About this listen

Ever met an "influencer" who can't keep eye contact with you in real life? Ever feel the pressure to have a perfect social media feed, even though you know it's a facade? You're not alone. In this episode, we're spilling the tea on why our social media sucks, and why that's actually a good thing. We dive into the absurdity of the "plumber with the leaky faucet" paradox and the pressure to have a perfect online presence.

We're spilling the tea on why following all the "rules" of social media marketing might actually be stifling your genius and sabotaging your real-world success. We discuss how you can run multiple six-figure businesses without a curated Instagram, choosing vibrant real life over endless scrolling. Ushi unpacks the brutal truth about protecting your IP and why she refuses to compromise her "Ushi-ness" just to sell books.

Are you ready to ditch the performance, reclaim your creative valve, and build a brand that's genuinely you, even if it means breaking every social media rule in the book?
