‘kay. so I might be a little obsessed with clicking the “refresh” button on my new email platform...

but you guys are making it worth it!

my cat gets a fright as I let out a wee shriek every time I see your names pop up! 😆

so I’ll be here, on the couch, scaring the kitty, waiting to see who else signs up before midnight tonight (11:59pm 30 sep).

it’s funny; yesterday, today couldn’t come soon enough. but now that bastard doubt is creeping in.

facebook’s business model doesn’t want us closing down our accounts... ever.

that’s why disabling them (tried that, didn’t work!) is so much easier and suggested at every click!

to delete is to lose everything - forever, even the right to use my business name should I ever want to reinstate my profile.

sigh. deep breaths as I remind myself to stay strong and channel this incredible energy, elsewhere.

so come midnight... I’m out.
these social pages will close down... for good.

it’s been fun here.
but time to let go.

hope to see ya on the emails!
much love, sades x

ps this new community is nothing short of AMAZING and filled with most gorgeous people thus far (many students but some incredible teachers and mentors of mine too!) click link below if you'd like to join us, the cat will be thrilled 🥴

one more sleep and then all social media for SWY will shut down.
I was feeling a little tentative at first, thinking about all the info I’ll lose -
but now, it can’t come soon enough. I am so ready to let this one go.
it was never about you guys,
I’ve had nothing but support here.
this is about the ‘machine’ behind my screen.
it’s about the AI that we no longer have control over.
the business model that’s made it impossible for us all to have a conversation on the topics that truly matter.
that’s divided us and polarised our beliefs.
that refuses to acknowledge the mental health of their moderators that can’t sleep due to what they witness during their 5000 clicks per DAY - some of the most heinous acts of our lives, on the daily.
because Facebook is the ONLY platform that doesn’t require a delay on their “fb lives” - by design.
because how we react in those first few seconds, minutes, to live massacres and suicides - our behaviour to that is recorded, and noted, and our very own psychology is used against us... because we can’t turn away.
and I just can’t support that anymore.
Facebook & Google will be the first to go (gmail & google calendar will be tough!)
YouTube for my kids will feel impossible - and it just might be (the restrictions I believe are purposefully problematic).
but we don’t have a choice. we have to try.
there’s an election coming up for my friends in the US and it’s possible they will lose their democracy - that’s largely due to social media.
and when you look out your window, and see the protests and the mess out there, it’s already happening here.
ps if you haven’t, watch on Netflix. if you don’t have access to netflix do a search on Tristan Harris (not a google search! try ecosia 😜)

I do have a project in the pipeline... that you won’t wanna miss 🤪



will it be possible to run a “successful” business without social media?

I honestly don’t know...
but I think it’s worth trying xx

ps check my post pinned at the top for more info on why I’m shutting social media down.

24/09/2020

social media compounds this issue with such prowess, no one is immune.

i’m choosing to shut it all down for so many reasons, but also because it’s just no longer enjoyable.

as much as I’ve tried, my feed is filled with subtle messages of “you’re not enough. you need me/my product to be a better human”.

it doesn’t leave me feeling empowered and capable, it leaves me feeling empty.

scrolling is like visiting my local shopping centre - only worse.

but how amazing my day is when I put this device away (as challenging as that is!)

i’m so excited about what a “social-media-free” life will look like, and how it will feel. it already feels incredibly liberating (as much as I binge beforehand!)

i’m excited about time better spent getting to know you via my email and my website.

i am so grateful for all the support given here... but it’s time to practice what I preach - and let go.

30 sep signifies the end, in one sense. but the beginning in another.

to stay in touch, to ask questions - together. to figure out how we can get better at living, together...

please stay with me and join this incredible community, via email.

simply click the link below and I’ll look forward to checking in with you there, next week 😘
