For years I have been someone that has struggled with insecurity. Three years ago when I started Lost in Fashion, my husband pushed me to launch a blog. It takes a lot to put yourself out there. Since I started posting, it has really helped my confidence. A big thing for me with social media is not using filters. I always want to be authentic. It’s also been really fun because I have been able to include my kids in my social media. They even have their own IG account @KidsInFashionllc.

When you put an emphasis on reaching your business goals through extensive branding, social media can support your efforts while also expanding your network. People who do not have an understanding of social media or the right marketing strategy tend to have a misconception that social media is negative, but I truly believe it is one of the most powerful tools a business owner can use. When used correctly, the return speaks volumes.

My work is intangible, so social media is the most effective way to market myself and my business(es), because it humanizes my business. My profile, posts, and interactions all work to form a trustworthy and relatable persona that clients and agents can connect with. I find that the right message drives traffic to content, work and clients, which grows new opportunities. This results in an expansion of my network of leads and increased brand awareness. Better awareness = better results. Social media is paramount for building and growing relationships by opening lines of communication and fostering connection.

Our use of social media is an integral part of keeping our clients involved. The relevance of social is undeniable. It was a major tool in the recent opening of our award-winning design studio and the expansion to Naples. It’s a daily view into our design and lifestyle brand, interiors we love, chic cocktails we are sipping, and a glimpse into my home lifestyle.

I use social media in both my personal life and business to reflect a timeless wisdom. It is important to understand yourself before you can connect. I hold full integrity for who I AM and how my voice translates within my Sacred Aligning Tribe. This means releasing ego-based actions and moving from a place of pure intent. Community is at the heart of every social media platform. It's crucial to connect on the most authentic and genuine frequency.

Social media was once mostly just for fun, but not anymore. Now social media allows me to do at least four important things: discover new ideas and trends; connect with existing and new audiences in deeper ways; bring attention and traffic to my work; and build, craft, and enhance my brand. However, social media changes all the time, so it’s important for me to keep up with the evolution of the platforms and to keep looking for ways to optimize my use of the available tools.

Social media is very impactful in our culture today. I use my platform to inspire others to learn more about health and wellness through my modeling, acting and my business, G’s Bridal. It’s so easy to scroll through your feed and feel pressure to keep up with peers or follow trends that may go against your values. That’s why it’s so important to represent authenticity - and that’s whatever form authenticity takes for you. None of us have to be the same. We just need to be our authentic selves. We never know what life we can change. I can say that I’ve met some of the most inspiring and amazing people through social media who have not only changed my life, but also have become friends and family to me.
