Description
Social media management moves fast, and burnout is all too common—but it doesn’t have to be. Social Media Manager Confidential is your go-to for real talk, practical tips, and insider knowledge to help you stay ahead, protect your well-being, and build a business that lets you live life on your terms—whether you’re juggling kids at home or living out your Emily in Paris dreams.
I was a broke single mom turned founder of a multi 6-figure social media management agency and I mentor social media managers working on creating agencies of their own.
