Platform Pollution & The Pressure to Perform: Finding Your Signal in the Noise


Listen Later

In this episode, I get raw about the emotional weight of sharing sacred work on social media in the midst of collective crisis and digital chaos.

We were promised connection but what we’re getting is constant exposure, nervous system whiplash, and subtle shame for not being ‘loud enough.’ Whether it’s breaking news, performative activism, or just the sheer mess of everything from grocery store vlogs to breakups and celebrity scandals on one scroll... it’s become a lot.

I talk about:

  • The psychic toll of sharing a platform with trauma content

  • Why I don’t always post about the news and why that’s not avoidance

  • Remembering your role: Are you here to yell… or to weave?

  • Instagram as a hall of mirrors (and how to opt out of the distortion)

  • What I do in the mornings to protect my channel

  • The importance of platform boundaries and algorithm hygiene

  • How to reclaim your voice without collapsing into guilt or comparison

  • The myth that you owe the world a repost, reaction, or explanation

If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, guilted, or like your light is getting lost in the scroll… this one’s for you.

Let’s talk about what it means to lead with creative frequency (not reactivity) and to design a future that isn’t built on fear.
