Harnessing Technology and Social Media for Self-Empowerment
Show Notes

While it's tempting to only acknowledge the negative aspects of the high-tech, social media driven times we live in, some good has come from it....

Case in point? The death of  "gatekeepers".

With the rise of social media, Youtube,  self-hosted blogs and podcasts, traditional media has become a thing of the past- an antiquated notion.

No longer do creatives and entrepreneurs have to wait to be "chosen" by a select few.  Nope!

With the ability to reach millions (hell ...billions) of people at our fingertips, it is now just a matter of choosing ourselves.

As an antidote to all of the doom -and- gloom messaging, in today's episode, I am sharing a more optimistic and empowering  way to look at our times.

Stop letting outdated paradigms- like the notion of "being chosen" - dictate what is possible for you.  The digital era has induced a mass extinction among gatekeepers and as a result,  there is no one left to choose you.   It is  now only a matter of choosing yourself!

**All my fellow mamas out there: I am a potty-mouth,  so you may want to listen with headphones on!**
