Breaking Free: The Art of Real-Life Unfollowing

Ever scroll through an Instagram feed and hit "unfollow" without thinking twice? Why is it so much harder to do the same in real life? This episode tackles the radical art of real-life unfollowing – giving you permission to outgrow relationships, jobs, expectations, and even versions of yourself that no longer serve you.

With characteristic candor and compassion, I share my personal journey of outgrowing a friendship built on Olympic-level complaining and the grief that came with recognizing when something once treasured no longer fits. You'll discover practical signs that it might be time to unfollow someone or something: feeling small after interactions, dreading meetups, inability to be authentic, and that telling physical discomfort your body uses to signal misalignment.

We're not just talking about friendships. From the comparison trap on social media to soul-crushing hustle culture that glorifies burnout ("Because nothing says 'I'm doing great' like crying in the car between meetings"), this episode breaks down all the things worthy of your unfollow – including outdated expectations of who you "should" be and advice that once served you but now constrains you.

For my fellow recovering people-pleasers, hear this message loud and clear: kindness is not the same as self-abandonment. You can respect someone deeply and still decide their energy no longer serves you. You can have history with a job, friend, or mentor and still walk away without guilt. Unfollowing isn't rejection – it's redirection toward what's aligned with who you're becoming.

Ready to scroll through your life like it's your feed and decide what deserves to stay? This episode gives you both permission and practical steps to make space for what truly fills your cup. Because defining what you don't want makes more room for what you do want – and that's where your mojo truly shines.
