Ep 5. Social Media Sanity Toolkit with Portia Obeng: Digital Wellness + LinkedIn tips For Success

Tune in and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. 💚

In this episode of Ease and Grow, I chat with social media expert, Portia Obeng, and she shares tips for keeping our sanity while on the apps and shares insight into how we can level up our LinkedIn.

Portia is a Ghanaian-American social media strategist with nearly 10 years of experience and she specializes in LinkedIn and Instagram. She works to help people and organizations understand how they can use social media, not let social media use them. She encourages them to step away from continuous mindless scrolling and figure out how to use it to enhance their work, lives, and personal brands.

Portia loves being Ghanaian, spicy food, dancing, live music, listening to podcasts, experiencing new countries, and reading a good book (preferably on a beautiful beach in Ghana).
