In this episode, I’m sharing the heart behind my decision to take a break from Instagram during the summer. From struggling with boundaries to feeling overwhelmed by quiet comparison, I open up about why social media has started to feel more like noise than connection in this season.

I talk about:

* The analogy of social media as a tool (not a constant companion)

* How it’s been affecting my thoughts, routines, and motherhood

* The fear that crept in when I considered stepping back

* The sweet solution the Lord led me to: slowing down and shifting to other ways of connection

* A few “slow socials” I’m still enjoying!

Mentioned in this episode:

* 📸 Lapse App – like a disposable camera for your phone

* 📌 Pinterest – for summer DIY inspo

* 👩‍👧‍👦 Facebook Groups – I saved my favorite one right to my home screen!

* 💌 Subscribe to my Substack – for podcast updates, reflections, and random musings all summer long
