Hello and welcome to the Slow Home podcast. My name is Brooke McCallory and this is the show

all about slow. It's also all about social media for this week. Yes. And last week and the week

coming. Welcome to episode 204. We are continuing our talk on social media, our social media channels, and what works for us as a

business and what also works for us personally while we still live our slow life and

mindful philosophy. Yeah, that was very articulate. You seem surprised. Look, I am a little bit,

but it is a really good question, I think, because the expectation is that when you're building a business or when you have a business that operates online, you are pretty much always accessible.

So us being quite mindful and having boundaries around our time with social media flies in the face

of almost all the quote business advice you get at conferences and, you know, in online courses

and all that kind of stuff that you need to be everywhere. You need to be accessible. You need

to be responsive. Promoting your personal brand and promoting the brand of your business. Like that's what it is. Yeah. I used to be accessible. You need to be responsive. Promoting your personal brand and

promoting the brand of your business. Like that's what it is. Yeah. I used to get that all the time.

Yeah. And I think the expectation is that you are on all the time. And I don't think it's a surprise

to anyone that we are not on all the time. So this series was initially, I guess, prompted by a question that we had

about balancing business, social media, personal use and slow. And I think it's a fantastic question.

It is very good. This week we're going to talk about my favorite social media channel, Instagram.

Mm-hmm. Yes.

Mm-hmm. Yes.

So Instagram, love it or hate it?

I love Instagram.

Yeah, why?

I don't know.

I think it feels less heavy than Facebook and Twitter.
