Episode Transcript 🇬🇧:

Happy New Moon, everyone and thank you for being here today.

Before we begin today’s episode, as always, I would like to acknowledge the Wadandi People, the traditional custodians of the land I’m speaking from today. And it’s April now. So that means it’s time to announce a new monthly challenge that I’m going to tackle this month. And this month, I have come up with an idea that is related to my newest book which is going to come out in a couple of weeks from now.

The book is called “The Age Of Elephants”, and to give you a very quick overview of the book. It’s about Grace Thompson. She’s a career-obsessed journalist from bustling London who gets challenged to report on Mardy Adler, who is an alleged elephant whisperer in South Africa, and Grace is dead certain from the start that Mardy is just a fraud. But then, as soon as she gets to South Africa, she encounters things she can’t explain, but she also encounters nature and as a result, she encounters herself. And soon, she needs to question a lot of what she thought she knew.

The April Challenge:

And it’s because of this book that I chose my challenge for the month of April, which will be… drumroll… talking with animals, which is related to my character Mardy Adler in the bookm who can allegedly talk to elephants and all other kinds of wild animals.

This is quite literally a challenge for me because I don’t have pets. I would love to have a dog; I would love to have all kinds of pets. But we’re currently living in a place that’s full of wildlife, so we’re not allowed to have pets. But also, at this stage, I’m still travelling quite a lot because of, you know, my husband and I have family all over the world. So it just wouldn’t be practical. I just couldn’t… I just couldn’t leave the dog behind for such a long time. But it is something that is going to happen eventually. Anyway, I digress.

So it is literally a challenge for me because I don’t have pets.

It’s a lot easier when you have a dog or a cat that you’re exposed to everyday and that you can talk to. But I’m going to try anyway, like I said we live in a wildlife area. So the one thing that’s not in short supply here is birds and kangaroos and we have a family of possums that lives in our roof. So yeah, that’s the challenge to give you to give you a heads up already, I do not expect to come back to you after only three weeks and be fluent in kangaroo. That’s not what I’m aiming for here. It takes a long time to establish that connection. And also, you need to become really still, it’s a lot about meditation, becoming quiet. And my life has been incredibly busy lately, which is also partly why I want to do this challenge. I want to tune into nature. I want to get real quiet. And while probably after three weeks I don’t expect to have massive results for you in terms of messages I received from nature, I want to give the stage to, or share knowledge from other people that I’ve researched for my book and also for this challenge: Animal communicators and how they go about their work, because there’s some incredible people out there who can do some pretty pretty amazing things, and I think it’s the perfect thing, yeah, to tackle during my rewilding year, and I’m absolutely looking forward to it.

Mercury Retrograde: A time to get quiet

Yeah, like I said, I really need the peace and quiet. It’s also a good time because right now it’s Mercury retrograde. And so it’s a really good time. To unplug, get away from technology, from smartphones, and yeah, just get really quiet out in nature. So that’s it. That’s the challenge for this month. I’ve been doing it already for a week and I’m going to do it for another two weeks until the full moon episode.

Today’s topic: Unplug from toxic social media & embrace feminine joyful living

And now we come to today’s topic, and if you listened to the last episode, I already announced that I was going to make a whole episode about something I’ve recently discovered, which is still pretty fresh and pretty raw. And I’m still learning about it as we speak, but it had quite the big impact on me and I was really excited to share what I have, what I’ve discovered and what I’ve recently learned with you. So apologies if it’s still a bit messy and if it’s a bit all over the place. I try to structure as I tried to structure it as best as I can.

But yeah, you probably saw already the title of this week’s episodes, we’re going to talk about social media and the impact that has on our feminine energy and also on our mental health in general. And when I thought about making this episode, I didn’t even want to… like, I don’t want to make a podcast episode about a social media app and about Instagram. But I decided to do it because at this point, social media is at the forefront of our daily lives. It’s affecting everything we do and it’s affecting everything I do to an extent that I don’t enjoy.

And I do think it is important to have these conversations and to also point out that there is another way and that is what I have discovered: I have found a whole network of people that are trying something else something that doesn’t have anything to do with social media, and I’m incredibly excited about it and that is why I wanted to do this podcast.

