Episode Details

What does leaving social media look like when you’re used to using it for collaboration & business growth? And is it really possible for coaches and service providers to find new clients offline?

In this episode, I’m joined by D’Ana Joi, a coach for multi-passionate creatives. Together we discuss our journeys leaving Instagram and embracing more aligned ways of creating community and growing our businesses.

We dive deep into:

• The fears that come up when you think about leaving social media
• All the ways your creative energy returns once you get offline
• How Joi finds coaching clients without social media — and exactly how many she’s booked since she left IG with the help of Off the Grid!
• The joy of creating organic community in your daily life & work

This episode is great if you’re considering leaving social media, but aren’t sure that the benefits will outweigh the drawbacks. Tune in for a big ole permission slip to do business your way. 🎟
