Off The Grid: Leaving Social Media

Today I’m thrilled to have Kailea Rose Loften and Kate Rose Weiner of Loam on the podcast to discuss their new book, Compassion in Crisis, which just came out with Heyday Books.

Together we have a gentle, honest, and deep conversation exploring:
The meaning of ‘polycrisis’
Why it’s important to think about preparedness
Ways to prepare without slipping into hypervigilance (even if you’re an anxious person)
The role social media plays in both community building and community surveillance
Why we still turn to social media for resource sharing and rapid response
The spread of misinformation & disinformation online during disasters
Publishing as a way of getting ‘off the grid’
Free Family Preparedness Information from Summer Starr
 
If you enjoy this episode, please get yourself a copy of Compassion in Crisis! You can also join Kate & Kailea for book-related events across the US this summer!

Today I’m bringing you something really special—

A mini-coaching session where I answer a question about how to grow your email list before, during, and after leaving social media.
The question comes from the wonderful Kate of Queen Bee Hormone Health who wrote to me and asked:
"Thanks to Off the Grid, I’ve backed wayyyy off posting on social media. I feel so much better, but I'm really struggling to get people moved onto my email list and wondering what advice you have for this part of the process? I don’t want to just ghost everyone. But I’m ready to get off the platform."
I share the question and a few thoughts here, but to hear exactly how I’d help Kate leave social media and grow her email list... you have to join the Clubhouse at offthegrid.fun/clubhouse!
When you do, you'll get access to over 50 bonus episodes (and counting), curated tech + creative business newsletters, and more. Plus your own private podcast feed, comments threads, and behind-the-scenes updates on the show.

I often say I left social media because I was anxiously-attached to Instagram… but what does that actually mean?!
Today I’m joined by psychotherapist and author Shannon Algeo to explore why Attachment Theory explains so much about technology and smartphone addiction.
We discuss their new book, The Power in Your Hands, as we talk about:
What it means to be anxious, avoidant, or securely-attached
How algorithms hack our attachment needs to get us addicted to platforms
Why it’s so harmful to outsource self-trust to social media or AI
Depth psychology & why human relationships are necessary for healing
 
⭐️ If you’re curious about these topics, please join us for a FREE BOOK CLUB with Shannon on June 10th! We’ll talk more about attachment + technology. No reading is required. Find the details and RSVP here.

Today I’m doing something fun and different…
Live-writing an AI policy with my friend and colleague, Dr. Kate Henry of Honing In!
After listening to the Off the Grid AI series, Kate reached out to ask if I she could hire me to help her write an AI policy. I said no, because I’m not doing 1:1 advising right now… but I proposed that we record a chat about it for the Clubhouse instead!
So in this video and audio episode, you get to join me and Kate as we co-write the first draft of her AI policy for her business. 
Free subscribers can hear our reflections on AI in creative business, and paid subscribers get to come along as we write Kate’s AI policy in real time (with a template for you, too!).

When you join the Clubhouse at offthegrid.fun/clubhouse, you'll get access to over 50 bonus episodes (and counting), curated tech + creative business newsletters, and more. Plus your own private podcast feed, comments threads, and behind-the-scenes updates on the show.
