Hey Y'all, Hey! It's your girl Jessica Lauren and I am coming to you with this week's quick tip. You know in this past week's episode, the full length episode that is, we talked about owning our greatness - how we're not going to play small; we're not going to had in the corner or quiet down our voices for entyboty. We are embracing our whole, great self. Well I was like okay, well what could be a really good quick tip for the week and this weekend I was cleaning out my phone just to make some room y'all I got like over 16,000 pictures and almost 5,000 videos. it's obscene. But I was just trying to make space like just clear out old screenshots, old text messages that don't serve me, and as I'm going through my camera I'm like oh my god like I'm coming across some fire pictures some dope videos some cute selfies that I never posted. And I'm like girl Why don't you post this? You know just like this stuff is cute. And it was I never posted it because I was still battling you know the thoughts that I'm not good enough or if I post this somebody's gonna think I'm all that. You know we talked about that in this full length episode this past week about owning your greatness. I'm not going to post it because if I do maybe somebody thinks that oh she thinks she a businesswoman you know like just totally get in my head you know I gained some weight because of the quarantine and it still ain't came off. It was like I don't look I used to look... just give it all up in my head and and after having a little bit of space between the times I took the picture and I'm seeing it now just like girl You look beautiful you fine, you dope like look look how you styled that! Girl post the picture.

And so I know Instagram and social media brings up a lot of our insecurities because we're comparing ourselves to IG baddies and girls that's making millions on Instagram and all of that. You know there's artists that are better than you better podcasters all that stuff and so you might be like me where you have some fire content in your arsenal but you're like I'm not good enough to post it. I'm not good enough I'm not worthy enough or nobody's gonna like it or I'm too embarrassed or you know like I don't want people to think I'm filling myself.

Well chile, today I challenge you to post the damn selfie. If you feeling yourself, post it right! If you sleeping on some fire content that has value or is going to inspire somebody else or just makes you feel good, today I challenge you to show up in that way. Post it! Get on Insta stories, look cute do what you do makes you feel good post the dog on selfie. and it doesn't have to be a selfie right I use that just an example but post your work. Show up your cookies, show off your new book. Don't be afraid to hide. Again we are embracing and owning our greatness and you know right now social media is our stage and is not always a bad thing like you've created our audience over there go off and give the people what they want! They waiting on you to show up and and and they miss you and all that stuff so today my challenge is just for you to show up as show off!

Like there is nothing wrong with saying you know what i do think I'm all that I do think this picture is hot. I do love my content and I am going to share it don't play small anymore Don't hide it anymore Don't keep it off in the wings if you got some stuff that's thing your phone that's collecting dust that you feel isn't good enough I challenge you to posted to-day! Share it get it out there! And you'd be surprised how many people resonate with that that gravitate towards it that's liking it, right. I have a client you know for the goal getter sessions we were talking the other day and she had a little bit of a hiatus and she was just like girl I'm so scared to come back because everybody's gonna think like oh why is she back now like Oh, she's just back because she wants to sell something. And I said wow, why do you think people are thinking about you like that right? When you post stuff people are oh my god I miss her. She looks so good. Oh my goodness. I've been waiting to hear what's going on in her life and I can't wait to support her and shop with her, right. Hopefully, like your followers aren't haters and if they are go off and remove them, block them. Hopefully you're creating and cultivating communities that support you and like your work and if ya not gone 'head and remove those folks, but for the most part people are genuinely rooting for you and can't wait to see what you got cooking. So that's my challenge for today's quick tip go out there and post the d a m in selfie, post your work show off show up due to dog on thing.
