Lead with Love: Creativity, Business & Life with Jadah Sellner
Business:Entrepreneurship
What if you believed in yourself more than anyone else? In this episode of the Lead with Love podcast, I get cozy with my friend My Nguyen, founder of My Health Dish. We talk about building with intention and not letting the critics (which are sometimes the people you love the most) stop you from going after your dreams.
You can find her recipes with a healthy twist on the food you love over on her Instagram account @myhealthydish_ which she grew to over one million followers. So we definitely cover some Instagram tips and strategies in today’s episode.
My actually was the person who encouraged me to start an Instagram account in 2012 for Simple Green Smoothies. If it wasn’t for her nudge and encouragement, my life would look a lot different today.
My started posting Instagram photos of simple and nutritious meals she made for her twin daughters. She sparked so much interest by sharing her recipes and healthy lifestyle, so she turned it into her life’s work to educate others about what they put on their plate. All of her recipes are dishes she makes for her own family, and as a busy mom, she has to find ways to take shortcuts in the kitchen- without taking shortcuts on flavor.
What you'll hear (and don't want to miss!):
How My uses the feedback she receives from her followers to become a better influencer [10:04] The rejection and failure she experienced when looking to get her first book published and how she reframed it [38:28] How and why she intentionally pivoted on Instagram to go back to sharing more of herself again [42:59] The way My was able to get better at handling the criticism and how she protects her energy as an online influencer [46:23] What she sees as the upsides and joys of being online, and why she says she’ll never complain about social media [49:48] Her Instagram strategies that worked then and now, including how she wins the “hashtag lottery”You can find the full show notes from this episode over at https://jadahsellner.com/journey-to-a-million-followers-my-nguyen-159
