Are you considering adjusting your use of social media? My guest on this episode of The Modern Editor Podcast, Amelia Hruby, logged off social media for good in 2021 and hasn’t looked back. Now she teaches other business owners how they can still succeed without social media.

Listen in as she shares her journey from Instagram content creator to podcaster and self-published author. Amelia shares her aha moment when she realized that her relationship with social media wasn’t healthy anymore, and how she avoids FOMO when it comes to keeping up with her friends.

Disclaimer: We’re not saying you need to get off social media. Instead, we’re encouraging you to take a look at your relationship with social media and make a conscious choice about how you want to use it.
