Summary

About three months ago, I went completely off of social media. I have a lot of people asking me on a daily basis through my email whether or not I regret leaving social media, or if I wish I was still on there. So, in today’s episode, I will be talking about what that experience has been like and how my life has changed since making this decision. Throughout the mini-series on my social media experience, I wanted to give the opportunity for listeners to submit any questions they had in regards to leaving social media or influencing as a whole. I had a lot of people actually send me their own experience with social media, how they have felt since leaving, and what it's done for them and their life. So throughout this episode, you will hear audio clips from these people from my community. Thank you to everyone who sent in messages. I just have loved hearing from every single one of you that has been willing and courageous enough to share your story. These stories are extremely powerful, and I think they will really hit home as you listen.

0:23.4	Hi Lindsey, I can't believe I'm actually sending you this but I just felt compelled to share how
0:29.3	you've pushed me to get off social media and I just want to encourage others to be honest with
0:35.1	themselves. I think the hardest part is saying I am addicted. There's so much shame in that you
0:40.8	feel guilty or you just don't think you're at that point yet and you think I got to handle on this.
0:45.6	I can put it down but if we're honest with ourselves we are addicted. So I gave up all forms of
0:52.1	social media kind of with your inspiration or inspiration from you for this year. I started
0:59.5	making family newsletters once a month and I share it to friends and family that I know
1:04.8	intimately via email once a month and the reaction from friends and family has been amazing
1:11.1	and you realize there are your own relatives that don't even know the ins and outs of your life
1:17.2	because you're not having these deep conversations otherwise and you just think you know because
1:21.3	you saw a picture on Instagram or whatever so it's been amazing and I'm compiling them to save
1:28.3	into a book for my own girls for them to look at later on what we did that month in our best
1:33.4	memories and photos and the people who matter have access to this and it's just not a superficial

1:55.7	about my experience being off of social media for the past three months now and just what it's
