For years, I believed social media was the backbone of my business. Taking a break from social media showed me that not only is my business thriving without it—and so am I.
loved this read Olivia! This is also definitely one of my resolutions. I want to plan some of my content and schedule it per two weeks (if I have anything to post) and then step away from it for a bit.
Nice read, Olivia. Our phones really are the biggest energy sap there is. I’ve gone back to fall-asleep scrolling and it’s really not healthy so thanks for the inspo. Substack is still social media, but it feels different. I am also looking into promoting myself/ doing my new thing on just YouTube, longer form videos, less frantic. The adrenaline hit from Tiktok and insta meant I saw everything I did as potential content and the highs and lows from that are too much. Tonight my phone will be off by 10 and outside my bedroom for the night. Thanks.
Hello gorgeous, I don’t really use Instagram anymore, although as you know I still post my poetry on there. But I don’t spend ages scrolling, nor do I really interact with anyone on there, which might be silly, but I much prefer Substack, for now, anyway. Maybe when you and I publish the book of poetry with your illlustrations I might try to be a little more present on there, but then it will feel fake and give me the ick! Who knows! Glad you’re posting on here, and you didn’t talk about the embroidery! Looks lovely!!!
