this, more people would want to receive the value that they give!
Definitely a win-win for everyone!
𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍. 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐓. 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐘.
Clients with those traits have the greatest chance of making the most ROI from my service.
So if you're reading this thinking "YES! I have all those!"...
Then you're a perfect fit to work with me.
Send me a message and let's see what we can make happen.
The struggle is real...
As a Community Strategist, I keep things private between me and my clients.
But lately, I've noticed a few similar themes pop up between various Business Coaches..
Here are the top 3 things I see Business Coaches are struggling with right now:
#1 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒈𝒈𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔
Aren't they? It can be overwhelming to get more clients, even with the Facebook group members that you already have.
You want to work with the clients that you're best equipped to help or the ones that can benefit from your coaching.
But your group members won’t want your service unless you prove your authority and nurture them.
This means spending more time marketing yourself and engaging with them at an extraordinary level, but you also need to serve your clients.
#2 𝑨𝒅𝒐𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒆𝒔
When working from home has become more prevalent than ever before, it's the technology that allows business coaches to keep moving.
You must integrate new technology into your offer, products, and platforms to enhance your clients' experience and engagement.
Adopting new technologies opens a new way to reach the global market and it makes you feel more confident.
#3 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎
There are many platforms on the market for your online coaching business, but it's critical to realize that most technologies are designed for specific pain points within specific coaching models.
Whether you're looking for a small coaching platform or complete coaching solutions, it should make your coaching workflow easier without compromising client engagement.
Deciding on the right platform helps you to determine specific technology needs.
Choose that platform that provides everything needed to kick off successfully and without a single worry.
Are you working through one of these challenges right now?
Send me a private message and let's get you over this "hump”.
I heard this quote from Jim Rohn and it holds true to me so I'm thankful for the people that surround me because they all contribute to my growth. ❤️
So choose your company wisely and be part of the right community, your future self will thank you.
Even in the online world, we all want to belong.
This is important to clients and customers alike.
Most of the purchase decisions being made today are due to the sense of trust, loyalty, and support an individual feels toward the person who is the face of the brand or company.
It is further maximized when acceptance and belongingness are experienced within a community.
If you're a Business Coach or a Course Creator, building and managing a community should be one of your priorities.
Because not only will it help you increase your social proof but the people that you gather together will also be able to help and support one another, increasing their success.
In turn, this will help you grow your client's loyalty and satisfaction.

3 Things to keep in mind when forming a Facebook group strategy
1. Focus on providing value
Yes, the objective is to increase Facebook engagement, but your goal should be to provide value first.
When you provide value to your group members, they will feel a sense of belonging and would come back to your community. They might also even share about it with their friends and family, helping it grow.
There’s nothing sweeter than members thanking you for making a difference in their lives.
2. Listen to your Facebook group members
Because that’s where you get the most valuable insights.
Understand what interests your members and what problems they are facing, and formulate your Facebook group content strategy around it.
When members will get solutions to their problems, or they get to participate in discussions that entice them, they’d definitely engage.
3. Consistency is the key
Be consistent in your efforts.
Initially, you will have to start conversations to get members to participate. It’s only after a while that members feel comfortable and start posting in the community.
Always keep these 3 things in mind when you create any plan for your community. Give value, listen and be consistent!

Do you like sharing your problems?
Most people don't.
Inside your community, you need to create a safe space, because the best way to gauge how you can help your members is for them to share their problems with you.
But sharing their problems would require them to be vulnerable.
If you create a culture that displays that vulnerability is a sign of strength, by sharing your own struggles and challenges, then they will follow suit.
So as a community builder, don't hesitate to be vulnerable, it's one of the ways you can help your members.

