What if giving up social media could give you back your focus, creativity, and peace of mind?

In this episode, Sarah welcomes a very special guest: Amelia Hruby, PhD, writer, podcaster, founder of Softer Sounds, and author of the forthcoming book Your Attention Is Sacred (Except on Social Media) (out October 1, 2025). Amelia (also the editor of Moonbeaming!) shares her journey of leaving social media, building a thriving podcast studio, and creating a more intentional relationship with the internet.

Together, we explore the fears, myths, and realities of stepping away from platforms, why it’s not a one-size-fits-all process, and how business owners and creatives can reimagine marketing and connection off the grid.

You’ll hear:

• Why leaving social media can spark a creative “glow up”
• The two essential questions every business owner should ask about their online presence
• How fears of being unseen, forgotten, or left out show up when considering leaving platforms
• Signs that social media may be draining your energy or blocking your intuition
• Practical strategies for running a business without relying on algorithms
• Ways to reclaim the joy of the internet beyond social media

From the personal to the practical, this conversation offers tools and perspectives to help you step into more agency with your digital life, creativity, and business.
