Moral Of The Story: If it pours there is always a

Moral Of The Story: If it pours there is always a way to protect yourself so you can keep going and find a way to keep smiling.

It’s all about the way you look at things. Something that dawned on me as the skies opened. With sunglasses on and no coat I could have turned back.

But instead I decided to look at the imminent drenching in a different way. To some I may have looked strange walking along with sunglasses on and a bag on my head! But to me I knew that I could make the dash, style it out (ok, maybe not!), not get as wet and smile along the way.

I simply wasn’t going to let the rain dampen my day! It was all about how I was going to view the situation. From initial annoyance to positively reframing and going on my merry way, in my way!

Now obviously this was hardly a hardship or real difficulty I was faced and dealing with. But it made me think about the importance of looking at things through different 👀, from a different perspective and how very powerful it can be to help you move through the toughest of times.

So yes, I looked a little bit ridiculous whilst it rained and I tried to style it out with my sunglasses on and a hat created from a shopping bag! But what I learnt is that you really can turn a 💩 situation into something better, where positivity and good can ensue. Not always easy, but definitely possible if we look at each situation through different 👀.

Bit like Social Media Marketing, something that is often seen as overwhelming and complicated. When actually with the right know how and a helping hand can be 👀 quite differently. And can go from annoying, stressful and complicated to enjoyable and simple very easily. (Well most of the time!)

So what do you think? Let me know if it’s something you do. Positively and Constructively Reframe? And do let me know if you’ve ever done anything like wear a bag on your head and style it out!🙂

Have a wonderful day

Love Sophie 💗

Instagram Listened! Have you seen they are not go

Instagram Listened!

Have you seen they are not going to include increased reach when you join the blue badge verification subscription.

It’s now arrived in the US, started by being tested in Australia. Not yet available n the UK.

I’m a bit peeved with them creating the paid subscription. But they are going to do it and so it’s best to know what is happening, why and how it will impact us all and then share that with you and the pros and cons.

Meta say that with “Meta Verified, you will get verification with a government ID, proactive account protection, access to direct account support and more. Features may vary by region.” Still a lot of unknowns!

So let’s see what happens. You’ll have to pay and in these difficult times this will put pressure on small businesses and that’s pretty 💩. And that’s why I’m peeved with them, because it creates a divide. But I guess it’s been free for years! Well sort of, if you don’t count ads. And it isn’t ours, it’s their to do as they like. It’s their business and we are but the consumers, some would say we are the products!

So although my focus has been Instagram for a long time, I am now over on LinkedIn testing it all out to see how it can be used by you my creative friends. And I have to say I’m really rather impressed. I’m not suggesting you jump ship, but it may be time to see what else is out there!

It won’t be right for all, that’s not how social media marketing works. It’s all about where your audience are, but I think it works well for creatives. A great way to network and grow your connections in a very strategic way.

So If you want to know how to use both these platforms to market your creative business in a simple and effective way. Do get in touch and If you simply want to put the feelers out, then let’s get together for A Free, 30 Minute Chat with no strings attached.

Here for you. Just DM me or pop to the link in my bio 👉🏼@sociallysophieb to find out more

“ Amazing Memories” Maman Bradley 6 years ago

“ Amazing Memories” Maman Bradley 6 years ago at the Pink Floyd Exhibition at the V&A museum. Fun times. Happy and Hysterical Memories created. Held close to my heart, each and every day.

This is the moment when you see right in front of your eyes where your creativity, fun, love for life and pushing the boundaries comes from.
And you know this is you and your future you, different but very similar!

Precious moments with my Maman. Artist, Writer, Opera Singer, Linguist, Traveller, Gardener, Lover Of Life And one of the most interesting women I’ve ever known. Ahead of her times, always driving forward, always pushing boundaries, the status quo, the norm.

A complex relationship, tricky at times, but one I wouldn’t change for anything in the world! From which the lady in pink (yes that’s me!) has grown!

It’s been a really tough few years, but you’ve shown me the way on many occasions, you’ve picked me up, you’ve done it in your way and I’ve learnt lots. I’m a stronger woman for it and I find in each day the joy to be found, your way, our way, my way!

So on this Mothering Sunday I say Thank You for the ups and down, for the reality of relationships, for the growth and change that takes place, for the different ways of looking at life, for the strong and different foundations. I Thank You for being “Maman Bradley”

And I Thank all the Maman’s out there for being you and all you do. It doesn’t always work out like this, but we all have a mothering role in one way or another and that is pretty damn special as we help others grow.

Much Love Sophie 💗

Excited to tuck into Freelancer Magazine. Whilst dipping back into previous ones. Have you seen it/ received it yet? I’d love to know.

I’m going to put the playlist on, snuggle (wherever that may be!) and tuck into the following from the latest Issue Eight (there’s loads more by the way!)

💥The Freelance Doodler
💥A Day In The Life Of
💥Do Give Up Your Day Job
💥F*ck Imposter Syndrome
💥How To Structure Your Freelance Life
💥Coliving
💥Freelance Events and Meet Ups

It’s a perfectly sized magazine. And yes size does matter! 😉 A little something, filled to the brim with gold nuggets (a golden ticket for the lucky one!)

A paper gem to take with me when I travel to my new role. @sociallysophieb is very much here to stay I hasten to add. Just another string to my bow! To be revealed very soon! Wish me luck!

So if you want a fabulous read, a good laugh, a place where you can learn lots, connect with fab people and feel you have a friend by your side then this magazine is for you.

@freelancermag is like a big warm hug, a little something to brighten up your day and make you 😊, go 🤔 and pause and think. It’s a little bundle of goodness in paper format. A little something I look forward to receiving every time it comes through my letter box.

It takes a lot of hours, knowledge, skills, creativity, talent, collaboration, coordination to create a magazine and so by supporting and purchasing it I feel proud to be supporting the wonderful group of freelance creatives who are behind the scenes busying away.

So this my reading, learning, connecting recommendation for you, I’ll share more along the way. Of books and magazines that are helping me on my journey with @sociallysophieb.

Have a fab week

Love Sophie💗
