Do You Need Social Media for Community with Erin Loechner

Listen Later

A few years ago, Erin Loechner, author of Other Goose and The Opt Out Family, and her family decided to remove social media and opt out of a technologically driven lifestyle. This means having a smartphone that is no more used than a dumb phone, an iPad that can only play scales, and saying no to the digital community in favour of building community amongst your neighbours. 

Join Jennifer and Erin in Episode 88 as they dig into what it looks like to walk away from social media, the unexpected benefits, what you might miss, and all you gain.
