Life After Social Media: Gayle Macdonald's Transformative Year

I've got more time, more energy, more space, connections and friendships are deeper and more meaningful, and I'm not comparing myself to other people all the time. I make everything that I do and I feel more like myself and I've gained a lot more headspace.
Ever wondered what life would be like without the constant buzz of social media? Gayle Macdonald, the warm and insightful host of the 'Sober Bliss' podcast, took the plunge a year ago and ditched social media entirely. In this eye-opening episode, she shares how this bold decision has reshaped her life in unexpected ways. From finding more time for family and friends to discovering new depths in her personal growth, Gayle's journey offers a fresh perspective on living more intentionally.
One of the standout benefits Gayle experienced was the newfound quality time with her loved ones. Without the distraction of endless scrolling, she found herself more present and engaged in meaningful conversations and activities. Imagine having deeper connections with the people who matter most to you—that's what Gayle describes as one of the biggest perks of quitting social media. But it wasn't all smooth sailing.
Gayle candidly discusses the challenges she faced, especially in running her business without the usual social media tools. Yet, she found that by being more intentional and focused, she could still support her clients effectively and even saw better results. It's a testament to how sometimes less really can be more. Another fascinating aspect of Gayle's story is the impact on her mental health.
She talks about the relief of stepping away from the constant comparison game that social media often fuels. This break gave her more headspace and helped her feel more like herself. It's a reminder that sometimes, disconnecting can lead to a deeper connection with oneself. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by social media or wondered if it's holding you back, this episode is a must-listen.
Gayle's experience might just inspire you to take a break and see what positive changes could unfold in your own life.
