Read if you want to get off social media

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

I don’t know anyone right now who LOVES social media.

Nearly all of my clients either 1) are on social media begrudgingly or 2) aren’t even on it. And I can’t blame them. I haven’t been on Instagram since 2023.

It may FEEL like social media is a necessarily evil. But you don’t HAVE to be on it. There are other ways to market your business and other ways to find clients.

So if you're thinking of getting off social media, ask yourself these questions:

Do you want to be on social media, why or why not? What I’m getting at here is: Is it a conscious or fear-based decision? A conscious decision may look like opting out because you don’t align with the values of Meta. A fear-based decision may look like hiding and being scared to show up.
Do you have alternatives to social media? If not, now is the time to cultivate them. Social media fills the top of the sales funnel. So you’ll want activities to replace that top-of-funnel attraction. This can include things like podcast guesting, speaking at summits, workshops or events, networking, etc.
What are you hoping to get from social media and how has it been performing for you lately? If you're feeling pressured to post on Instagram, yet you haven’t had one client from Instagram in the past year, you're not losing much. But if it’s working for you as far as attracting folks to your email list, it could be worth staying.

Remember that even if you do CHOOSE to use social media, you can do so consciously.

It's your business and you make the rules.

what to do before the year ends

Hi Reader, Last week, I spoke about letting go of what no longer works for us in business, but in life as well. I also offered a practice you can use for letting go. Letting go is the first step that should be done before deciding what you want to bring into the new year. But that’s a topic for next time. Today, we want to look at what is working and what’s not from a business perspective. I believe in prioritizing your instincts and intuition… but also in looking at the data. This means we...

a practice for letting go

Happy December! It’s been a YEAR… hasn’t it?!! Now that we’re in the final stretch of 2025, it's a great time to reflect and clarify what you want to leave behind in 2025… and what you want to carry in to 2026. This process can feel overwhelming. Sometimes the easiest approach is to start with what’s *no longer* working and what you don’t want to do anymore. For me, there are things that are no longer working AND there are things that simply don’t light me up anymore. Things that instead feel...

How to handle the fear of being seen

I’ve spoken a lot in the past about fear and how it affects our businesses… specifically the fear of being seen. (I even have a whole course around that!) That’s one of the biggest fears I’ve been working with in my life since … forever. The important thing to remember is that the fear of being seen (or anything else, probably?) can be remedied. I hesitate to say “overcome”, even though, technically we are overcoming it with every step we take. I’ve also spoken about how having trauma or even...
