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.
