Beating The Social Media Scaries with Sam Altieri The Conscious Leadership Podcast with Gabby Ortega, MA

Sam Altieri is one of my closest friends, as well as a powerhouse health and wellness coach who has built an incredibly successful six-figure business and a devout Instagram following. She’s my guest today on the Conscious Leadership Podcast, and this week we’re taking on a conversation about real-life techniques and strategies to authentically grow on social media (no gimmicky techniques, follow loops, or paid promotion!).

In this episode, Sam and I dive into an extensive discussion about how to show up on social media by sharing our lived experiences, our expertise, and the things we’re passionate about. We know that allowing vulnerability and exposure on our pages can feel “I’m-about-throw-up” scary, but fear not! We will be getting into some helpful ways to manage these fears, while recognizing the huge impact we can have on others just by sharing our truth and believing that our story matters.

What really came out of this conversation though, is that to authentically thrive in the social media space, we need to show up consistently, and share with depth. That’s the magic formula, right there, and how Sam and I both built our communities (and businesses).

This episode will teach you that when you decide to do the inner work, share that journey with vulnerability, and show up everyday- you're bound to call in your ideal audience, too.
