It’s been nearly three months since I deleted Instagram from my phone, right before Christmas, deciding that I would just ‘take a few days off to be present with friends and fam.’
This is my dreeeeam! I'm feeling really called to leave that platform but scared to leave it at the same time. I'm still growing my business and my email list feels smallish... so the thought of departing from IG and building up here is triggering all sorts of fears in my brain. Anyway, thank you for sharing your journey. It's so helpful!
I hear you! It seems to be bringing up a lot for many of us! As requested by Colleen I’ll record a private pod walking through everything I’m actually doing and experimenting with on Substack. I’m by no means an expert but I think what I have learned already will be helpful to many of you who are going through the same transition!
I’m the same 😭 I’ve been saying i’m leaving instagram for several months now but I “can’t” stop lol but @Carly | Fortune, Fulfilled has inspired me now to revisit my motivation and why I’m doing this in the first place!
Completely resonates. I stopped posting quite a while ago and the relief to not have to record anything or keep up, is real.
I was yearning to slow down and write to deeper subjects. I also learned that my followers are definitely not my friends. Even those who had followed me for years.
I’ve decided to focus on the True Fan concept. And get in my real life rather than chasing metrics. It feels like I have a new life and business and I love the freedom 🩵

I juuuuust started posting on Substack after being a lurker for 3 years, but here's my fav piece thus far: https://substack.com/@wisewildwomanhearth/note/p-189675393?r=1sa1sd&utm_source=notes-share-action&utm_medium=web
