The nationwide ban on TikTok will officially go into effect at midnight on Sunday. “I work with my clients to really show them how they can eat in a calorie deficit or lose weight in a really sustainable way,” said Kelly Story, who runs a small business through TikTok. “And it really educates women about what their bodies need to be nourished and helps them find sustainable methods to lose weight. Many of us have a history of restrictions and yo-yo dieting. So when you escape from that, it’s just freedom. “With the nationwide ban just hours away, some business owners and entrepreneurs said they are feeling anxious.”The overwhelming majority of us agree that this is a violation of our freedom of speech, and it is a violation of our creativity,” Story said. “It is stripping 7 million small businesses across the United States of their primary source of income.” Story has a healthy lifestyle and fitness account on TikTok. She said the platform has been the best way to connect with other women and potential new clients. “Because the algorithm is so specific, it connects me with my audience on a deeper level than any other platform I have access to,” Story said. “Which means people want to work with me and I connect better with my clients. It’s a great form of lead generation that has attracted people who want to participate in my program.” Story now said TikTok could disappear. it will be more difficult to reach those customers. “It’s just hard because you feel like there’s nothing you can do for your future, like you’re hanging in front of you, waiting for other people to make the decision about whether you deserve to be able to keep your job or not,” she said. “It feels like… I mean, genuinely, this is the same as a company doing mass layoffs, right?” And although it will likely be an uphill battle from here, Story said he remains optimistic. “We’ve created and cultivated an experience there and built individual communities where we all feel very connected,” he said. “I definitely try to really have faith that God will provide for me. And I’ll be okay because He’s done it up to this point. But I don’t think I’d be human if I didn’t have some anxiety about the situation.”
