Social media brings people closer but sometimes, it also makes it easier for people to compare their lives with others.
Comparison can be the cause of unhappiness, but if used positively, it can also be a source of inspiration. In this episode of the We Grow Together podcast, Laura discusses the pervasive issue of comparison, particularly in the context of social media. She shares her personal experiences with comparison, the impact of social media on mental health, and how to cultivate a positive environment for success. Laura emphasizes the importance of using comparison as a tool for inspiration rather than a source of stress, and she advocates for a balance between consuming content and creating one's own life. The episode concludes with practical tips for staying focused on personal goals and fostering creativity.

Having confidence is much easier said than done.
In this episode of We Grow Together, Laura DiFrancesco offers her advice on how to build confidence in work and personal life. Confidence is like a muscle; it takes time and effort to grow. Laura states that one of the best ways to do so is to focus on your confidence in low stake situations. This will then translate to other situations in your life where you feel a little more uncomfortable. It's important to not be discouraged by your “failures,” as they are just steps to becoming more knowledgeable about a skill or topic. Laura shares other mindset shifts, such as redirecting guilt and implementing positive self talk, and provides daily habits such as writing down wins and doing tasks outside of your comfort zone. Confidence is a skill like any other that takes time to grow, so have patience in yourself and keep with the forward momentum.

Life is ever evolving, and sometimes you cannot fully predict the trajectory of a year.
In this episode of We Grow Together, Laura Difrancesco emphasizes the value of quarterly reflections- moments where we can assess the past few months and reorient our intentions for the next few. These seasonal reflections allow us to look inward- to see what is working and what we want to change for the future. Laura provides tips for a productive reflection, both for personal life and business. She discusses the importance of being flexible with goals, prioritizing those that are pertinent at the time, and paying attention to the seasons. Setting goals at the beginning of the year creates a foundation for the future; however, engaging in seasonal reflections allows you to create relevant steps towards achieving these goals.

Welcome to our first ever combo podcast episode! That’s right, the We Grow Together Podcast and the Dealmaking with Laura DiFrancesco are releasing the same episode. It is not often that a topic of conversation aligns with both podcasts, but in recent events, we believe that this issue affects us all. The popular app, TikTok, went dark on Saturday January 18, 2025 around 10:30pm. In this episode, Laura used her background in law to discuss the logistics of this “TikTok Ban.” Going over the basics of the United States Government, Laura discusses how this is an issue of national security and not free speech. She goes over the ownership structure of the app and its implications for data privacy for both users and non-users. The conversation highlights the mistakes made by various parties in the legal arguments surrounding the ban and the broader implications for businesses, content creators, and everyday people. This is an ever changing issue and most Americans are not educated on what this “ban” really means.
Leave a comment below on what you think of the video and the current state of TikTok!
