Podcasts about social media detox

In this conversation with Dr Erin Bowe, we talk about what happens when women in their 30s and 40s reach the point where they can’t keep pretending "everything’s fine". We explore the rise in late ADHD and autism diagnoses, the emotional toll of constantly holding it together, and what it means to finally step out from behind the mask.Dr Erin shares her insights as a clinical psychologist, author, and business coach, helping women understand the link between overwhelm, trauma, and the deep need to feel safe enough to be themselves.This episode is for every woman who’s ever wondered why she can’t keep up the way she used to- and for the woman who knows it’s time to rebuild her life in a way that feels real.

Send us a textWhat if your job title isn't who you are, and the real proof of character shows up in the choices you make when no one is watching? We dig into that question through the lens of recovery, responsibility, and the everyday habits that either build integrity or break it down. From asking for help to making amends, we unpack how sober clarity turns micro resentments into momentum and why quiet, ten-minute pauses can reveal more about your life than an hour of doom scrolling.I share the uncomfortable truths I had to face: fear of rejection, low self-worth, and the cost of not asking for what I need at work and at home. We talk through a simple silence practice to cut through noise, the opportunity cost of social media, and the subtle ways outrage hijacks attention. Then we connect those lessons to sales, where pressure and shortcuts often masquerade as skill. You'll hear a practical script for presenting honest options without manipulation, how to ask better questions when a customer says no, and why feedback—however painful—becomes your fastest lever for growth.This conversation is a call to choose the long game: integrity over shortcuts, responsibility over blame, and curiosity over fear. If you've ever felt weighed down by tiny resentments, stuck in distraction loops, or tempted to sell something you wouldn't sell to your own mom, this is your reset. Listen, reflect, then pick one honest action today—one amends, one ask, one small promise kept in the dark. If this resonated, subscribe, leave a quick review, and share it with someone who needs a nudge toward better choices. Your future self will thank you.

Why do complete strangers online make you angrier than people you actually know?

Get practical tools to recognize bot manipulation and algorithmic targeting before they radicalize your thinking.

My heart feels so heavy right now. Everywhere I turn, whether it's Facebook, X, or even LinkedIn, I see a wave of social media toxicity and division that leaves me feeling drained and heartbroken. It seems like we've forgotten how to have conversations. Instead, we're caught in an endless cycle of outrage, cancel culture, and online attacks that end up damaging not just our relationships but also our personal and professional reputations. We will talk about that in today's episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast. The truth is, the world feels more divided than ever in 2025, and the weight of global anxiety is showing up in how we treat each other online. When we post without thinking, when we lash out in anger, we're not just releasing stress in the moment, but also creating lasting damage to our brands, our businesses, and our own mental health. I don't have a magic solution, but I do believe we can choose differently. We can choose kindness when it feels easier to fight. We can lean into curiosity instead of judgment. We can create positive Ripples instead of amplifying the negativity that's already out there. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the noise online or worried about how what you post today might impact your future, listen until the end. I hope that it gives you perspective, maybe even a little hope, and reminds you that the Ripples we put into the world matter more than we think.   Ripple with Steve Harper  Instagram: http://instagram.com/rippleon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rippleon X: https://twitter.com/rippleon Website: http://www.ripplecentral.com   Stay in the loop by being a part of the Ripple mail list: https://ripplecentral.com/subscribe Be a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/SteveHarper Join our ever-growing community of Ripplers in The Pond: https://ripplecentral.com/pond To inquire about my availability for conference keynotes, corporate training, or performance coaching, please contact info@ripplecentral.com.   #podcast #podcasting #newpodcast #podcastepisode #podcastersofinstagram #podcastlife #podcastcommunity #spotify #applepodcasts #googlepodcasts #podcastrecommendation #podcastshow #businesspodcast #leadershippodcast #personaldevelopmentpodcast #mindsetpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #inspirationpodcast #professionalgrowth #rippleeffectpodcast

Instagram war lange ein fester Bestandteil meines Business. Doch irgendwann habe ich gemerkt: Der Aufwand, die Ablenkungen und der Druck stehen in keinem Verhältnis mehr zu dem, was es mir wirklich bringt. In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, warum ich mich entschieden habe, Instagram loszulassen – und wie sich mein Zeitmanagement und mein Alltag dadurch verändert haben. Vielleicht findest du darin auch Impulse für dich: Was in deinem Alltag frisst mehr Zeit und Energie, als es dir tatsächlich zurückgibt?

This week on Imagination State, we are joined by Amelia Hruby - feminist writer, podcaster, and creator of Off the Grid, a podcast and community for people reclaiming their attention from social media. With Off the Grid and as the founder of Softer Sounds, Amelia helps artists and entrepreneurs build thriving creative lives beyond the extractive attention economies of social media. A former philosophy professor and the author of Fifty Feminist Mantras, Amelia's work spans feminist philosophy, digital well-being, and spiritual practice.In our conversation, Amelia revisits her imagination origins, from her early days in North Carolina to Chicago, where activism, feminist theory, and community radio reshaped her worldview and creative practice. She shares how she came to see social media as fundamentally misaligned with her values of liberation, gentleness, and integrity and what happened when she finally decided to leave. We talk about imagination and attention: what we lose when we outsource our creativity to platforms, what opens up when we escape, and how podcasts and voice can create spaces of connection that resist the flattening effects of screen living.This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered what we give up when we spend one month of every year in billionaire-controlled social media landscapes, and what becomes possible when we step into a different world altogether.Imagination Invitation:Amelia invites you to keep a “should diary.” For one day, write down every time you think I should… or I shouldn't. Then revisit the list to notice which “shoulds” are truly yours, and which come from systems and expectations outside of you. This is a self-liberation invitation.Mentioned:Amelia Hruby's podcast: Off the GridOff the Grid theme song by Melissa Kaitlyn CarterSofter Sounds, Amelia's feminist podcast studioAmelia's first book Fifty Feminist MantrasAmelia's upcoming book (Fall 2025) Your Attention is Sacred Except on Social MediaIdeas?

