Reading this helped a remembering in my heart! As I come through a winter void space and emerge again into the virtual ether of the interwebs - I am feeling a desire to prune my field, to tune IN with what I am offering and listen with what feels the MOST nourishing. I was having a wondering about Podcast vs Substack Pieces that are Voice Recording focused. I had asked myself this morning, if I lean into Substack being a space for my personal journey reflections - what could my podcast evolve into? And you nailed it - INTO conversational journeys that my Soul is calling to synergize with- to let it be for the nourishment of the experience. Your share about bravely reaching IN to the folks you are drawn to have an enriching conversation with felt truly inspiring!
This resonated so much with me this morning, thank you. I too have been thinking about how I’d like to nurture my own local community more and spend less time with surface connections online.
I have also met some incredible people through social media that I am now friends with irl. Online can be a great starting point, but it’s very easy to get caught up in this being the only way, it can feel safer and less risker. I am trying to put some things in place to separate my connection with the phone so I can be more ‘here’ in the moment. Thanks for the thoughtful post x
Listening to that inner voice and following one’s intuition is so important and yet so easy to stray from. There is so much noise!
Thanks for heeding the call and following your heart lead and then expressing your intentions about doing so. It’s a reminder for us all to tune into our soul’s desires.
I love this image of the deep net. I feel like my net is currently wide and shallow as well. This has provoked a lot of thoughts for me. Thank you for sharing!
So much truth and wisdom here dear Eva. Your approach sounds so aligned and beautiful in order to deepen relationships, so much respect for this. I too, have found some distance with Instagram recently, mainly I think due to not playing along with the algorithm and finding myself seemingly in a void (whilst also following (too) many accounts!). I am fine with the way I’m using it at the moment, as a sort of portfolio with signposts to Substack where I feel a much richer sense of connection but at the same time perhaps a big clear out of accounts I am following and an aim to connect there too would feel good. I love the sound of the new approach with your podcast and can’t wait to listen to your chat with the wonderful Laura Durban! xx ps thank you so much for the mention and for joining me as an INSIDER, it was so nourishing to have you as a part of the series xx
Wow what a beautiful declaration and intentions! Happy bee beginning and emergence Mama dragon 🐉 and thank you for an amazing conversation, I feel like knowing you for so much longer than just a couple of months and hope to continue growing this connection
Love this Eva! Personally social media has shifted so much for me. During 2020 when I first became a stay at home mom and during a pandemic it was a life boat for me. Like you I formed friendships and connections that I will forever cherish. I wouldn’t have been able to meet you in person at The Pause if it weren’t for social media!
But now I’m resonating with it just being a lot. Too much. Not contributing to how I want to feel about my life. I’m not proud to admit it but I have spent a fair amount of time worrying about who does and does not follow me, like my posts, etc. Which feels very “MySpace Top 8” and is a part of my life I gladly left behind. 😂 Anxiously logging into the app and feeling even more anxious logging out of it.
I started keeping my phone plugged in the other room after dinner and don’t touch it until my eyes first see sunlight the next day. That has been wonderful but it “re-villaging” feels in order too.

This really resonates Eva! While not having the words myself right now, yours really spoke to my heart 💖 village is one of my words for this year.

And I enjoyed the call too ;)

This way of approaching social media feels like renewal for our digital age. What a treat to come across this post in my inbox this morning! x

Farai, I would love to explore if there is something that pulls us both in to talk about on my Podcast this year!
Sure! I can message you!
