Off The Grid: Leaving Social Media

Let’s be more transparent about how we are and aren’t using AI in our work!
In this episode, I walk you through key considerations and a simple process for writing a thoughtful AI policy for your creative business.
You’ll also hear how I crafted the Interweb AI policy, as well as why I was really inspired by Mel Mitchell-Jackson’s AI policy in that process.

How are we feeling about AI these days, friends?

Ambivalent? Over it? Hopefully curious? 🧐

Today on the show, we’re kicking off a 3-week AI series, where we’ll explore the good, bad and ugly of LLMs.

Our first guest is Mel Mitchell-Jackson — who returns to the show to share their practice of AI Sobriety.

We get into why AI is a labor issue, how it’s impacting our creativity, and why we’re hopeful that locally-hosted small language models might save the day.

We also talk about addiction, accessibility, and why I’m practicing GPT-sobriety this year.

If you’ve had a tough 2026 so far, this episode is for you.

Today, I’m sharing a nuanced and practical chat with Akua Nyame-Mensah about how we can move from a reactive to a reflective mindset and shift our trajectory in the process.
Tune in to hear Akua’s advice for changing the narrative of your business — without repressing or ignoring what’s happening in the world (or your body or your bank account).
I also share some examples of how I reshaped my relationship to money through storytelling and ritual.
You can hear the whole conversation in the Clubhouse right here. Thanks to Akua for joining me on the show!

Let’s talk about how bad social media really is for our mental health and relationships. 🫠

In this honest and vulnerable conversation, Natalie Lue of Baggage Reclaim helps us dig into:
Growing up without the internet
Realizing social media is a toxic, codependent relationship
How your subconscious “goes shopping for flaws and failures” while you scroll
The problems with hate-following
How to quit stalking ourselves, our friends, our exes, and total strangers online
Why we shop more when we’re active on Instagram or TikTok
Reclaiming your sense of self away from social media
Why it’s not your fault if you can’t cope with using the apps
   
This one goes out to anyone struggling with the harms of social media. Listen to the full episode on Baggage Reclaim here.
