đź’”Breaking Up with Instagram: Grief, Growth, and Finding Freedom Beyond Social Media

Is it time to break up with social media? 

After 13 years on Instagram, I made the difficult and liberating decision to walk away. In this episode, I share the raw truth about what it’s really like to leave social media: the grief, the unexpected gifts, and the deep healing that comes from stepping away from a platform that once defined so much of my identity.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur wondering how to market your work without social media, or someone simply feeling the pull to disconnect, this conversation offers guidance, compassion, and perspective.

 I explore how this “breakup” mirrored past romantic attachments, what it revealed about my patterns, and how I supported myself through the emotional unraveling that followed.
