In this episode, I delve into my personal journey with social media, particularly Instagram.
This is the first of a two part episode that introduces my reasons for leaving InstaGram, my reasons for coming back and my conclusions after 7 months.
I discuss my decision to step away from the platform two years ago due to its impact on my health and well-being. Now, I've decided to return, but with a new approach. I'm exploring how to maintain a minimalist brand presence, focusing on connection and authenticity rather than followers and likes. This experiment is about finding a way to use Instagram that aligns with my values and doesn't compromise my well-being.
