13. 5 Lessons Learned After Leaving Social Media Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

How many times do you pick up your phone in a day?

On November 1st I deleted all social media apps from my phone. Gone. As I shared last week in episode 11, I chose to take a 2 week social media fast… and let me tell you, I learned a lot… and I’m sharing those lessons with you today. So much good stuff!

In this episode, I share 5 lessons I learned from taking time away from social media and spending more quality time with myself. I believe when we experience new things, it’s the perfect time to give yourself permission to get curious. And like all the best lessons, what I learned about my brain, behavior, and myself has helped me change my habits moving forward when it comes to social media. Let’s dive in! 

3 Reasons You Should Listen to Today's Episode

- Dopamine withdrawal is a real thing! I share nerdy facts about the connection between our brains, social media, and content creation. You’ll be shocked by how many times on average we pick up our phones each day! I have a hypothesis to run by you as well.

- If you’re like me, you’d think productivity would be off the charts without social media, right?! Turns out, productivity is a choice. Let me explain my surprising discovery.

- Two treasures that came from the quiet when you’re not consuming. These two things alone are incentive alone to change the way I engage with and consume social media moving forward.

11. Permission to Protect Your Peace Nov 10, 2020

Show notes

Where can you give yourself permission to protect your peace?

Have you ever noticed when something that usually brings you energy and joy… starts to lose it spark for you? Or maybe even a step further, it starts draining you and you start experiencing dread or resentment? Yeah, I experienced that recently, too.

In this episode of the Permission to Offend podcast, I share how I knew I needed to protect my energy and peace in a new way and why I chose to be off social media for a period of time, even though that is usually a place I find joy and connection. I hope that sharing my experience challenges you to assess where you’ve been showing up or going through the motions because you feel an expectation from others and instead give yourself permission to protect your peace, even if it disappoints others (or messes with the algorithm).

3 Reasons You Should Listen to Today's Episode

- If you’ve ever had an idea and weren’t sure when to take action and when to hold off.

- If you’ve considered taking a break from social media and yet feel pulled in all directions.

- Wondering how social media affects our brains & behaviors.
