170: The social media wake-up call: rebuilding connection beyond the algorithm

See this content in the original post

What happens when one platform you’ve built your business on suddenly disappears?

In this episode of The Essential Shift Podcast, I’m sharing what I learned when my Instagram and Facebook accounts suddenly went dark - years of content, connections, and community conversations vanished in an instant. While I was able to get them back (so grateful to the person who helped me!) but two days later lost it all again, this unexpected pause is a wake-up call.

As social media fell silent, something else flourished:
✨ Deeper conversations in The Circle
✨ More engagement on LinkedIn
✨ Authentic exchanges in our email community

This experience inspired me to rethink where and how I show up online. For the next few months, I’m shifting how I share content and build community - not just moving platforms, but creating intentional spaces where we can have the deeper conversations our souls are craving. I hope it helps you re-think your marketing mindset.