👀 Lurkers
All communities have lurkers. They are those who are curious but not engaged. They should be able to see some of the activity between members, so they can understand if this is the right place for them.
You don’t always have to push lurkers to engage. Sometimes lurking is exactly where these members should be, until they see the right kind of engagement and activity for them.
👋 New members
New members are learning the group culture and should get extra care and support from the community builders and the leaders in your community. You may need to nurture these members before they'll start participating in the group.
💬 Engaged members
Once a member feels comfortable, they'll start engaging. This beginning engagement might look like RSVPing to events, reacting, and/or commenting on posts.
This member is starting to feel comfortable with the group, and looking for signals that they belong. If these members are inspired, motivated, and feel accepted, they'll start to contribute to the community's mission or purpose.
🛠️ Contributors
The members who start conversations, share resources, collaborate with other members and help out new members are called contributors. They'll keep the heart of your community beating!
Be sure to continually recognize and reward these members and, on occasion, show them the path to leadership.
👷 Leaders
Once an engaged member steps up to help other members in a structured way, we'll call them leaders. Communities cannot scale in size, or more importantly impact, without members stepping into leadership roles. Sometimes a leader will show up as a moderator, an expert, or a coach.
Some groups have a healthy balance of members in these different stages while others mainly have lurkers and new members.
Do you have a favorite community?
At what member stage are you in that group?
Why did you start engaging?
Let me know in the comments.
Monday Reminder:
There will be days na mpapakanta ka nlang ng "nobody said it was easy" kasi you're dragging yourself to do what you're supposed to do.
There will be days when you're super motivated and days when you just want to curl up in bed and stare at your ceiling.
But you've got dreams to follow and purpose to fulfill, kaya persevere, and don't forget to enjoy your journey.
Wherever you're headed make it a good one.
Fighting!
I never liked looking at myself and I don't even like the sound of my voice. So saying yes to this podcast interview was a step out of my comfort zone and I realized na it's not bad.
I enjoyed it even because I was conversing with a fellow multipassionate individual who I met inside Passionate Creators Community.
First podcast interview on the Creative Incubator podcast.

Does your business have a community?
Overwhelmingly, companies are buying into community building.
According to the 2021 CMX Community Industry Report, 85% agree that an online community has had a positive impact on their business objectives in the past year.
If you don't have a community yet, read on to know how you can use it to help your business build strong relationships with your clients.
There are 3 main types of online communities and each has a unique purpose:
1. Discussion Communities
Discussion communities are a place where people share experiences and thoughts on a specific interest.
For example, the popular TV show The Office still has several strong online discussion communities even though the show ended in 2013.
Discussion communities are a great way to increase engagement with your target audience.
2. Support Communities
Support communities are a resource for people in need of help. People usually seek out these communities to find information and get advice from other enthusiasts or people with more experience.
3. Action Communities
Action communities typically strive to create change in the world by spreading awareness on a range of issues and encouraging users to work together in pursuit of a common goal.
Regardless of industry and business size, online communities can help you connect with your audience.
Discussion groups drive engagement, support groups provide care, and action groups foster advocacy.
Consider what type of community would be most beneficial to your audience, or if you should incorporate all three into your digital strategy.

Almost 5 months since my last post!
You might ask, ba't ka ngstop?
Well, TBH, di ko alam ano isshare ko with this page.
Andami kong trip sa buhay eh.
Andami kong interes and sobrang hirap pumili.
Yung feeling din na baka wala akong mshare na makabuluhan, wala akong masasabing bago na mkakatulong sa magbabasa ng posts ko.
Halos limang buwan ang dumaan, limang buwan na pagooverthink, pagiging unclear sa sarili ko, what I really want to offer, what I want to share, before I accepted defeat.
Defeat to perfection, defeat to indecision, defeat to significance.
And with coming to terms na baka nga wala akong maishare na bago, or kaalaman kung san magaling ako, or words of wisdom na makakatulong sa inyo but I have something to share which no one else can, my own journey.
So instead of choosing just one subject, instead of wasting the thoughts inside my head, this page will be an avenue for me to share my multiple interests, what I do as a Community Manager, Social Media Marketer, Foodie, Audiophile, Learner, Introvert, etc.
I hope you join me on this journey.
