Summary
In this week's episode, Natalie shares what she's learned from ten months of being on a social media diet. What started off as temporarily deleting Facebook from her phone so that she could finish her book last November, became an experiment in discovering whether her life, both personal and business, would fall apart and be that much worse off without being on social media. In short, the answer was.... no.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to episode 96 of the Baggage Reclaim sessions. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm your host Natalie Lou, the writer of Baggage reclaimed.com, where I help people to increase their emotional availability |
| 0:14.9 | so that they can move on from the past, feel confidence and happier within, and show up for the |

| 0:26.0 | Well, hello there. |
| 0:28.0 | I'm back after an expected one episode break |
| 0:31.0 | as my brother who edits the podcast has been away for a couple of |
| 0:34.8 | weeks and it was all a bit of a juggle in terms of getting the shows edited and I |

| 1:40.7 | want to feel and how you want to continue feeling. |
| 1:43.0 | Some of you may recall, if you are a long time listener, |
| 1:47.0 | that back in episode 64 at the beginning of December 2016, I shared about how I had begun this social media diet. |
