Description
I finally did something I’ve been wanting to do for years: I burned it all to the ground and I deleted everything. In this episode, I’m sharing what finally led me to delete not only my personal social media accounts but all of my business ones as well. I’m flying solo now without the use of social media in my business, and honestly, it feels better than ever.In this conversation, I’m opening up about:My Breaking Point: How I noticed my brain was depleted, my energy was low, and my creative capacity was shrinking because of the "swirling vortex" of my phone.The Addiction: Why willpower wasn't enough to stop a habit that saw my screen time hitting 8 to 10 hours a day.How I Untangled My Business: The steps I took to disconnect Facebook logins from apps like Canva, request my data, and manually archive my Instagram highlights.Marketing Without the Apps: Why I’m focusing on long-form content and SEO, especially since 85% of my students already find me through search.The Mental Health Shift: How that "heaviness" in my chest has disappeared since I stopped performing my life for an audience.Reclaiming My Time: How I’m spending my days now - at the library, watching more birds, reading more books, and being truly present in the moment.I used to think I couldn't live without these platforms, but I’ve realized that I don't need social media, it needs me. I’m choosing to look away from my phone and be present in my own life again.Send us Fan Mail-------Right now through April 4th you can grab one (or all 3) special bundles to help you with planning, productivity, and publishing your next thing.
