Social media is just not helping me.

It’s not helping me grow my business and it’s not helping me experience my life.

When social media started I was just starting college and it was primarily away to connect with people I was meeting in school to connect with people I was meeting in my life and to build and sustain friendships there and…

I don’t know what social media is for anymore.

I’ve been trying to use it in a lot of ways: to find new people to connect with, and to grow my business, to explore my creativity...

With a couple of very beautiful exceptions. I have determined that this is not where I want to be spending my time moving forward.

There are a lot of beautiful, smart, and insightful content creators that I admire and that I love to watch.

And there are a lot of people I’ve met on social media who are amazing and I’m so glad to have in my life.

Scratch that. That’s not true there’s not a lot of you there’s like maybe three, but you are really great.

I’ll still be on a few platforms for my business -specifically for work- and I’m coming off of it for everything else.

I don’t wanna observe other people living their lives anymore.

I wanna live mine.

And if you are seeing this and you realize that we’re not in touch other than on social media, this is your chance make it known: comment here and let me know how you want to stay in touch because I am down for it.

I am down for handwritten letters or weekly phone calls or Zoom chats or whatever you wanna do or… oh my gosh: meeting up in person for things!!!

But from now on social media is not where it’s at. At least not for me.

I’m gonna leave this post up till the end of the week to make sure that if you want to see it, you see it and after that I’m gonna go ahead and delete my accounts.

If you’re following my business (Megan Gillman, Good Girl Deprogramming Coach)

-You can find me on YouTube or

-you can find me on… LinkedIn (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit)

​

Oh! And there is always my website which is megangillman.net​

I am super nervous about this.

I am worried this might be a huge mistake.

And I am ridiculously excited about what this could be for my life and my relationships.

And over the past five or so years of coaching myself and coaching others, I have come to know that this intersection of Nervous and Optimistic Excitement is a pretty clear sign that I should act.

See you in the real world

<3 Megan
