If you have ever felt like you needed to step away from social media, but felt teathered to it at the same time then this episode might be for you. I’ve been online for about 20 years, and what started as online community, evolved into social (or anti-social) media. 

This is a deeply personal episode, as I share my choice to take the summer and possibly autumn off from all platforms. After making this choice I had a profound experience, I guess you could call it a mystical purge, my body gave way to some unusual symptoms, which also linked up with it being a new moon. The timing of this was very odd, but the next day I felt like there had been a shift. A layer of the cord had been cut, my need for wanting to check social media in the way I had before, had dissipated overnight. There was a lighter feeling after this, freedom. 

With the rise of AI-generated content, particularly that which is replacing art, feels like it is steeling part of our souls as creative beings. Taking this step back feels like a must to be able to move forward in this world. 

Have you taken a digital detox recently? What shifted for you? I’d love to hear your experiences when I return from this intentional pause. Until then, remember to lead through your life with your heart and live with intention.
