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, August was a month of evolving, connecting, and looking ahead. From continuing to grow long-term client partnerships and digging into important website privacy updates, to refreshing Office Hours and getting closer to sharing what’s next with WholeSite, there’s been a lot happening behind the scenes at Drio. Here’s a little peek at what we were working on throughout the month. 🌱 How United Way of Central Maryland’s Website Keeps Evolving We’re highlighting one of our favorite...
Hi Reader, Rachel and I recently went to a presentation for international exchange alumni (because of our Professional Fellows experience). During the event, one of the presenters shared how he’s now working with a peacebuilding organization called Mediators Beyond Borders. You know I’m all about a good analogy, and I absolutely loved the one he referenced. He described peacebuilding as similar to the Japanese art form kintsugi, which is done by repairing broken pottery using a gold substance...
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...
