Summary

Ladies, Do you need Instagram to grow your online business? Welp. It's been six weeks since my Instagram detox started. I did 30 days full out. ZERO Instagram presence. And the last two weeks I've been on for a total of about 30 minutes. Lol. And, those 30 minutes were, to be honest, triggering and high anxiety for me. I am still discerning through what God wants me to do in the future. If I am called to lay it down and delete IG completely, or if God wants me to have a business presence there to lead others. He always provides a clear path, so stay tuned. For now, I have decided to stop using it for personal reasons and only share my podcast episodes. My team has taken over my account 100% and I am not planning on re-installing the app on my phone at this time. It's super freeing. LIBERATING! I love that my business grew, my podcast grew, and my list grew. All without SOCIAL. Yes and amen. My friend Ellie Conklin said to me today, 'I refuse to be addicted, blind, bound in shackles, and worshiping a smartphone. I repent!' My sentiments EXACTLY. I am working through how I feel about sharing my stuff there as I discern though if that actually HELPS my Lola, or if it hurts her. Anyway, I will continue to keep you updated! I pray this blesses you. Xo, Stef Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast? Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!

0:05.2	I just have to say, not being on Instagram really opens you up for using your time more wisely and using it in ways that actually build your business. It's just amazing.
0:17.5	So why I'm hanging out with y'all on a Friday, happy Friday, by the way, and oh my goodness,

0:44.4	that, I think it would be so awesome for you to dig in and listen to that because it was so,
0:51.4	so surreal, like the transformation that happened, the revelation that happened,

1:09.3	just hanging out with me today for the first time
1:11.1	wondering what I'm talking about. So I did a full out Instagram detox and it was just incredible.
1:16.6	Like the amount of time that I saved off of my phone by week four, my phone usage was down roughly
1:23.8	40%. 40%. You guys. And that's a tactical number because you can actually go into your
1:30.0	settings and you can take a look. If you scroll down into your screen time in the settings,
1:37.1	click on that and then you click see all activity. It will tell you what your usage is and how your
1:43.5	usage looks compared to the prior week. So like right
1:45.9	now today, it says I'm down 7% from last week. Well, the week before that, I was down 15%. The week
