#003 | Losing My Instagram Account – What Happened and What I Learned
Hey, besties! In this episode, we’re switching things up as I (Gillean) interview Kristen about something every entrepreneur dreads—losing her Instagram account! Kristen shares her story of what happened when her handle was suddenly disabled, how she dealt with it, and what she’s learned from the whole experience. We get real about the highs and lows of social media and how it affected both her business and mental health.
In this episode, we chat about:
- The day Kristen’s Instagram account was disabled and what might have caused it.
- How we navigated the challenges with brand partnerships while her account was down.
- Why we believe it’s important not to rely on just one platform for your business.
- How Kristen found more balance by stepping back from Instagram.
- The boundaries we’ve both set around social media to protect our mental health.
Takeaways:
- Diversifying your revenue streams is key when it comes to social media setbacks.
- Setting boundaries around social media can free up more time and bring balance.
- Don’t put all your eggs in one basket—things can change in an instant!
