Why Join the Social Media Sabbatical?
What if your next big breakthrough came not from your next post… but from your next pause?
The Social Media Sabbatical is a journey to rediscover your peace, presence, and purpose by stepping away from the endless scroll — and stepping inward.
This isn’t just a detox.
It’s a reconnection.
You’ll learn to replace dopamine-driven scrolling with stillness, meditation, and creativity — rebuilding your nervous system, your confidence, your intuition - and your sense of self.
My Story: From Sobriety to Digital Freedom
In 2019, I quit alcohol — and it completely changed my life.
My sober journey helped me reconnect to my intuition, my purpose, and my true self. But over time, I realized something surprising: I’d replaced one addiction with another.
I went alcohol-free via a Facebook community - and every time I felt lonely, bored, anxious or was craving alcohol - I'd scroll on Facebook or Instagram. It soon moved towards Tik Tok, too.
I was no longer numbing with wine - I was numbing with the scroll.
(If you read my book, Sober Yoga Girl, you can probably spot my Instagram issues from a mile away!)
I knew Instagram was the issue (much like in 2019, I knew alcohol was the issue.)
But this time, I couldn’t find any real communities to support me. There were so many amazing online circles for sober-curious people to quit drinking alcohol - but nothing for people to walk away from or take a break from social media!
I found ITAA (Internet and Technology Addicts Anonymous), but it didn’t quite capture what I was seeking - a spiritual space to heal my relationship with technology and rediscover who I was without an audience - while continuing to navigate running a business!
Over the past calendar year I’ve gone through long, beautiful streaks of being completely off social media - sometimes for months at a time.
Each time, I felt incredibly aligned: my sleep improved, my creativity flourished, and ironically, my online yoga business did better than ever. I felt grounded, peaceful, and fully in my dharma.
But every time I reconnected with my online sober friends — most of whom I originally met through social media — I found myself getting pulled back into the hamster wheel. I’d start posting again “just a little,” and within days I was back in comparison mode, sleeping worse, scrolling late into the night, and feeling my sense of peace fade away.
That’s when I knew I needed to get serious about it.
Not just a break.
A Sabbatical.
A full year offline to reclaim my time, my attention, and my creativity.
And I thought — why not bring all of you along with me for this?
Because I know I’m not alone. So many of us feel trapped between the pull of connection and the need for stillness. We crave real relationships, deeper creativity, and time for what truly matters.
So I created The Social Media Sabbatical — a sacred online (and offline) community for conscious women, creatives, and seekers who want to live fully, not filtered.
This is a space for people who are done with digital dependency and ready to return to presence, purpose, and peace.

Add-On: The Entrepreneur Circle
Build a Slow, Soulful Business - Without Social Media
One of the most common things I hear from people who want to go off social media is:
“But I need it for my business.”
I know, I get it. I was there too - for many years!
I was terrified to leave social media. But the truth for me was - when I finally stepped away from social media I didn't lose opportunities - I actually attracted more of them! My mental health improved, my creativity returned, and I made more money - not less!
If you’re a yoga teacher, coach, healer, or wellness entrepreneur, you’ve probably felt this too — that tension between craving peace and needing to promote.
But here’s the truth:
The most sustainable, fulfilling businesses grow from authentic connection, word-of-mouth trust, and aligned presence — not endless posting.
Introducing the Sober Entrepreneurs Circle
An intimate, biweekly mastermind for those walking the path of slow, conscious business. It's a six month long community - because this work is slow and soulful. It won't happen over night.
This is a space to build from your intuition — not your algorithm.
Together, we’ll:
-
Set intentional, sustainable goals that feel good for your nervous system.
-
Talk through setbacks and self-doubt that come up as you grow.
-
Share creative, non-digital ways to attract and serve your community.
-
Celebrate progress and hold each other accountable with compassion.
This is where you bring your business visions into alignment with your spiritual practice — and discover that stepping off the scroll can actually help you earn more by doing less.

Benefits Of A Digital Detox & Daily Meditation Practice
Natural Mental Health Regulation
When you step away from the constant scroll, your nervous system finally gets quiet enough to breathe.
Meditation replaces external noise with internal stillness — reducing anxiety, comparison, and information overload.
You sleep better, think clearer, and begin to feel grounded in your own rhythm again.
Become Deeply Intuitive & Creative
Without algorithms hijacking your attention, your mind stops reacting — and starts receiving.
Through meditation, new ideas surface effortlessly.
You begin to trust your intuition more than analytics, and your creativity flows from genuine inspiration rather than pressure.
Build Real Confidence - Not Performed Confidence
Social media teaches us to curate our worth; meditation helps us remember it.
As your self-awareness grows, you no longer seek validation through likes or followers.
You feel fulfilled from within — and that quiet confidence transforms how you show up in your relationships, work, and art.
Attract Opportunities that Feel Aligned
When you’re centered and clear, you magnetize people and possibilities that match your energy.
You begin to see that you don’t need to “market harder” — you simply need to be more present.
Opportunities, clients, and collaborations start finding you because your energy is calm, grounded, and authentic.
“Quiet the mind, and the soul will speak.”
