I wanted community but ended up in a fish bowl — everyone watching but hearing nothing but silence.

I have felt this! And so understand. The amount of times people don’t ask how I’m doing because they assume they know due to an Instagram story is wild.

I actually found you through a Substack hashtag on Instagram so I’m glad I did before you left.

I’m currently in my Instagram exit strategy.

Taking 6-12 months to guide people here to Substack then saying goodbye.

I have so appreciated so much of what social media has allowed for our family. AND I can’t see it as a part of our future

Instagram breeds unhealthy curiosity. I used to love the app, but have grown to dislike it. I'm a better mom & wife without it!
