Crucial turning point for my creative burnout
Zach & Kaia Isbell | Foodie Content Creators on Instagram: "So glad I was able to attend the first ever Synergy Social 💕 I’ve been struggling lately with some social media burnout so it was so incredible to get to connect with other women who have been in my position and how they were able to get themselves through it and to the other side. Getting to hear the story of Abigail who owns @centrogainesville @consuelogainesville @pristinecleangeorgia and is on the City Council was so inspiring and I learned SO much from her. It made it even more special to be enjoying food and drinks in her restaurant because it felt like she had welcomed into her home and shared a piece of her heart with us. Thank you so much @enlivensociety for putting on this amazing event 💕 See you at the next one?"
