Hello friends, thank you for joining me today. Do you ever come across those

Instagram accounts where all you want to do is save every single post? You're like, I

love that and I love that one and that one is also fantastic. You might already follow the

instant account Flor de Lee speaks. It is the hand of a woman holding a scrap of paper and on the scrap of paper is

something to think about something inspirational something moving that is

Faith Kate and that's who I'm chatting with today. She's a therapist. I just have all kinds of questions for her about her account, but also just about life in general. I think you're going to love this conversation. So, welcome, Faith Kate. I'm Sharon McMahon and welcome to the Sharon Says So

podcast. Faith. Thank you so much for coming. I am absolutely thrilled to be chatting with you.

Thank you so much. Tell everybody what you do.

The gist of what I do is I'm a mental health counselor. I see clients virtually through Zoom obviously because of the

pandemic. Prior to that I was a professional school counselor. I started out in

Nashville and then moved to Atlanta and I was doing that for about 10 years until I had a little pivot in life and

switched to doing what I'm doing now. I also have written a couple of guided journals, so I guess I would consider myself an author. I also see myself as an encourager on Instagram. That's what my Instagram platform is all about is just being a source of

with light and encouragement to people. I know there's so much that we scroll

to and we see all the time on Instagram that may not be so uplifting.

And just like scrolling through, you just stop on my post and get just like a smile

or a deep breath or a sigh of relief. I've done my job in a mom. So that's a part of my job too, but I think I'll wear a lot of hats like you do and if anybody is not familiar your account is floor

de Lee speaks what you're known for are putting encouraging messages on a little scrap of paper and taking a picture of the message that you're meant to read is on the paper.

And there's just something about that

that I think is really special.

It's eye-catching, but it also feels almost

like a secret message that's meant for you.

Like somebody wrote that little and they like folded it up on a little scrap of paper and it's bent just for me. I think what you're presenting is brilliant and how you're presenting it is also part of the appeal of it.
