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’ve been thinking a lot about the story of Pablo Picasso and the napkin sketch lately. As legend has it, a woman was walking by a Parisian cafe one day, when she spotted Picasso drawing on a napkin. She was a big fan, so she walked up to the famous painter and asked if she could buy the sketch. Picasso responded with, “Yes, that will be 1,000,000 Francs.” The woman was surprised because she had just seen how quickly Picasso had created the drawing. It couldn’t have been more than...
Hi Reader, Our International Women’s Soiree isn’t a big money-maker, but that was never the goal. Even though it’s always a lot of work, Hazel and I keep running the event because it keeps us connected to the bigger picture and why we started Drio in the first place. Plus, it’s a blast. Each time we run it, I can expect our wonderful keynote speakers will light us up with their words of wisdom, and that I’ll have fun connecting with new and familiar faces. Each year also always brings an...
Hi Reader, I’m about to start the last class of my MBA. It’s crazy to think that, 21 months after it all kicked off, I’ll officially be graduated in May. As I’m gearing up for the last push, I’ve been thinking about the tennis player, Mirra Andreeva. There’s this thing she does when she wins a tournament that I never see anyone else do. First, she thanks her family, coaches, and opponents. Then she thanks herself. Here’s a snippet from that speech: “I know what I have been dealing with, and I...
