Does your social media feed give you the feels?
Hey Reader,
They say “What you put out into the universe comes back to you.”
While it doesn’t always work that way, there’s truth to it.
On a smaller scale, I’ve felt it in my social media circle—particularly LinkedIn, which is the main platform I’m active on.
Over the last few years, I’ve curated this digital community of like-minded people who fill my feed with education and inspiration.
Sure, the algorithm can do mysterious things sometimes…
But overall, I get excited to see the people in my feed. They’re talking about similar issues I’m involved with and educating me on others I might not otherwise know about.
It’s energizing to see them out there doing great things. It motivates me to keep talking about the initiatives I care about, whether personally, with Drio, or with Monument Women’s Creative Alliance.
Plus, it helps us attract potential prospects who share our values. Win-win.
It all boils down to leading with our brand values online. By talking about the things we stand for (rather than only hard-selling), we curate an ecosystem that gives us much more than surface-level likes and engagement.
It gives us connection.
You can do the same. Here’s some inspiration to get you started:

Let’s keep having the conversations that matter!

Hi! I'm Rachel, the Left Brain of Drio.
Hi Reader, I don’t usually work late, but when I do, it’s because I’m fully immersed in something, head down, earbuds in. Recently, I was up late working on WholeSite, the AI-assisted website building tool we’re developing. When I finally came home, I asked my husband if he wanted to see what I had been doing. I hadn’t actually told him much about WholeSite yet, so I gave him the spiel. I told him WholeSite will allow entrepreneurs to create a high-quality WordPress website on their own. It...
Hi Reader, July was filled with connection, learning, and meaningful impact. From exchanging ideas with entrepreneurs and global leaders to launching a refreshed digital experience for a mission-driven organization and staying ahead of important website security updates, the month offered valuable opportunities to grow, collaborate, and support the communities we serve. 🚀 Learning from DC-Area Startup Founders On July 16, Rachel attended the Korea Innovation Center Washington DC’s TeX...
Hi Reader, Walking into WordCamp Europe this summer felt like walking into high school as seniors. As usual, we knew many of the faces in the room, and we had experience on our side. The city was new (Kraków, Poland), but the energy was delightfully familiar. It’s like coming home to a community we’ve been with since freshman year. When you’re one of the “seniors,” you have wisdom to share with others who are earlier in their journey. We always love meeting people who are newer to the...
