So often when we talk about healthy social media habits, it’s about learning how to step away from our phones when they’re making us feel less than stellar. What we don’t talk about as much? Ways to make the time you spend on social media actually serve you better. And that’s exactly where these confidence-boosting Instagram accounts step in.
From a self-growth guru to a beacon of body positivity, the women behind each of these handles are rays of positivity.
Who said social media had to be all selfies and self-promotion?

Following Amber Rae is almost as good as having a life coach on-call at all times. The artist and author of Choose Wonder Over Worry is known for her soul-probing journal prompts, sharing templates her followers can use to help shift negative thought patterns, and glimpses into her own self-growth journey. She’s all about being kind to yourself, and an excellent reminder that life is more than perfectly-composed Instagram shots.
@calliethorpe
British blogger Callie Thorpe is the antidote your feed needs if looking at image of influencer after influencer is causing any of your insecurities to rear their ugly heads. She’s an advocate for positivity, and isn’t afraid to use her platform to speak out against hate and prejudice. An added bonus? She’s got great style, and her supremely cute husband often makes appearances on her Story (which is definitely worth a watch).

@theinsecuregirlsclub
Launched just a year ago by blogger Liv Purvis, @theinsecuregirlsclub pulls back the curtain of the polished social media presence of successful women to have honest conversations about mental health, the imposter syndrome, and much, much more. The confidence-boosting Instagram account (and its new website) is a crash course in vulnerability and being proud of who you are – flaws and all. What more can you ask for?
@createcultivate
If you don’t have time to head over and read the latest motivation-boosting career stories over on Create & Cultivate, following their Instagram account is your next best bet. Here, they highlight the best bits from the blog and pepper in sage advice from women crushing it in creative fields and at all levels of their career. Plus, their pretty office shots serve as serious inspiration to get your workspace in order.