My difficult relationship with social media

And to kick off this topic, I thought it would be quite helpful for me to tell you how I was planning to approach my new career path, my novel writing business, and how I was going to approach the marketing before I set out to do so. So those of you who’ve been following me for a while, know that I have a difficult relationship with social media. I see it as something that I should do rather than something I enjoy doing.

And so, when I set out to write my novels and start my writing business here in Australia, initially I thought I was going to do it without social media altogether. I was not going to while I’m in defined social media I was going to do it without Instagram or Tiktok or Facebook. Let’s name those three, or Twitter, let’s let’s name those actual real social ones. But then when I embarked on this adventure, and I got in touch with other authors and I got in touch with the industry, I learned about Bookstagram and I learned about the necessity to be online to promote your books and I want to read you something. It was a quote from an article that I found back then that sort of discouraged me to keep off social media and someone said in that article,

A strong Author Platform goes beyond having 1000s of email subscribers and a top notch website, especially if you’re trying to reach a younger generation of readers. We are tech savvy millennials. We communicate through YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok and all things social media. We are more likely to watch your blog and read a blog or read a Twitter post an email. We are a generation plugged in and if you want to reach us and keep us you have to plug in, too.

So, it was not just this one article that made me change my mind. But the overall message was, and this is not just for self published authors but also for traditionally published authors, if you want your book to be successful, you need to be on socials big time. You need to basically shove your book down people’s throats on social media.

The catch 22: When your services don’t align with social media

But here’s the problem: I see quite a big divide between the services that I offer, which is books, which is stories, which is actually unplugging and getting away from all that to just sit down with a good book and a cup of tea, dreaming of faraway places, learning about the world. That is a stark contrast to the social media world that is all about scrolling and instant gratification and dopamine addiction.

But it’s a catch 22: to find my readers and to keep in touch with you guys, the readers I already have, there is this expectation to be on social meida. And I actually want to read you another quotem it’s from the Netflix documentary called The social dilemma. If you haven’t watched it, you must. The quote is written by Jaron Lainer, who is a computer scientist and he says:

We’ve created a world in which online connection has become primary, especially for younger generations. And yet in that world, anytime two people connect the only way it’s finance is through a sneaky third person who’s playing sorry, who’s paying to manipulate those two people. So we’ve created an entire global generation of people who were raised within a context with the very meaning of communication, the very meaning of culture is manipulation.

And that is something I deeply, deeply struggle with.

Social Media Struggles: Interacting more than acting

Because what social media is doing is that it’s hooking us into this ecosystem where 24/7 we are connected to all these other… 2 billion other energies out there, 2 billion other people that want to tell us about their life and what they are doing and what they’re achieving. So we are interacting more than we are acting. And there’s very little time left at the end of the day to just be to just be in the moment and to just allow ourselves to sit with ourselves.

And I don’t know about you, but I personally I quite enjoy living my own life and just… I don’t need to know what other people are doing constantly. And I’m perfectly happy not doing that. And for social media in general, what’s happening for me is that whenever I’m on there, it’s more about a “should” than a desire. It’s much more about “I should be doing this, I should be doing that”, it becomes about comparing to what other people are doing and then what happens is: I fall out of my own integrity. That is when it happens.

Social media has also lurked its way into our daily lives, hasn’t it? Have you ever been to a place maybe you were on a holiday something somewhere? And it was absolutely beautiful, but you were… and we are all guilty of this, right? You get your phone out and the moment doesn’t even feel whole, the moment doesn’t even feel real anymore, without taking a video and without taking a photo to show to the world that we’ve been there.

It has become so automated ,and that is something, again, that I think we need to question, and I think we’re also growing tired of it. And I think, to some extent, we are all aware that social media, these apps, they’re not just a tool waiting for us to be used. They’re… essentially, they have their own minds and they have their own goals and they know exactly how to pursue them using our psychology against us.

Social Media leads to dopamine addiction

So that is just something that I personally disagree with, and that is not something that my my services, my books and my stories are, or what I stand for. I do acknowledge that I in order to find new readers and also engage with with you guys with the readers I already have that is necessary to some extent. But I do question this dopamine addiction that comes with it. And so, for those of you who don’t know dopamine is essentially the feel good hormone and we normally release it through things that, well, that “feel good”, like sleep or exercise or meditation or going food or a walk in nature, you get the picture.

