Finding My Path: Navigating Social Media Dependency and Self-Employment
Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragement
Have you ever felt that the very tools promising to help you grow are actually holding you back? That's the journey I found myself on recently, prompting a season of intentional disconnection from the digital dependencies I'd cultivated.
After years of pouring hours into social media platforms—going live for 3-4 hours at a time on TikTok without seeing the progress I'd hoped for—I reached a turning point. When I finally gained backstage access as a creator network manager, I realized I could accomplish everything I needed without the platform's constraints. The final straw came when one of my helpful posts received a violation notice, highlighting the unpredictability of algorithms that don't always recognize authentic content.
My path toward full-time self-employment hasn't been linear. I still rely on contract work to pay my mortgage and bills while building my coaching practice. The frustration of slow progress led me to seek answers in astrology, which did provide some clarity about seasons and cycles. But the strongest revelation has been about trusting my own inner wisdom above all external guidance systems. As I temporarily step away from social media algorithms a

So hello there. This is Leta, goddess of Growth, and I'm in a reflective mood today. I have a number of items or topics I'd love to discuss and I'm just here thinking which way do I begin? So what I'd like to do is share a little bit of a story of my journey this week and experience, but actually there's something else I want to go over before I do that. I had put up a post and I'd mentioned astrology in one of my sessions.
Speaker 1:I'm not an astrologer. I've read astrology for near 26 odd years now. I use it for myself, for self-reflection, tapping into the time and the season, but I in no way, shape or form, am I an astrologer and I'm always learning something new. So I had written up and did a podcast on my experience, but I realised I'd spoken about a transit that was not right at all, so so I ended up deleting the podcast. Needless to say, it was a reminder that I need to be mindful, making sure that I talk about what I fully understand, what I fully comprehend. It doesn't take away the experience that I was going through. I just mentioned the wrong transit and, that being said, there is a development this week for my life. I had found that I was, we were. I've already moved away from the algorithms. Not that I will never rejoin social media, but I've already removed myself from the algorithms whilst I continue to build my practice, build my business and take what I learned from social media and make it. You know, my own AI has also been a tool that I have gotten used to tap into, so I'm on a bit of a hiatus from using it at the moment. Yes, I will continue to use it on platforms like this for blogs and so forth, but I was getting a bit too dependent, I suppose, in asking it questions, so that I will be giving a little bit of a break as I move forward along with astrology for sure. Move forward along with astrology for sure, because I found, with astrology, it's been very good at telling me shortfalls down seasons. All of that was very right.
Speaker 1:Being a cynic, the things that I didn't like so much seem to be more true than the things that I liked. But it's my understanding. They all balance each other out. My spirit has been saying to me for a while listen to my spirit. It was the same when I was on TikTok for a couple of years. I would go on and I'd have motivation and encouragement from others to keep going, keep going live. Three hours, four hours, and as much as I was turning up, showing up, I was not progressing as I thought I would be able to or would have liked. It took me a couple of years to understand and realise why, and in fact, no matter what I did at that time, there wasn't going to be any level of progress that I wanted. I progressed in the end.
Speaker 1:This year, april, I was offered the role of creator network manager and I took it on, was very excited about it and in getting access to Backstage, I realised that actually all of this work I can do on my own without the need of Backstage at all. There was a lot of changes going on in the platform. People were getting violated left, right and center because of those changes. Wasn't that they were doing anything wrong? I myself experienced one of my posts that was just giving directions on how to apply to the creator network and I still have the screenshot now and what they could do as creators if they didn't want to join or could not join the creator network, because I still have my coaching practice how they could do as creators if they didn't want to join or could not join the creator network because I still have my coaching practice how they could apply. And that particular post received a violation. I queried it three times. On the third time I was told well, apparently I'm permanently banned. Now I didn't actually lose access to the account. I didn't actually experience a full ban. I did raise it and apparently it was cleared, but the violation remained and I made my decision at that point that I'd have to leave the post.
Speaker 1:So that's my story on that, and what I will say to you is Dependency when we're working towards independent self-employment. I mean, that is what I'm working towards full-time self-employment. At the moment, I've not been able to achieve it. I still rely on contract work, getting jobs, whatever it is really to pay my mortgage, my bills in between. So the vision for full-time self-employment has not gone away. I often work long days helping myself, build my practice, focusing on my online offering, and astrology has been something I've been tapping into over the last few weeks because of frustration whereby things have not moved as fast as I would have liked, and I can tell you, astrology explains it all literally, even to the point that over the last two weeks, I lost visibility online because the websites that I had up.
Speaker 1:Probably three weeks ago, I decided to restructure how I was doing things and in making that decision, the service or the host that looks after my websites, helped me to make some changes which meant that my websites were offline. I basically merged a number of websites into one, and that decision meant that there was no visibility. And because I had a subdomain on my directory website, that too went down, which I only cottoned on to probably about a week or so after Last week, I was pushing again like when am I going to get access to the website? Remember, I'm not on social media. I have one account on Instagram, which I do nothing on, and Benable, but there is no interaction at this time. And, lo and behold, friday I had access to the hop directory. I'm still to get my energy together to start building a new website where I'm hoping to meet creators and small businesses, to work with them, share my knowledge that I gained on social media, so that they have a better start if they choose to join social media, to progress their livelihoods, their careers, their brand and so forth, so forth.
Speaker 1:So astrology has helped, tapping into the time and the season, however, I have had a strong sense and urge that actually I need to really start listening to myself because, far and beyond whatever I read, I'm the one that's living this life experience. I know you can tell me this is X and Y and Z is going to happen, but I know how I am best placed to deal with a scenario. It's just like I've mentioned the pandemic, the world world. We had a pandemic, but we all had different experiences. I did not experience the loss that many did during that time, not in the same way. However, around that time, my sister was really unwell she's been unwell for a while, but she was really unwell and my aunt was distant, a few family members distant and it's only now I realized that many were having health issues, my aunt still with real challenges of her own till today. So it wasn't the pandemic or COVID that affected me. There were familial, family issues, health issues. That was keeping people separated and apart, which we're still consolidating right now.
Speaker 1:So this is where I am there's life changes. I'll be putting AI aside for a season, a period. I've already disconnected my TikTok accounts for a season and I'm focusing on my career, self-employment and building foundations. So when the season comes to a close. I'm ready for the next step. You are with Lita, goddess of Growth. Do come in and join me.
