Lights. Camera. Instagram Stories.

We’re talking about showing up on Instagram stories, and most importantly, how to be less cringe-worthy every time you do. I have a love-hate relationship with Instagram Stories. I love watching them, especially when people are talking to the camera, and I know how important they are for my brand, but I get it: it’s awkward AF.
