Creative Women's League Podcast

Ep. 108     Wait. Am I really suggesting you could use Instagram bots and automation to grow your Instagram following? No way....right? In this episode I give you the complete rundown on bots and automation for Instagram; the difference in the two, the types of bots and automation and whether or not it can be used in a complete IG growth strategy. I think the episode is going to surprise you because it surprised me too! I did not expect for all my painstaking research (okay not really) to bring me to this conclusion.   Follow the Creative Women's League on Instagram Join the Creative Women's League Facebook Group.

 Episode 106   Sign up for my free course Uplevel Your IG to unleash your inner IG genius and learn to use your Instagram with purpose and excitement.    October 10th is World Mental Health Day    My depression was so shrouded in secrecy and so many people were willing to turn the other cheek when I really needed someone to ask "Are you okay?" And ask it often. This episode is not only for those who are starting to think to themselves "I think something might be wrong." but also for friends and family members who are noticing some "off" behaviors in the ones they love but aren't sure if they should say something. Today's episode is a little rough. Yeah, it was rough to talk about but it's also much less edited than I usually go for because it is full of raw emotion I just wanted to leave as is. I was inspired by Amy Porterfield's episode talking about depression with Jasemine Star (Listen to it here).   You aren't alone. You can breathe again and be happy again. You can help your loved one through this.  Suicide Prevention  6 Fundamental Signs of Depression Supporting a Friend of Family Member with Depression Coping with Depression What Not to Say to People With Depression

Here’s to the janitors who don’t understand English yet work hard despite it all. Here’s to the fast food workers who work hard to see their family smile. Here’s to the laundry man at the Marriott who told me with the sparkle in his eyes how he was an engineer in Peru. Here’s to the bus driver, the Turkish Sufi who almost danced when I quoted Rumi. Here’s to the harvesters who live in fear of being deported for coming here to open the road for their future generation. Here’s to the taxi drivers from Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt and India who gossip amongst themselves. Here is to them waking up at 4am, calling home to hear the voices of their loved ones. Here is to their children, to the children who despite it all become artists, writers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, activists and rebels. Here’s to international money transfer.
