This is the live replay of my Substack Live call from March 22, 2025, where I talk through what leaving the feeds actually changes — and what it doesn’t.
In this live video I cover:
• Why “posting more” wasn’t helping my creative work
• Reclaiming attention and momentum without Instagram, TikTok, or X
• How newsletters + websites beat algorithms long-term
• What fills the void when you stop scrolling
• Audience growth that isn’t dependent on social platforms
• Community > metrics, conversations > likes
• The emotional side of stepping away (fear of disappearing, FOMO, identity)
• Rebuilding trust with your own ideas when the noise is gone
• Sustainable marketing that doesn’t burn you out
• How I think about YouTube without getting sucked into the feed mindsetIf you’re tired of chasing algorithms and want to build something more sustainabl this replay might help.
Tired of shouting into the void? In this live workshop, we dive deep into practical, no-fluff strategies for actually getting people to pay attention to the amazing stuff you’re making—without sounding like a pushy salesperson.
We cover:
• Why “I just released a thing!” isn’t enough
• How to let your work do the talking (yes, even without a big following)
• Easy ways to reshare old posts that still hit
• Embedding your media so people actually consume it
• What to say instead of “Sorry I haven’t posted in a while…”It’s all about creating smarter, more human ways to promote your art, writing, music, or projects—especially on platforms like Substack, where your words matter.
Whether you’re a photographer, musician, writer, or curator—this is for you.

I help creative people quit social media, promote their work in sustainable ways, and rethink how a website and newsletter can work together. Find out more here. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
