50. Four sentences that keep you stuck on social media
Social media is a mess and a miracle—surveillance capitalism, addictive design, billionaire overlords… and also, real friendships, clients, teachers, and opportunities we wouldn’t have had otherwise.In this episode, Simone names the complexity and gets practical: if you’ve chosen to use these platforms for your work, these four sneaky sentences might be quietly keeping you stuck, small, and invisible.In this episode, you’ll hear about:The real ethical and political problems with social media (and why Simone still uses it anyway)Why saying “I don’t know how to do that” keeps you in permanent beginner limboHow “I hate that” often hides simple discomfort and unfamiliarity—not deep valuesThe trap of “that’s just not for me” and how aesthetic snobbery can block your growthWhy “I don’t see the point” is usually code for “I’m scared to try and fail in public”How to experiment with new skills on social without betraying your values or burning outSimone invites you to hold the full moral complexity of these platforms and still let yourself learn, experiment, and be seen—without letting old stories decide what’s possible for your work.If you’re someone who has chosen to be on social media, but you feel stuck every time you go to post… this one is for you.Resources & next stepsReflect: Which of the four sentences do you say to yourself most often?Journal on: “What if I’m wrong about that?” each time it comes up this week.Share this episode with a friend who’s creatively blocked by social media but doesn’t actually want to quit it.
