How Self-Love and Acceptance Can Help Grow Your Business with Kaitlin Anthony
Everyone creator - no matter their follower count, engagement rate, or niche - compares themselves and their work to other creators on the internet. There’s even a term for this: Imposter syndrome.
When you’re experiencing this, you find yourself wondering “Why would anyone care about what I have to say? I don’t even deserve the recognition that I get. I’m not even that good.” It’s easy to feel like a fraud.
The worst part? It inhibits growth. How are you supposed to do your absolute best to start or grow your business when you’re busy doubting your abilities and telling yourself that you can’t do it?
This week, we’re here with Kaitlin Anthony, an Empowerment Coach, podcaster, and multi-passionate entrepreneur dedicated to helping women to come back home to their authentic selves.
As an empowerment coach, she uses her life experiences, professional training and community to coach women to claim their personal power and live their happily ever now.
Today we’re answering all of your questions about dealing with all of the mental blocks that come with the territory of being a creator or an influencer. How can a creator deal with fear? Does imposter syndrome ever go away? If not, how can we cope? What are some specific actions that creators can take to love themselves more? How can a creator tune out all of the negativity on the internet and stop worrying so much about engagement or follower count?

In today’s episode, we discussed:
Instagram is exploring the ability to upload 9:16 photos
They’re testing a “full screen experience” including photos.
Instagram is testing the ability to crop your photos to what they’ll look like on your profile
Instagram is working on the ability to hide your follower count
In my opinion, I don’t think it would be wise for creators/influencers to hide their follower count. While it’s not what defines your worth, it does hold some weight for brands. Without the ability for a brand to see your follower count, it may be a deal-breaker for them to work with you.
Instagram is working on Reposts
With this update, you’ll be able to share content that you like from other creators onto a separate tab on your profile.
We don’t have a ton of information on this yet, but Tiktok is releasing the ability to have “subscribers” to your Lives to a small group of creators. More info to come!
