I posted my first video showing my face and telling my story. How did it perform compared to my other content?

It massively outperformed your other content. Your video received 8 comments, and you’d have to scroll way back through your feed to find another post with that level of engagement—it essentially doesn’t exist in your recent content. This shows exactly why showing your face and telling your story is so powerful. The content was authentic—you weren’t faking anything, just being true to yourself. The camera angle, the story, the music choice—it all worked together to create genuine emotional connection. This type of content (showing yourself, being personal) should become part of your regular rotation, even if it feels emotionally draining. You don’t have to do it every day, but include it in your weekly content calendar. Pin this high-performing post to the top of your profile so new visitors see it first.