Zac and Jay are keeping it in-house this time, pulling back the curtain on the podcast's growth and the community they're working to build. With a plant doling out life lessons and Zac's self-imposed social media ban (for now), they dive into how stepping back from the online world has been a game-changer for his mental health. They also get real about marijuana – why it's not always as harmless as it seems, especially for younger people. Plus, they discuss the work it takes to break bad habits, find joy, and take care of yourself, even when life gets busy.Connect with Zachttps://www.instagram.com/zwclark/https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclarkhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553https://twitter.com/zacwclarkIf you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release Recovery:(914) 588-6564releaserecovery.com@releaserecovery

Hey Bestie, We're back! Listen… jetlag and schedule conflics are real. This week's episode is a catch-up at the house. I just got back from Bali, had a full-blown spiritual awakening (yes, there were tears in the ocean), and maybe met the love of my life… but he said he's not coming back to America soooo that's that.

We are going to do ONE final enrollment period in a few months and we answer some of your questions about this decision.The questions we answered in this ep:How are we feeling confident when it comes to the money side of this decision? Do we have savings? Other skills we can fall back on? Are we freaking out about this at all?Monthly coaching has been so valuable for our customers, why would we stop doing it?We talk about running a “calm business” does this completely change how calm things will be for us?Why should someone buy WAIM Unlimited during this last chance to purchase? Hope you enjoy hearing us discuss more of the real-time decision-making and thought process to this big shift in our business! ***

How do you really know when it's time to move on from an offer you've built your business around? In this episode, we're sharing the four indicators that helped us make the decision to wind down WAIM Unlimited—insights we hope will help you reflect on your own path.We dive into:What it feels like to fall out of love with your offer (and why that's not a failure)When your results no longer match your effort—and why that's worth paying attention toHow a strong pull toward something new can be a signal, not just a distractionWhy shifting life circumstances (hello, parenthood!) require more sustainable, aligned business modelsIf you've been feeling stuck, disconnected, or daydreaming about a new chapter, this one's for you. We'll help you ask the questions that matter and maybe, just maybe, give you the nudge to take that leap.

After six incredible years, we've decided to retire our flagship program, WAIM Unlimited (after one FINAL upcoming launch). In this episode, we're walking you through exactly why we're making this sizable change. Retiring WAIM Unlimited didn't come from burnout or panic… but from clarity, alignment, and a desire to move into our next chapter with intention. We've been business coaches for 72 months and we're excited to take things in a new direction!Here's what we cover in this ep:What a final enrollment will look like (May/June 2025)The real (and nuanced) reasons we're making this shift—from changing buyer behavior to our own creative evolutionWhat this means for current WAIM members (spoiler: NOT MUCH!)What the next 12 months will look like for us, including our final launch and plans for parental leaveA glimpse at what we're pivoting toward in 2026—and why we're genuinely excited to build from the ground up againThis episode is for anyone who's questioning a long-standing offer or wondering if it's time to let go of something that no longer fits. Your business can grow with you… if you let it.

Our latest WAIM Unlimited launch was smaller than expected, but instead of panicking, we're using it as a chance to adapt, experiment, and pivot. In this launch recap episode, we're breaking down:The details of our Spring 2025 launch (amidst first trimester, new 6-month option, and our very minimal marketing effort)Why we think sales were lower this time (hello, economic uncertainty, changing buyer behavior, and declining web traffic)What we're doing differently moving forward (getting back on social, refining our offers, and leaning into AI tools for creators)Our plans for WAIM Unlimited, Calm Launch Formula, and where we see our business evolving for the rest of 2025If you've ever had a launch that didn't go as planned, we hope this episode reminds you that business is an ever-changing game—and that reinvention is part of the process. Listen in for our takeaways and what's next for us!

This episode is a special one—because we're pregnant!

We want to help change that for you and we have 4 steps that ensure your launches are calm, profitable, and feel effortless.THE biggest mistake we see folks making when doing live launches is not enough planning and prep time (our own customer survey data showed 75% of people plan a launch in 4 weeks or less). Not giving yourself enough time leads to overwhelm, a lack of pre-marketing, and what we call a “floppy launch” (read: not many sales).We touch on four things in this episode that every launch needs to feel calmer while also driving more sales! We hope you walk away from this episode giving your next launch more lead-up time AND when your launch starts you are having that (stress-free!) twiddling-your-thumbs moment.

In this episode we unpack the profound connection between love, pain, and self-worth – inviting us to examine how deeply held beliefs shape our relationships and choices. I share personal reflections on dismantling the walls we build to protect ourselves – exploring the delicate interplay between vulnerability and growth. From leaving Instagram to rediscovering presence this conversation tackles the social and emotional consequences of living in a hyperconnected world. With insights on reclaiming authenticity, fostering true intimacy, and honoring personal healing, this episode encourages a conscious approach to crafting a life aligned with our deepest values.
