Eight months off social media. This episode is the behind-the-scenes of what that actually did… to my business, my relationships, my creativity, and my sense of self.

TOPICS WE EXPLORE:

• What eight months offline actually looked like
• Remembering what I’m actually good at
• How I stopped letting the internet think for me
• Getting my time and energy back
• No longer being bingeable
• The painful friendship and family rifts that social media was fueling
• How I got more intentional about visibility without social

THE POINT:

Social media isn’t bad, it’s just bad for me. And the eight months I spent finding that out gave me back more than I expected… my creativity, my time, my relationships, and the parts of myself I’d handed over to the scroll.

MENTIONED:

• The Digital Detox Diaries: the four-part series I ran on social media during my April return
• Episode 186: The AI Identity Crisis No One Is Talking About
• Episode 188: Stop Pretending Your Business Is Easy: The Truth About High-Functioning Entrepreneurs

MORE ABOUT ASH
I am the definition of duality — I swear like a sailor and break rules like it’s my job, but I also hold incredible space for my clients and work my ass off to help them achieve the success they’re after. But I'm also here for the non-preneur woman, too. My background in counseling gives me a unique perspective on what it means to show up, serve, & create connection for those who feel like they've never belonged before.
