This week, I'm taking y'all on a journey through one of the wildest weeks of my life back in 2020. Picture this: getting locked out of my Instagram account for seven days! I know it sounds dramatic, but it truly felt like my world was crashing down. In this episode, I share the full story, the lessons I learned, and some crucial tips to ensure y'all never have to face the same nightmare.
In November 2020, my Instagram growth was skyrocketing. I was gaining followers like crazy, but then, out of the blue, I got a notification that stopped me in my tracks. Instagram temporarily blocked my account, accusing me of using third-party services to boost likes and followers. This couldn't be further from the truth, but I had to navigate this unexpected hurdle. My immediate reaction was panic. This wasn't just a social media hiccup – this was my livelihood. But as fate would have it, I was also about to leave for a week-long vacation.
Being forced offline during this time turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Initially, I felt lost without my daily Instagram routine. But by day three, something incredible happened – I started to feel free. No more waking up with anxiety about what to post or spending countless hours engaging online. I reconnected with the world around me and realized just how much I had been missing out on. This break gave me a fresh perspective on how I wanted to balance my digital presence and personal life moving forward.
Remember, we're all more than the numbers on our social media profiles. It's essential to find a healthy balance and truly live in the moment. Thank y'all for tuning in, and I hope my story inspires you to take a step back and appreciate the bigger picture. Let's grow together, one conversation at a time!
