What happens when Instagram just… disappears from your phone?
That’s exactly what happened to me—and what followed was a clarity I didn’t expect. No plan, no break announcement—just a two-month detox that forced me to rethink how I use social media in my business.
In this episode, I’m sharing what I discovered from the outside: how my content got better, why no one noticed I was gone, and how I finally stopped using Instagram as a stand-in for connection.
If you're feeling drained by social media or wondering if it’s still worth your time, this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why losing Instagram access was the clarity I didn’t know I needed
- What changed in my business when posting wasn’t easy anymore
- The truth about “visibility” (spoiler: no one noticed I was gone)
- How digital detox exposed my subconscious scrolling habits
- The surprising way I started using Facebook again—and why I stopped

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
