I know you’ve been feeling drained AF when it comes to IG. There have been (many) periods this year I’ve felt the same. Scroll through the carousel and let’s talk about it.✨

06/28/2021

Unpopular opinion: as an introvert, you are a force to be reckoned with in business. Even on the days you’re not feeling it, inside you are powerful AF.

Confidence doesn’t look the same for everyone, and neither does your vibe.

But once you’re able to step into both, you’re able to connect with your people on YOUR terms.

Let’s talk about why I love Tan France. He’s one of my favorite people on q***r eye (I love them all though - let’s be honest). And he happens to be an introvert. I guessed this when I was watching the show, then I googled articles about it because I’m a superfan.

When you watch him onscreen, you can see immediately that he’s not the loudest in the room (that would be precious JVN). But Tan stands confident in his quiet power.

He doesn’t try to hype himself up to make his energy match the room, instead he stands strong in who the f**k he is. It wasn’t always that way. It took YEARS (believe me, I read his memoir).

But you can tell that when he’s speaking, people really lean in. They want to know what he has to say. They tune into it. It’s a beautiful thing to witness.

I want that for you too. That realization that as long as you’re standing confident in who you are, and embracing your energy, working with it, not against it - you can be successful.

Do you fully embrace your amazing introversion?

Hi! I’m Radha! I’m an anxious q***r introvert, a Virgo, a dog mom, a huge fan of noodles, Star Trek, graphic novels and kind folks.

I have very few really close friends but I love them super hard. I hate small talk (but will do it when the occasion necessitates).

I have good mental health days and bad ones (let’s normalize that).

I have experienced a s**t ton of grief this past year. But I’m hopeful. And I’m trying not to take things for granted in this life.

I didn’t see a role model in this industry I could look up to when I started, so I decided to become what I was seeking.

I am carving out my own path, daily. Every week I have to make room for my anger, my joy, my sadness, my emptiness, and my gratitude. All of these things are co-existing in my body.

I’m glad you’re here. Tell me something about you that I don’t know yet.✨🌈

Hi, I’m Radha and I’ve been taking a f**king B R E A K. Here’s your permission slip to do the same, and set some boundaries.

I love being here for my beautiful community, but I’ve had social and vacation time 2 weeks ago, and been sick this past week, so I put up a boundary between myself and the “need” to keep up a posting schedule.

I’m a huge fan of batch creating and scheduling posts, but doing that this round wasn’t intuitively honoring where I was at the last 2 weeks.

If you need to introvert and recharge, DO IT. If you need to wait to get back to your DMs, DO IT. If your mental health is suffering because of your Instagram page, give mental space the front seat for awhile.

Your community will be here when you get back. Hold that space for yourself.

THIS is what q***r joy looks like.🌈

Happy Pride month from your neighborhood bisexual q***r lady!

I thank those who have worked tirelessly for the right for q***r folks to exist and to be who we are.

We’re here, we’re q***r, and I’m finding such beautiful, precious joy in that. Differences are what make this world interesting and beautiful.

I refuse to let pride just be one month of the year. I’m going to celebrate all year🥳🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Rainbow in the comments if you’re with me.🌈

Let’s normalize the f**k out of growth. Of evolution. Of being dissatisfied with the way you’ve been - the way you’ve been doing things - the well worn path of getting from point A to B that has never felt right for you.

I’ve been going through some growing pains lately. I used to do a ton of mini trainings and quick, easy to digest tips on my page, and while they connected well with my community, they were super draining, and felt surface level for me.

Before you come for me, there’s nothing wrong with that kind of content. I’m just kind of tired of it. I see it everywhere on Instagram. And I want to do things differently now.

I was scared to pivot with my “educational content,” worried my audience would stop seeing me as the expert on all things Instagram. But that fear led me straight to feeling tired, stale and burnt out. And that’s not how I want to feel in my life, in my community or in my business. I was done with it.

Now, I’m ok with not being the “go to” page for tips. There are tons of pages out there way better about that than I am, and more passionate about it.

So here I am, ready to dive deeper. Maybe your content problem isn’t just from lack of ideas, but fear of saying what you know you want to say, or worry with how something will be received. Maybe you’re just lacking clarity.

But if you’re sticking to the norm because you “feel you should” then your audience is going to pick up on that and feel just as burnt out by you as you feel about your own content.

My coach .sealey is always talking about how you should speak about what you’re wildly obsessed with, and I completely agree.

