The brand deals, the travel, the freedom, the flexibility, having a platform to share thoughts and ideas\u2026 it sounds ideal, right? When you really dive into this topic with actual influencers, there\u2019s often more to the story. In fact, there\u2019s a dark side to social media that not very many influencers openly discuss. And the underbelly of these social platforms can take an immense toll on the mental health of their users, which is only intensified with the more followers you have.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I am so grateful for today\u2019s guest, Nicole Zajac. She lays it all out on the line, every day \u2013 the good, the bad and the ugly. She promotes body neutrality and acceptance, self-love and mental health, while also sharing her struggles with each of these topics. In her words, she \u2018took the wall down\u2019, stopped editing her photos and just started showing up as herself, which has helped her to connect in a very real way to her ~65,000 followers on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>On today\u2019s episode, we talk about what life is really like as a self-love influencer, how Nicole had to re-navigate her presence on social media after the very public Brendan Leipsic NHL scandal, and her commitment to ensuring her personal values are at the forefront of everything she shares.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m honoured and grateful to have been able to interview this beautiful soul and can\u2019t wait to see all the magic she is bound to create in her career.<\/p>\n\t\t<h4>\n\t\t\tKey takeaways\n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<ul><li>Social media influencing isn\u2019t all fun and games; staying true to who you are and your core values is essential<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Your hurtful comments can have a hugely negative impact on someone else\u2019s mental health, think twice before you post<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Bringing down your walls and showing up as your authentic self is far more impactful and connective than creating a social media \u2018persona\u2019<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\n\t\t<h4>\n\t\t\tLinks\n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CDCaht7pkMV\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cultural Appropriation of Sage<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredfire.foundation\/elder\/tom-porter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tom Porter<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmiwg-ffada.ca\/final-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t<h3>\n\t\t\tAbout your host\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mindyourown.life\/website_dfde362d\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/Natalie-Cooper-Founder-of-Mind-Your-Own-e1583937096102-square.jpg\" alt=\"Natalie-Cooper-Founder-of-Mind-Your-Own\" itemprop=\"image\"  \/>\n\t\t<h3>\n\t\t\tNatalie Cooper\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p>Founder of MindYourOwn.life<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t<link itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/mindyourown.life\/website_dfde362d\">\n\t\t<a itemprop=\"sameAs\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mindyourown.life\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Instagram\" aria-label=\"Instagram\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p>Natalie is a soul on a mission to empower you to take your healing \u2013 mental, physical, emotional and spiritual \u2013 into your own hands.<\/p>\n<p>As a self-healer, living fully- medication and symptom-free, with chronic autoimmune diseases (Crohn\u2019s &amp; Multiple Sclerosis), Natalie believes in the power of mindfulness, intention and self-care to create the health, happiness and experiences you desire in your life.<\/p>\n<p>Natalie started \u2018Mind Your Own\u2019 to share her experiences while navigating her path to wellness and to show you that<em>\u00a0anything<\/em>\u00a0is possible when you live mindfully.<\/p>\n<p>Natalie\u2019s healing journey has led her to experience practices that have been instrumental in strengthening her belief in the power of mindfulness.
