Whether you’re already considered an Influencer or your goal is to attain that status…that’s amazing! I love it! But have you considered the downside of your platform? Followers don’t fix problems! So, every issue you’re carrying before you have influence will tag along with you for the ride once you have it. And even worse, what was once your private life now becomes public. The past you were able to keep hidden because no one knew you gives way to newfound light. Your life can become the center of attention in the worst way possible.
No matter how influential you are or become, I implore you stay on top of your mental and emotional health. Understand that the same people who love you today when you’re on top may turn on you tomorrow should you find yourself at the bottom. I want to encourage you to do your mental prep work off camera so that when the spotlight hits you it has nothing to illuminate but your gift!.

Because Soneakqua understands that not everyone is going to go to counseling or hire a coach, she writes books. It’s often easier to read to gain insight before you make a commitment to getting additional support. Self-help is NOT the idea behind any of Soneakqua’s books. When it comes to your mental health you don’t want to do it alone. What she hopes that you will obtain from reading any of her content is that there is assistance available. That mental health and faith are not mutually exclusive, so you don’t have to deny your belief system to get help. You must first become aware there’s a problem and then you can take your next best step!
