Deleting Social Media

I deleted my IG off of my phone a few months ago and I feel liberated. I didn’t like reaching for my phone to numb the feeling of dullness in ordinary moments. I despised how it distracted me and drew attention away from my little girls. Or made me snappy with them when they interrupted me while reading a quote or laughing at a funny reel.

I came across your podcast during the pandemic and have been dedicated to your content since. I also listen to Lacy Phillips and Glennon Doyle and I’ve recently added many yoga podcasts that focus on the philosophy of the ancient practice.

I find it liberating to go inward. We don’t own a tv and haven’t for 15 years. I always believe I’d rather be out living my life rather than watching others live theirs.

I’m just rambling, but I am so happy for you. Also live that June 1 is my baby girl’s birthday and my wedding anniversary. And this year it’s a Saturday! All good things :)

Good luck and can’t wait to see what’s on the other side of your jump!

Deleting Social Media

Mark

this episode brought tears to my eyes, tears of joy, for I have too struggled with social media, namely Instagram for years. Back in 2021, I stepped away from it all. I too realized that the relationship I had with it was toxic and unhealthy. I couldn’t handle the polarity, and not being able to just show up to that space as my true self. I quickly realized how damaging it was for me and for my younger self. Hearing you speak your truth and authentically living in alignment with your highest self by honoring your values reaffirms to me, that I am too doing just that. I’m so excited for this next chapter!

I can’t wait for the book to drop.

So much love to you and Kylie. You truly are beautiful souls who light up this world in the dimmest of times.

Much respect -
