I loved Create Anyway as well!

I took most of Oct-Dec off of IG last year, and it was good for me. I thought I would be so excited to get back on, but it was pretty anticlimactic. It really changed my overall habits with the app.

Thanks for sharing! I think a break will be helpful for me too.

Of course! I’m feeling so seen and inspired by your book. Thanks for writing it! ❤️ And nooo don’t tell me that. I want this crisis to end. Haha!

I've taken a couple of month long breaks--and they were so worth it! I was amazed at how much I was able to do during that month, and then I really didn't want to go back either time. I deleted the app from my phone randomly last week, and now I'm wondering if it's going to turn into a longer break. TBD.

Yes! I have done that in the past and had the same experience. I struggle because I really love the connections I’ve made there so I usually go back for that.

I totally feel you on the instagram identity crisis. I deleted the app late last year and have pretty much forgotten about it. I like to download it every now and then to watch a few funny reels, post about my newsletter or share a quick story but it no longer feels like an obligation to be there.

Thanks for sharing! I had a feeling I wasn’t alone on the identity crisis thing.
