🔮 A Spell for Releasing Your Shoulds Around Social Media (& Everything Else) — with Natalie Miller

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

08/02/23 • 56 min

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

One of my favorite shows. We're all sick of social media, and this show always gets me thinking about how I can do less (or maybe, someday, leave it altogether). Really inspiring!
