I used to work in finance and spent most of those 17 years as a small business manager. These days, I’m a social media business coach working with small business owners to create simple social strategies that actually work.
And like you, I’ve better things to do with my time than stress about my social media sales or client conversions.

And what I have found is that so much of the positive mindset stuff is really steeped in a fuck ton of privilege ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For example a simple statement like 'You are your only limitation' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While this may be 100% true for someone like me, the sheer ability for ME to be my ONLY limitation means I am indeed a very privileged person⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Marginalised people fight every day of their lives for the rest of society to stop limiting them⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because they don't have the same resources as privileged people⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because they don't have the same basic needs met as privileged people⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because they need better allyship and representation to break down the structures that marginalise them in the first place⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A woman living in domestic violence, a kid in high school who is gender fluid, the mum with 3 neurodiverse kids, the indigenous man who immediately gets the look of distrust just because of the colour of his skin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And us privileged folk ........ imagine if we saw more of that, heard more of that and did something about it⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Imagine the impact if the language we used made more people feel seen⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's a world I want my children to inherit⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
