It was a long distance inner sanctum this week lovers. We were joined from afar by the beautiful Ashleigh Bailey from @socialcoachash for her expert insight into the world of socials. We always learn so much from our catch ups with Ash. This was more than social strategy. In this episode we really went into social media in our lives, not just our jobs, and how to manage that. We know you guys will love this episode. If you want to hear more of Ash's insights for business socials check out the Social Rising Masterclass on our website.
