EP 74: How to Make Social Media Feel Less Crappy and Time-Consuming
Join me on this episode if you're done with social media feeling like an annoying burden that you can't escape from! Here’s the truth: Being negative, and endlessly moaning about social media is affecting your results from social media. It's also probably affecting how often you show up and the quality of your content, which yes, is affecting your results AKA not making you as much money as it could. So dive into this episode with me, and let's get you fired up and loving all things social media and content creation!

If you’d love some coaching to help you work less and earn more (my speciality) and finally have some clarity on where your precious energy needs to be in your business, then get your beautiful self booked in right here (did I mention they’re completely free??)...
Ok, let’s dive in!...
If you've ever felt overwhelmed, frustrated, or just plain exhausted by the thought of posting on Instagram or Facebook, this one's for you!
As a mama business coach who's been in the game since 2008, I've seen the evolution of social media in business. I get it - it can feel like a never-ending task on your to-do list. But what if I told you it doesn't have to be that way? In this episode, we dive deep into how you can shift your mindset and actually start enjoying (yes, enjoying!) social media as a powerful tool for your business.
The Mindset Shift: From Burden to Opportunity
One of the most powerful quotes from the episode is:
"Your words build the house that you live in."
This isn't just about positive thinking - it's about recognising that every time you say "I hate social media" or "I'm rubbish at posting", you're reinforcing those beliefs. As a business coach for female entrepreneurs, I've seen how this negative self-talk can hold you back from reaching your full potential.
So, how do we flip the script? It starts with conscious awareness. Catch yourself when you're thinking or speaking negatively about social media. Then, actively replace those thoughts with empowering ones like "I'm learning to love social media" or "I'm getting better at creating engaging content every day."
Practical Tips for Social Media Success
Reframe Your Perspective: Instead of seeing social media as a chore, view it as a free platform to reach your ideal clients. Imagine the possibilities!
Celebrate Small Wins: Did your post get 10 likes? That's 10 real people who connected with your message. Focus on the impact, not just the numbers.
Be Authentically You: Your audience wants to see the real you - messy house, bad hair days, and all. Perfection is overrated, and authenticity is what truly connects.
Learn and Adapt: Use insights from your posts to understand what resonates with your audience. It's all part of the journey of growing your business.
Create Systems: Implement strategies to make content creation more efficient. (I'll link to a fantastic social media organisation bundle in the show notes!)
Key Takeaways:
Your mindset about social media directly impacts your success with it
Authenticity trumps perfection every time
Consistent, imperfect action beats sporadic perfection
Social media is a learnable skill - give yourself grace as you improve
Your unique voice and experience are exactly what your audience needs
My Approach to Coaching Mums in Business
As a virtual business coach, I've helped countless women transform their relationship with social media. One of my clients, a life coach for mums, went from dreading Instagram to consistently booking clients through her engaging stories and reels. Another, a product-based business owner, saw her sales skyrocket when she started showcasing her behind-the-scenes process on TikTok.
The key? We worked on both mindset and strategy. We tackled those limiting beliefs head-on while also creating a sustainable content plan that fits into her busy life as a mum.
Imagine Your Future Social Media Success
Close your eyes for a moment and picture this: It's six months from now. You wake up to notifications of new followers, comments, and even a direct message from someone interested in working with you. You smile, knowing that your latest post resonated with your audience. As you sip your morning coffee, you effortlessly jot down ideas for your next reel. Social media no longer feels like a chore - it's an exciting way to connect with your community and grow your business.
This isn't just a dream - it's entirely possible with the right mindset and strategies.
