FoundHer Files: How to Overcome Social Media Insecurities with Peloton's Jenn Sherman

“The struggle is beyond real,” says Jenn Sherman about her social media insecurity and imposter syndrome around learning the basics of Instagram. Jenn is the OG Peloton instructor and her episode of Dear FoundHer... from July 2022 is the most downloaded in the podcast’s history. Jenn returns to discuss her struggle to learn basic processes like recording and posting, especially as someone who is older than her coworkers. Rather than seeing it as a project, Jenn realizes that social media is a necessary part of her job now, AND that it's FUN. And since she started taking baby steps toward learning the process, she finds she actually looks forward to it more every day. Lindsay answers a lot of the questions Jenn still has, explains the importance of having fun throughout the process and gives Jenn a CHALLENGE that you can participate in as well!

Top takeaways from today’s episode:

You just have to get started. Make a commitment. Take baby steps. Learn one step at a time and build upon it. It’s OK to feel overwhelmed. 

Quotes

• “I still am feeling overwhelmed by all the different things that you can do on social media. But once you know how to do it, you know how to do it. And it's really not as complicated as I thought.” (18:09-18:29 | Jenn) 

• “I don't even want to call it a project because I really do plan on moving forward and making this a regular part of something that I do. It's part of my job. And that's the way I'm looking at it now.” (13:10-13:20 | Jenn)
