Can I make a confession? Even though I’ve been blogging for over 13 years, I’m still a total introvert who was SO scared to show my face on video until just a couple years ago!

I’ve followed Crystal for years, and when I saw how successful Instagram Stories was for her, it gave me the confidence to step out and try something new!

And I am SO glad I did, because now I use it nearly every single day to grow my blog audience and truly connect with my readers in an authentic way!

Who would have thought I’d learn to LOVE showing my face on video?!

I’ve been using Instagram Stories for nearly two years now, and the single most important benefit I’ve gained from it is community and relationships.
