Embrace Your Imperfections: Why It’s OK to Be Perfectly Imperfect
In this episode, I discuss the fear of not being perfect and the importance of embracing imperfections. I share a story about a client who was afraid to be photographed because she hadn’t seen herself in photos in 10 years. I talk about how everyone feels imperfect and that being imperfect makes us relatable to others. It’s ok to show your human side, as it is more relatable and gets more love on social media, especially if you are trying to get engagement on your posts and social media content. Allie Serrano
