Leaving Instagram or Exiting the Portal of the Validation Loop

Common Shapes

Welcome to season two of Common Shapes! Since last season, I took a big step in my life and logged out of Instagram for good.

So in this episode, I’m going to share why I left and how I did it. Not from a place of knowing-it-all, but by asking the question, “what does it actually mean to be done with social media?”

I hope this episode inspires you to take supportive steps that are right for you. Tune in to learn about—

• What it’s like to leave Instagram
• The portal of the validation loop
• A big business success moment since leaving
• Is Substack social media?
• Weaving the personal, poetic & political
