It was recently brought to my attention that my Instagram account is following over 5000 accounts. I thought this was a bit excessive.

After looking through the accounts, I realized that some are accounts I’ve definitely not ever followed. (How is that even possible?!) A lot of the other accounts were followed in my postpartum days. Natural linen baby clothing brands, toy brands, anything baby related. I went crazy with following accounts during that time period. (Which pains me now, knowing how much time I wasted. That energy should have been directed elsewhere).

I’ve been slowly unfollowing accounts, but dang, it takes so long.

The purpose of this post is to make something clear. I am on a path of no longer being a “follower”. I am pursuing the path of a leader, as this is the role where I am intended to reside.

The world needs more of us to acknowledge the leader within.

Take a moment to consider how you lead and how you follow. Learn something from it.

I still have much to learn.
