OMG CROSSOVER EPISODE! 🫶
Today on the show, I'm celebrating our 99th episode (and my four-years-off-social-media anniversary!) by sharing a conversation I had with Rebekah Taussig and Caitlin Metz for their podcast Scratch That.
We get into things I've NEVER talked about publicly before, including:
- How my three-year-old self picked my present-day career path
- The four-minute version of my leaving-social-media story
- What Instagram has meant to Rebekah as a space to share her life & disability advocacy
- How social media supports introverts like Caitlin with relationship-building & belonging
- Ways to express your (queer) identity without social media
- The value of breaking out of our echo chambers & building local community
- How to stop using social media to numb out 🙃
Tune in for an amazing, multi-faceted conversation, and if you're one of our parents listening, make sure you go subscribe to Scratch That: Parenting & ReParenting Off Script on Apple and Spotify for more incredible episodes!

ESCAPE THE TRANCE ⁕ REMEMBER YOUR AGENCY ⁕ BUILD COMMUNITY
Today on the pod we have a very special guest — Elise Granata of GROUP HUG!
Elise is here to chat with me about how social media erodes our agency + community building efforts — even if these platforms started as supportive relational hubs.
Join us as we wind through our teen years on Tumblr, how we dissociate on the apps, what inspires us to get offline, the dangers of optimized communities, adjusting our aesthetic expectations, "sweatshirt-level friends," and how to start your community practice.

Leaving social media isn’t always the most profitable decision… but maybe it taps into something even more lucrative?
In this episode, I’m joined by Leah Kern, an anti-diet dietitian who left social media a year ago and has experienced ups and downs in her business since.
For the first half of our conversation, we explore Leah’s path onto and off of social media, including how she used to get clients on Instagram and how she finds clients now.
Then in the second half of our chat, we discuss how intuitive eating actually led us both deeper into our values and why breaking up with diet culture was an important step toward breaking up with the apps altogether.
Tune in to hear a new perspective on what it's really like to leave social media with your business. And if you love this episode, be sure to tune in to Amelia on Leah's podcast Shoulders Down as well!