The more time goes on with my page, the more I see this with clarity.

So, what is it you’ve really been wanting to say?

02/25/2021

I chose to do things differently in my business when I decided that intuition and strategy are both equally important for me and non negotiable.

(Let me know if you feel me on this).

There are tons of amazing coaches and strategists out there who focus either solely on intuition, or solely on strategy, and neither way is particularly wrong, but that’s what works for them. It didn’t work for me.

Over the last few months, I’ve realized how important intuition is in my business and in the lives of my clients.

What’s the point of doing all the “right” strategies, if it doesn’t feel good to you? If you wake up and don’t feel great about all the things you feel like you “have” to do, the types of content you “have” to make to try to get people’s attention?

The burnout that inevitably follows after you shout to be heard above the noise.

I also don’t believe that relying solely on intuition without taking action will get you anywhere.

What if you decide to dig deeper? To embrace both as you grow your business. What would that look like, feel like? What would it mean to wake up in the morning with the understanding that you can tap into powerful things within you as you build something sustainable?

To live inside the heart of why you started your business and your page. To tap into the power of how incredible it can feel to have strategies that you know work for you because you feel them working, on intuitive levels.

How do you feel about intuition and strategy in your business?

When I was a teenager, I couldn’t talk to anyone, particularly strangers.

I was so painfully shy that when someone would talk to me, I wondered why they were speaking to me. I questioned it. I was homeschooled for 8 years, and for a little while I went to a homeschooling program and there was this guy I liked there. One day, he asked me to come sit with him and his group. Not knowing what to say to him, I said, “You actually want me to sit with you?”

He told me to just forget it and he walked away from me. I couldn’t understand then that what I’d said had hurt him. I was being earnest, but coming off as rude.

Anytime someone asked me something about myself, I wondered why they were interested. I didn’t think I had anything remotely useful to offer anyone else. I felt like a boring person who lived in my own head 24/7.

As you can imagine, this made it tough to make friends.

One thing that helped change my perspective was a trip with my godfather when I was 15. We were staying at this hotel and went to sit in the whirlpool bath. There was a stranger there who we didn’t know, and my godfather started talking to him. I sat quietly observing. He demonstrated what it was like to ask someone questions, to take an interest in someone else.

It baffled me at first. It was like a magic trick. I couldn’t believe how easily he could just talk to people.

He tried to teach me that taking an interest in others was a way to get to know them better, ultimately to build community.

He’s one of the many people I have to thank on my introvert journey, because he showed me the value of connection. We’re all on different stages of our journeys, and if you’re feeling stuck and frustrated on your journey, keep going.

Find someone you trust to show you how to start to make those connections either in your personal life or your business.

I thought I’d never make it out of my own head, but I did. If you get stuck in yours too, feel free to DM me. You’re not alone on your journey.

I took a break from Instagram for almost 2 weeks and here’s what happened:

I think most of us fear taking time off. Like our business is going to burn to the ground if we aren’t constantly feeding the machine of content. When I decided to take a break, it was because the perfectionism monster that lives within me was telling me I couldn’t. That I shouldn’t. That I needed to push through.

But deeper down, the me that knows how to tune into what I really need said, “No. It’s time for this. Take a deep breath. This is how you’ll move forward and come back with clarity.”

I learned that my business would not crash and burn if I took a week and a half away from posting and engaging. I found out that the community I built would still be here for me when I got back.

I was flooded with supportive messages on the post where I announced I would be stepping away. And right after that post went out, I felt lighter. I put on some Celine Dion and Shania Twain for a throwback and started dancing in my robe.

I knew I had to trust myself and my community. I gave myself permission to finally rest.

Over the holidays I didn’t miss scrolling endlessly on my phone. I wrapped presents and prepared holiday cards. I connected with my nieces and nephew on facetime and listened to them sing part of the Hamilton soundtrack to me and my husband.

I learned to make several new dishes I’d never tried before. I learned how to season a wok. I worked on a Lego version of San Francisco that my husband got me for X-mas.

I also fell into Clubhouse (that’s for a whole other post).

I’ll never regret taking valuable time to rest. And if you need permission to take a break too, here it is. Stepping away for a bit is so important. We’re so consumed by social media and our businesses at times that we can forget what’s important.

I’m back, and I missed you, and I’m ready to bring you so much amazingness this year. I’m slowly letting go of trying to be perfect and do all the things all the time. The two intentions that I’m focusing on for 2021 are “alignment” and “balance.”

What are yours?
