From Self-Promotion to Genuine Connection: Navigating Social Media with Intention
In this podcast episode, I talk about the importance of sharing value in Facebook groups and social media platforms. I shed light on the problem with those who only show up to promote their products or services without providing any value to the group members. Intention is everything when it comes to sharing content on social media.
I hope to encourage you to focus on providing value and building genuine relationships. Though it can be a new skill to learn at first, I want to highlight the significance of sharing content that can benefit others, even if it doesn't result in immediate sales. I also recommend you check out my previous podcast, episode #35 on mastering the art of sharing value for more insights.

In this final episode of 2025, I take time to reflect and invite you to do the same. I talk about why setting goals still matters, even when we don’t hit them. A lot of us avoid goals because we’re tired of feeling disappointed, but real growth starts with honesty. I share a personal story about aiming for six figures in speaking and not reaching it, yet learning so much in the process. Progress doesn’t always look like success on paper, and that’s okay.

In this episode, I talk about the “nice list” and the “naughty list” in business, and it’s not really about Santa. It’s about how we treat our business and ourselves. As the year wraps up, I encourage a guilt-free self-check and a look ahead to 2026. Being on the nice list means making choices that support growth and long-term success. Being on the naughty list means habits that quietly hold us back.
