Off The Grid: Leaving Social Media Without Losing All Your Clients

Today I’m welcoming Christy Harrison MPH, RD, CEDS to the pod to talk about how social media platforms have lead to mass misinformation being spread online — and why that’s harmful to all of us, whether we think we fall prey to it or not.

Together, we talk about the parallels between wellness culture and social media culture, how misinformation spreads online, and the way that social media weakens our inner authority.

We also get into our personal and business relationships to social media, and have a candid chat about why Christy’s still on Instagram.

Tune in to hear more about:

• The aspirational nature of wellness & social media
• Why false information spreads faster & farther than the truth online
• How to values personal stories and scientific evidence simultaneously
• The value of solitude in reconnecting to ourselves
• Why Christy’s still on social media

When was the last time you took intentional time away from your business to work on it, rather than in it? Recently? Not so recently? Either way, it might be time to plan a solo business retreat!

She's shares her four-step process for planning a solo business retreat. We also chat about—

• What led Maggie to plan her first solo business retreat
• Retreat ideas for folks who don't have much time/money/capacity

If you dread marketing your work or wish doing it felt way easier, then today’s episode is for you!

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Amanda Laird, the founder and principal strategist of Slow & Steady Studio.

Amanda’s one of my favorite people to talk to about marketing, and her “just enough” method has taught me how to do less, sell more, and find delight in my marketing process.

We cover all that in the first half of the episode, and then in the second half we dive into two juicy questions — How do I do “just enough” social media marketing? And is leaving social media a privilege?

Tune in to learn:

• Why marketing feels so hard
• How to know if you’re doing too much or too little marketing
• The four parts of the “just enough” marketing method
• How to delight your customers & clients

This episode goes out to all my creative babes out there, because today I’m joined by one of my favorite visual artists and print goods purveyors, Kristen Drozdowski of Worthwhile Paper.

In this heartfelt conversation, Kristen shares how she started her business, her highest and lowest points as an artist and boss, and why she’s decided to leave Instagram after amassing over 50,000 followers there in the past decade.

We also discuss what it means to step off the online business growth escalator and grow horizontally rather than scaling vertically. Tune in to stoke the flames of your creative liberation and believe in your business again.
