About this episode
In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames breaks down why trend fatigue, borrowed language, and algorithm-driven messaging are causing originality to disappear across social media platforms. She explains how losing your voice quietly weakens authority, why conviction matters more than virality, and how to reclaim clarity in your brand messaging.
