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

There are so many things to do when you run a small business. And even more things you “should” do according to marketing “experts,” online business influencers, and the voices that arrive when you need to make a big decision.

In this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Miller to talk about the “shoulds” that so many of us face in our lives and our businesses. And we offer practices for taking your “shoulds” seriously, so you can cultivate the magic you need to finally release them.

Join us for a soulful conversation where we explore—

• The "should" that inspired this podcast
• Practices for discovering & examining your shoulds
• Why “best practices” might be bullshit
• How pausing & slowing down can help you discover who you are & what you desire
• Betting on yourself to build self-trust

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
