Education
Do you ever see an influencer on Instagram and think "OMG their life is so picture perfect, my life will never look like that". Yeah, me too. Well, our guest today decided to joke about those picture perfect squares to reveal the ultimate truth we all forget: it's mostly an act. What we see online is a fraction of the whole picture, and Adrienne took it upon herself to make hilarious videos impersonating our favorite Instagram influencers to help us all stop taking these filtered newsfeeds (and ourselves) so seriously. Adrienne is a stay at home mom who creates online content with the intention of making people laugh. She wants to combat the FOMO and show the lighter side of social media. And she's doing a damn good job at that! In our conversation today, you'll hear about Adrienne's backstory and how many different times she had to quit before landing where she was meant to land. I'm so grateful for what she shared with us because conversations like this normalize not having a plan. It's normal to try things and quit when we don't want to do them anymore. It's normal to not have a set direction (most people don't). It's normal to want to be a stay at home mom. It's normal to eventually want a life outside of motherhood. I hope you leave today's conversation with the insight that you don't need a specific goal to work toward in order to feel worthy. You are worthy right now, wherever you are, whatever you're doing or not doing. Let our goal be this: to be open to opportunities. Invite them into our lives and be willing to accept them when they arrive. And in the meantime, let's keep our eyes open for those moments of lightness and fun that spring up around us every day.
