Turning Off Insta

Erika b Hess
About this episode

On today's mini episode, I'm chatting about the social media platform Instagram for artists and sharing why I've decided to step back a bit from the grind of constantly posting on my own profile.

I'm also talking about why it's ok to let yourself take a break from being tethered to social media and why you shouldn't feel guilty if you're not posting reels on Instagram as an artist.
