Help! I'm afraid of posting on social media. Coaching interview with Sam Langran

Do you ever feel afraid to post on social media? 

Perhaps you’re worried about what people think. Or that someone will criticise you - or your content. Maybe you secretly fear people won’t be interested in what you have to say. 

Perfectionism, self-doubt - and Imposter Syndrome - can leave you crippled with fear.

All of which can hold you back from showing up online with confidence. 

How do you move past your fears about posting on social media? Find out in this coaching interview with workplace mediator Samantha Langran.

About the Podcast

Courageous
Honest conversations and smart strategy for rebuilding a bold life, brand, or business — even when speaking up comes at a cost. Hosted by Janet Murray.
This is not a cancer podcast.

It’s about what happens when your voice is threatened - by illness, by public shaming, by fear - and you decide to keep speaking anyway.

In 2025, I was diagnosed with breast cancer while navigating public cancellation for defending women’s sex-based rights. Now I’m documenting the rebuild: of my health, my business, and my voice - with honesty, strategy and as much courage as I can muster.
