79. Field Notes From Leaving Social Media

What really happens when you step away from social media: mentally, emotionally, and as a business owner? In this candid episode, I share my field notes from three weeks off Instagram: the unexpected grief, newfound peace, surprising business clarity, and the stories I didn’t know I was living inside of. This is an honest exploration of identity, self-worth, and whether our nervous systems and businesses can thrive outside of the algorithm. We explore: The false sense of self-importance created by constant visibility How algorithmic bubbles shape our worldview (without us realizing it) The difference between being seen and being watched The story I told myself about not being able to run a business without Instagram, and what actually happened when I stepped away What begins to flourish when we stop performing and start living again Whether you’re social-media-free-curious, deeply burnt out, or simply rethinking how you want to be visible in the world, this episode will speak to that longing for a slower, more sovereign, more embodied way of doing life and business.
