About this episode
There comes a time when you realize the very thing you built no longer feels right, and it takes courage to pivot into what truly lights you up. Michelle Thames knows this journey well. She went from being fired from her healthcare job to becoming a visibility strategist, award-winning podcaster, and CEO helping women get seen and paid for their gifts.Michelle has a gift for keeping it real. She talks about the paradox of social media, how to use it as a tool without letting it take over your life, and what it looks like to step back from work that feels heavy so you can build something that feels aligned. She also shares how she is guiding the next generation, including her own daughter, to show up online with intention and authenticity.Key TakeawaysSometimes being fired is the doorway into your true callingSocial media is just a tool, and it has to fit your lifePivoting is not failure, it is alignmentAuthenticity and consistency go further than chasing trendsProtecting your energy and creating real connections matter more than vanity metricsYou don’t have to be everywhere online, just where it feels good and trueConnect with MichelleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-thames/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michelle.bridges.503/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michellelthames/Podcast https://bleav.com/shows/social-media-decoded/ Website: https://michellethames.com/Email michelle@michellethames.com Send a text Support the show?
