365 Days Without Social Media: Reclaiming My Energy, My Voice & My Truth

What happens when you stop performing for the world, and start listening to your soul instead?

That’s the question I didn’t know I was answering when I quietly deleted my Instagram app over a year ago.

No announcement. No drama. Just a quiet act of rebellion against the noise, and a deep longing to come back to myself.

There was a quiet moment when I realized how much space I suddenly had.

No notifications. No endless scroll. No mental tabs open, wondering what to post, how it would land, or whether I was doing enough.

Just me. My breath. My mornings. My own thoughts . . . undiluted by the noise.

My nervous system had been whispering for a while. My energy felt scattered. As an introvert, an empath and a woman running a soulful business, I was absorbing too much and losing track of what was actually mine.

So I stepped away. And everything began to change.

 THE WEIGHT I WAS CARRYING

Now, I didn’t leave social media because I thought it was bad. I’ve always been grateful for the opportunity to reach people around the globe in an instant. But despite all its possibilities, I started to notice how many invisible threads were pulling on me every day.

Every post I crafted felt like it had to perform. Every scroll made me compare myself to others. Every DM I didn’t answer made me feel like I was falling behind.

There’s a kind of energy leak that’s hard to explain. For me, it sounded like an estranged voice constantly reminding me that I should be sharing. I should be growing. I should be showing up more.

And at its worst, it wasn’t just comparison or self-doubt I was absorbing. It was the heaviness of those sickening comment sections and the way unhealed anger could hijack a space, the way cruelty could be unleashed at the tap of a screen.

Over time, those energies lodged themselves in my body, and it all became too much.

But in the absence of all that noise, I remembered something far more important: I don’t need to be seen all the time to be valid.

Creation is sacred and doesn’t require applause.

And my voice is mine first. No one else’s.

Without the pressure to post, I began creating just for the joy of it.

Without the influx of other people’s energies, I could feel what I actually felt.

Without all the scrolling, my mornings became mine, not an invitation for the outside world to tell me who I should be.

For the first time in a long time, my nervous system exhaled.

LESSONS FROM A YEAR OF STILLNESS

Over the past year, I quietly stepped back from social media, but I didn’t step back from my calling. In this space of stillness, I created a deeply feminine, powerful program, and I’ve had the joy of guiding incredible women through real transformation.

I’ve learned so much. Not only about the inner resilience of the women I work with, but about my own capacity to create, hold space and most importantly, trust my intuition.

Many of the women I’ve worked with have quietly shifted their lives in big ways, and it’s been deeply humbling to witness.

This journey has reminded me that true connection and impact aren’t measured by likes or followers. They’re measured by the energy we hold and the lives we touch.

This year taught me how deeply I need space to process. I need stillness. I need time to feel before I respond. To root before I bloom. Being online all the time had subtly trained me to override my own rhythms to stay visible and relevant.

But in the quiet, I remembered that my power doesn’t come from being everywhere. It comes from being fully with myself.

I'M RETURNING . . . THIS TIME WITH INTENTION 

After a year, I’m returning to social media, but differently. Not a strategy for growth or metrics, but a presence rooted in energy and alignment. I no longer feel the need to be on all the time. I’m not interested in curated perfection. I’m here to connect. Genuinely. Softly. Soulfully.

I want to share from the overflow, not the obligation. To be consistent with my presence, not just my posting. To create sacred boundaries around when and how I engage. Because now I know the difference between showing up from a place of pressure and showing up from a place of truth.

I want you to remember that you don’t have to be visible to be valuable. You don’t have to be on to be aligned. You are allowed to disappear for a while, and return softer and more deeply yourself.

This September, I’ll be holding a mini retreat—a gentle, soul-nourishing space where we’ll step away from the noise and tend to the parts of ourselves that have been dimmed or depleted by the constant shoulds.

It’s a chance to reconnect with your heart & your deepest truth. 

I would love for you to join me, to give yourself permission to pause, breathe & bloom. Because sometimes, stepping back is the most powerful way to step forward.

Reserve your spot here.
