Goodbye Social Media
I’m sitting here reflecting on the last couple of months, proud and in awe of all I’ve been able to create and accomplish, the results I’ve seen in all areas of my life and then it hits me…
I’ve been OFF social media two months today!!
Now before I say too much more let’s be very clear I LOVE SOCIAL MEDIA! I love how it’s allows us to connect to people around the world, I love how it’s seen me meet, serve, connect, build friendships with people I’d never have met in “real life”, I love that it’s a free creative outlet that not only allows opened up self expression but enables anyone to create income from anywhere. The list could go on and on about the benefits this wild not so new platform provides us.
That said for years I’ve also been VERY aware that with the good brings the bad as it may. Without intentional use, willpower, focus, boundaries, systems and the list goes on, social media can not only rob us of our most precious commodity - time - it can have a negative effect on our confidence, self esteem, mindset, relationships, business, family, finances, health, to name a few.
So, you might be wondering why I de-activated my social media this summer and maybe even more so you might be curious why I’d ever come back - let’s dive in.
I have been on Facebook actively and generously sharing my life with the world since 2007. That means the world has had access to my family, my kids, my career in banking, my side hustles, my divorce, my 100 lb weight loss, my relationships, my coaching, my travel, my home purchases and sales, my business launches, my friendships, my nights out…. You get the picture.
When I posting innocently on this brand new shiny thing as it launched none of us knew the massive world meta would one day be, myself included, so we all started taking photos and uploading, creating statuses to share how we were feeling, finding lost friends from school years and shifting our quiet time from bottom to scrolling.
Problem was over time social media felt like one of those highway car crashes you can’t help but turn to check out knowing full well it’s not something you want to see. Hours scrolling, tasks avoided or delayed, deep diving accounts and losing track of time, comparison, judgement, gossip, you name it.
And this was my experience - with the tools to manage my time and efficiencies, to set intention and have a clear why, to understand the algorithm and behind the scenes design of this big ol’ beast!
So as 2023 wrapped up and 2024 launched and I saw so many areas of my life with massive transitions I decided it was time to unplug from decades of sharing one way, regain focus, set new intentions, and from there IF I re joined the world online it would be brand new. Taking my knowledge from the last couple decades and optimizing this tool to serve, earn and have done fun.
So July 22, 2024 I did it. I had downloaded all my content from meta and I went thru the not so easy process of removing myself from social media.
The first few days were weird as you can imagine, grabbing my phone to scroll only to realize I had nothing to scroll. Wondering why I hadn’t heard from certain friends only to realize we only communicate via reels. Realizing how much time I truly had in the day but now unsure of how to use it.
A lot of awkward silence and big aha moments.
As we launched into August and the impact of my somewhat mindless social media was very present, I started diving in to my business and goals and the impact I am committed to making on this world.
Now let's back up to my earlier comment about big changes as I closed 2023 and launched 2024. Reason being these changes were a huge factor in why this unplug, pause, pivot were a must.
I often look back and say wow God must have really had a plan for me. 2023 brought so many unexpected massive moments that had me out of a home for the month of November due to a massive flood, had me forced to close my existing business in January after unexpected partnership changes, had me meet and fall madly in love with my forever person in December and had us create a miracle baby due January 2025.
So with a list on my mind of new love, expanding family, new business launch on my plate you can see why my unplug felt even more powerful (albeit scary)
So August comes around and I know I want to continue impacting the world in a big way. I know I want to create more revenue online and passively allowing my growing family the freedom it craves. I know I have almost 30 years of training, learning, living and certifications to support me. It was go time.
So I got to work, with nothing but time now that scrolling was off my to do list and I started creating. I took my 10+ years as a coach and I beautifully packaged 10 programs into easy to follow digital assets for people to enjoy. I took the knowledge I had and tools I teach to create a brand new why, business model and offers.
I got clear on my goals, timelines and boundaries.
I created a brand new Instagram to house my content, a new website to share all I’m up to and automations such that the freedom I want for my family is possible come bambino arrival in the new year.
In doing all of this it was quickly clear my why is to see the world access freedom. Not just any freedom but a freedom that is defined by YOU.
I want people waking up clear on who they are, what freedom looks like for them and equipped with the tools to make it happen.
So with that said I looked at what I believe the world needs to access such a luxury as a life by design and I created 2 digital programs to ensure you have everything you need to accomplish just that - MONEY + MINDSET - From there the next step was obvious - if I want to free as many people as possible I wanted to MAKE IT AFFORDABLE!
So, get excited if that excites you because today onward my social media will be all things YOU accessing freedom. Conversations about money, conversions about mindset. This will look like all you need to know to access freedom without working harder, without sacrificing more time and without jeopardizing health.
freebies. blogs. fun live content. generous. real. unfiltered.
A world I've been swimming in since i was 14 and have nicely packaged for you so you can skip the 30 year, multiple 6 figure price tag snd get going now on small shifts that will crack what's possible life open.
and with that - I'm back!
