How did you actually protect your energy in 2025?

Tagging some folks to get this going! 💬

Great reflective question! I’d say, in general, there needs to be push back. I’m, not sure what happens when people who previously did social hire someone or a team and then they exponentially expect output to expand. Weird. 

I’ve given my self permission not to know all trends. It’s taking a step back from that always on and admit I won't know all the things, and that is ok and dosent diminish my expertise. 

​@TAMAYS so smart and love that you push back when needed too. 

Great question, ​@Maxpete. Entering 2026, I want to be mindful of how I’m extending or sharing my emotional, mental, and even physical space.

​@jason.stone love seeing you here!!

​@Maxpete, I was so surprised when I opened up the community and saw you here! What a blessing.

This is definitely a work in progress! In 2025, I used data to heavily advocate for more social media support. Fingers crossed it pays off in 2026! 

​@Jacqui keep us posted on this and here’s to more support this year!

I lean into the data to see what’s driving our business forward, and that gives me runway to pull back (or let go altogether) on platforms where our audience isn’t engaging. 

​@lisa.rodrigo a great reminder on the importance of capturing data and acting on that (ramping up or down) based on what’s happening. Thanks for this!
