All of these beautiful Blasts from the Past were previously broadcast, but we are sharing them with you at a time when you might need them most. Hope you enjoy the review!

Ever feel like the feed is louder than your own thoughts? We open up about growing tired of social media, the mismatch between promised connection and real-life isolation, and the quiet cost of letting algorithms set our schedule, our mood, and sometimes our worth. This isn’t a rant for clicks; it’s an honest inventory of why we log on, what we hope to find, and how often we trade rest and presence for one more swipe.
We unpack the difference between contact and connection, the way “friends” and “followers” can blur into strangers, and why acceptance can’t be outsourced to a timeline. From late-night doom-scrolling that steals sleep to public pleas that sound like cries for help, we ask hard questions: Is social media your escape from responsibility? The only place you feel seen? Could your craft survive if you posted less or stepped away? Along the way, we share practical ways to set boundaries—time boxes, device-free zones, finite actions instead of infinite scroll—and a simple framework for defining your purpose on each platform.
We also explore creating without the feed. Can a podcast grow off-platform? Yes, but the strategy is different: stronger show notes for search, a consistent publishing cadence, collaborations with aligned hosts, and a focus on owned channels li
