Ever felt that panic when thinking about stepping away from social media? Or "I could NEVER!" In this raw and revealing episode, I share my journey of taking a full social media detox—deleting Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and even Pinterest from my devices.
I dive deep into the real fears that surfaced (hello, sweaty palms and racing thoughts!) when I decided to disconnect from platforms I've relied on for 12+ years for both business and personal connections. If you've ever felt tethered to your phone or caught in the endless scroll cycle, this episode will resonate deeply.
