Starting on Instagram When It Feels Unco...

Kelly McKenna, Therapist & Business Coach
About this episode

Getting started on Instagram as a therapist can feel SO uncomfortable. Putting yourself out there feels scary, overwhelming, and just plain awkward. You are NOT alone in feeling this way! But this also shouldn't hold you back from getting started on Instagram.

In today's episode, I'm talking about starting on Instagram when it feels uncomfortable. The hardest part is STARTING. Once you make that first post and learn to do it consistently, it really does get easier (and not so scary)!

If you need more help getting started, I'd love to have you in the Reels Membership! I've even got a special gift for you (if you need a little push to get started). DM me IDEAS62 @businessoftherapy on Instagram and I'll send you this week's Reels Membership email - totally FREE!

In this episode, I cover: 

  • Why feeling fear & discomfort on Instagram is totally normal
  • Why your very first post doesn’t matter that much
  • How to ditch the perfection mindset & start showing up authentically
  • Practical tips on what to actually post to connect with your audience
  • Real-life examples of content ideas from the Reels Membership
