The Social Media Burnout Epidemic (And How to Break Free) - "Beyond the Algorithm" Series Part 1

Welcome to Beyond the Algorithm, where we are breaking up with social media burnout and taking back our time. If you’ve ever found yourself posting just to stay “relevant” or obsessing over why your engagement dropped for no reason (seriously, Instagram, what is your deal?)—this episode is for you. Because let’s be real—social media exhaustion is REAL. And nobody wants to admit it, but everyone is feeling it.

So today, we’re talking about:

  • Why we’re all secretly over it
  • The science behind why social media is literally designed to keep you stuck
  • Red flags you’re in toxic social media hustle mode
  • And how to actually market your business without playing the algorithm game
