BTS of Being A Celebrity Social Media Manager with Julia Broome

Julia Broome is a 28-year-old influencer on the rise. However, she wouldn’t describe herself that way - she would say she is an educator, which is true, but we’re obsessed with her personally and so is everyone else because she’s such a delight!

Born and raised in California, Julia has been around the industry her whole life. Her first internship was with a wellness influencer and it was incredibly impactful to launching her career. Today, Julia does social media management, brand building, consultations, website design, SEO strategy, assists clients with product launches, brand deals, partnerships and more.

In this episode, Julia shares insights on building an online presence, tips for someone looking to hire a social media manager and how to become a social media manager yourself. She even has two courses through her SOSH School, which are designed to help with that step by step!

We wrap up with candid conversations about the pros and cons of social media accessibility, self-care, keeping up with crazy schedules, grounding techniques and why it’s so important to support your small business and creative friends.

Mental Health, Mood Disorders and Medicine with Hannah Heidel / @nourisheddgirl

166: Continuing with our 8 dimensions of wellness series, we are joined by Hannah Heidel, who is a master's student of holistic nutrition science. She goes by the social media handle @ nourisheddgirl where she shares a variety of wellness content of her journey and conscious lifestyle. You’ll find vulnerable and heart-centered videos featuring her routines, grocery shopping, recipes, self-care activities, her experience with anxiety and opening up about the reality of her healing process.

TAKEAWAYS:

  • Authenticity is key on social media. Being true to yourself and sharing both the good and the bad can create a safe space for others.
  • Prioritizing mental health is essential. It's important to listen to your body, set boundaries, and make choices that support your well-being.
  • Comparison on social media can be toxic. Being mindful of who you follow and how it makes you feel is crucial for maintaining a positive mental state.
  • Saying no is necessary for self-care. It's important to prioritize your own needs and not feel guilty about setting boundaries.
  • Reconnecting with hobbies and engaging in inner child healing can bring joy and help in the healing process.
