What is it about displaying oneself and one’s business on social platforms that just feels so intimidating? A workshop unfolding in real time, listeners are given a front row seat as host Kelley Stevens talks with therapist Stassi Betcher to identify and unpack Stassi’s own barriers to an online presence that cultivates her professional success rather than inducing anxiety. The result is a raw, collaborative, and dynamic episode that peels back the layers on social media and self-promotion in a way that is equal parts affirming and applicable.
