Grab your coffee (or beverage of choice) for an afternoon scroll! With the social media landscape changing at lightning speed, it’s overwhelming to keep track of all the updates happening in real time. But I've got you covered! I’ll be compiling the top updates with links and sharing three posts that I recently loved on social or articles as inspiration for your own or your clients’ content. Enjoy! ☕️
