Breaking Up With Instagram: My 30-Day Digital Detox Journey

Is social media quietly draining your creative energy and peace of mind? In this honest episode, I share why I deactivated my Instagram account for the time being and the surprising effect it has had on me already. Here's what I cover: 🎯 [0:00-4:00] What happened during the holidays that made me realize I wanted to take a step back. 📱 [4:00-10:00] My beef with Instagram's story feature and how it creates unhealthy checking habits. 🤔 [10:00-16:00] The difference between Instagram's "highlight reel" culture versus more authentic platforms 💭 [16:00-22:00] Why keeping up with friends' stories isn't as important as we think (and better alternatives). ✨ [22:00-27:00] How stepping away from Instagram helped me feel more present and content with the here-and-now. 🌱 [27:00-31:00] Practical questions to help you reflect on your own social media use and what might need to change. Are your social media habits truly serving your creativity and wellbeing? I hope this episode inspires you to reflect on what digital minimalism might look like for you in 2025. 🎧 Want to get podcast updates in your inbox? Sign up for the newsletter at ⁠
