Instagram is super annoying, right? And now, knowing that Facebook, owner of IG, isn't doing its job in removing hate speech, digital crimes, and has bolstered its algorithm to prioritize hate, it’s even less appealing than it already was. Am I right? In this episode, Rachel Pereya, a business operations specialist, joins me as we discuss the mental health aspects of creating content for a platform we hate.

Marketing budget. It sounds like such an overly professional thing that should just be easy to understand right? For me, marketing budgets cause me so much anxiety. Mainly because I just suck at budgeting overall. But when I went into business school in 2017 I spent a lot of time building a marketing budget, understanding how they function in the grand scheme of a business, and how truly easy they are to implement and create.

In this episode Sarah and Alli breakdown what marketing budgets are and how we can tell anxiety to take a hike.

We constantly compare ourselves to others on social media. Be it from looking at an ad, scrolling through our endless feeds, or searching out content of others we idolize. It’s hard to stop finding people to compare ourselves to. This is especially true in the body positivity movement, among entrepreneurs, and within gender specific realms. This week in our return to releasing episodes we’re discussing comparisonitis and the dangerous aspect of comparing every aspect of our lives to other people.
