Why I Quit Social Media (Personally & Professionally) As a Former Social Media Manager and Life Coach This is not to guilt you to quitting social media. This is not to present myself as better than anyone else. This is my own personal experience: What a social media manager does Other uses I had for social media What I found it did to my brain How I took small steps towards truly quitting it What positive results were shown to me after doing this Enjoy this listen, take what you need & find encouraging and leave what you don't.

[8] Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Episode 145: Basics of confidence for the everyday woman COMMITTED to making her life better one small step at a time
Today, we're discussing the basics of confidence for the everyday woman who is committed to improving her life one small step at a time. These are the first steps you can take to massively grow your confidence. These tips work regardless of external circumstances. Become confident in the worst of times and see how filled with encouragement and peace you are in the best of times. I learned these during prolonged illness, financial difficulty, everyday stress, etc. If these can be learned AND WORK during times like that then I assure you these will help you. I'm so blessed to have the opportunity to encourage others so thank you for listening, leaving a review, and sharing this episode. I'm so grateful for you! -Anna "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." - 1 Thessalonians 5:11