But what social media does, it’s basically hijacks the whole system and it’s sort of it dampens our our ability to release dopamine, so we become addicted to social media needing more of these hits, needing more of the likes and the comments and and this interaction and also this just this feeling of finding something new on that. So essentially, you are left — and it’s designed that way — you are left always feeling hungry. Always wanting more which is… which is what an addiction is.

I have personally tried various ways to cope with social media in a in a more healthy and a better way. I have comments disabled for a while. I try just to post and stick to my own stuff and just follow people who inspire me and never go on to the reals because once you get into the reason you stop scrolling, it never stops. But it is obviously that is not what Instagram wants you to do. Instagram wants you to be addicted to these things. So I always spiral back into the good old dopamine addiction after a while and even you know, even when I only follow people who inspire me and whose work I adore, it’s just the nature of the app that doesn’t agree with me and I find myself cool comparing I find myself being depleted and it’s not in a way that’s that’s jealous or that I don’t like I don’t like what these people are doing or I don’t I’m not happy for them but it’s more so that I always feel like I’m not doing enough.

Why it’s perfectly okay to be wary of social media:

And yeah, so I just I cannot find a healthy way to use social media. What I’m currently doing is I post something and I spend five to 10 minutes on that and then I delete the app after I’m done. That works for me currently, and I’m going to keep it going. But what I want to say to you also, is that I find it perfectly okay to be scared of a platform like that. There’s 2 billion people on Instagram, there’s all these strangers on automode, scrolling through, interacting with this thing that you’ve created, that you’ve put out into the world, in a way that’s completely unregulated and you don’t know who might even find your content.

So if you find that scary — and I know I do — that is totally valid and that is totally understandable. And if you are a creator, you’re a small business owner and you feel like you have to be on Instagram, it is totally okay to, you know, draw boundaries to keep boundaries up and to deal with that in a way however you see fit you really should not feel forced to expose yourself out there because again, I’m so glad to tell you that I think there is another way to do this when we come to this later in the episode.

You know, I see these posts from it’s mostly women to be honest. I see these reels of women who talk about having recently gone viral on what that actually was like, and all of them talk about how they were just harassed in the comments and in the DM’s and how it just spiralled out of control, and the general consensus of that is just you know, just ignore it. Just ignore the negativity, ignore the haters and move on. Just delete and, you know, just develope a thick skin and be glad that your post went viral.

And I’m like: can we not?

Like, that is not a healthy way to interact with other people and that is also nothing these people should get away with. Obviously, I get that that is how the app is designed. It is designed for controversy. The more comments and more controversy the better, and the more the reels are being pushed out to other people, but that is not okay. And that is certainly not how I… that is not the kind of world I want to live in and it’s not the kind of way that I want to create. It is not an environment that I feel safe in and you can’t tell me… yes, you might develop a thick skin and it gets better. But you can’t tell me that that is not affecting your mental health. If total strangers just come up to you know, basically your living room, this beautiful place that you’ve created, and just shit all over it and attack you personally. Like, of course it’s going to do something with your mental health. Especially for women, I think there’s also something to be said that you shouldn’t just ignore it and toughen up like a man. And we’ll get to that in a little while.

Being an introvert on social media

But there’s also another reason I personally struggle with social media and I think it deserves some space here as wrong because chances are if you believe the worldwide statistics, this one applies to at least half of you watching right now. And that is that I’m an introvert and what that means is that I charge my batteries in an entirely different way than an extrovert. So I need a lot of alone time. I’m also highly sensitive, which means that I react to outside influences and outside stimuli in a very different way. I get overwhelmed very very quickly.

And also, just a side note if that is not you and you’re completely fine with social media, and Instagram and Tiktok and whatever. Great enjoy it. This is in no way a commentary about how you live your life and what you enjoy. People are different, and I think it’s very important when we talk about social media we talk about Instagram, to talk about introverts.

And for us introverts the very nature of social media doesn’t agree with our very being because we are not social beings, or we can be but you know, I don’t want to generalise to say “what is an introvert” and what you as an introvert are like, but for me, being an introvert and being highly sensitive, I struggle with social interactions. I need to be very, very careful with my own energy because I also want to do right by people and I don’t want to come across as rude or I don’t want to I don’t ever want to make you feel like you don’t matter. Like, don’t ever think that about an introvert that they don’t care. It’s just their energy might literally just be depleted, and they just, you know, need to go onto the sofa for three to five hours or maybe 10 and read a book and not talk to anyone.

Pretending to be an extrovert on social media

And I think that’s very hard for extroverts to understand, but yeah, the simplest way to explain it is that is the difference in how we charge our batteries and introverts tend to do that by themselves in the quiet. And so, what I have done for a long time, because we live in such an extroverted world, like, the whole world is designed and geared towards extroverts. I pretended to be an extrovert, and this is something I have never really talked about in the past but for a while, I was a safari guide, I was guiding safaris all over southern Africa. And the one thing I always struggled with was being surrounded by my guests, my clients for such a long time. I needed to take extensive lunch breaks and for those 10,14 days that those safaris were going on, behind the scenes, I was actually really struggling. And that is one of the big reasons why I could not do this as a long term career because I was just, I was just completely tired and exhausted.

And I don’t want to do that anymore.

I don’t want to pretend to be something I am not. I’m not an extrovert and I actually want to embrace my strength and find a way to share my work online, my work that I love so much, and I want to be of service, and I want to find new readers for my books. But I want to do this in a way that feels authentic and that feels real because when I pretend to be something I’m not I fall out of integrity and that is the last thing I want to do because my authenticity and my integrity are core values that I’m trying to uphold, and it’s also not just about finding new readers. It’s also about keeping that relationship with the readers I already have, with you guys, real and authentic, and alive.

Embracing the quiet community away from social media

And it’s actually amazing: recently, some of you have come up to me and it was so funny because I might have… I may have seen your name come up when you liked a post or something, but other than that, I have never heard of you, and there’s people amongst you who have been with me since I was 22 years old and I started travel blogging. So that was a long time ago. I’m 37 now, and you guys have been, you basically grew up with me, and you’re still there. And yet, I have never heard of you. Or like: I have never… we have never spoken. We’ve never talked. And there’s so many of you out there that are like that.

And this brings me to my next point, which is what I’m learning now and this is huge for me and this is partly why I wanted to record this episode is: I am learning to trust my quiet community. I am learning to trust that there’s people who buy my books as soon as they come out, who like every post that I bring out, who read every email that I write and even if it’s just the second or the third email, these people… there is a throng of people who have… and I’m talking about you guys here… who have enabled me to start my own writing business, my self publishing writing business, and make a living out of that now.

And at this point, I just really want to say thank you to you guys.

We have never met, we’ve never been face to face, maybe even never emailed. But you there. And that is something in this day and age where everything’s so extroverted and social media works so much with these visible interactions. It works with likes and comments and messages, that it’s very hard to trust in that quiet community.

But if you are creative, if you have your own business, if you have a dream in any form that you're putting out there: Learn to trust that there's people who just simply don't feel the need to tell you that your work is great, they're just very quietly and personally engaging with it, without ever feeling the need to let you know.

And I can relate to that so much because I have so many people whose work I adore, whose work I love, from small creators to massive New York Times bestselling authors… have I ever sent any of them a message? No, I haven’t. Like I’m one of those people, because I don’t like social media, I rarely like post. I rarely ever comment and I don’t send DM’s to people a lot, so I’m not like that. Why would I expect my readers to be like that? It doesn’t make sense. I’m trying to attract people who are like me. So that is just something that I’m learning to trust more and more.

And again, if that is you: just know that there’s people out there who are just like you, who are quietly absorbing your content and who just enjoy it without feeling the need to communicate that.

Masculine vs. feminine energy

So that’s where I’m currently at. I am basically done feeding into a system that doesn’t agree with who I am at my core as an introvert and and now we’re getting into the next part of this episode: Also as a woman. Because all this chasing all this hustling, trying to get to certain numbers, a certain amount of likes, trying to achieve this or that outcome? That is all very much male energy.

But we as women as women, we are much more about the exact opposite. We’re about slowing down. For women, it’s much more important — and this is something I learned recently and I thought this was only me when in fact it is at the core of what makes feminine energy — for us it’s much more important how we’re achieving something rather than the end result. So to us, it matters… our environment matters, how I design this room that I’m working from everyday matters, how it smells, how it looks like. That is much more important. So the joy we find in the everyday moments that is much more important to us than the actual outcome. And that is, to give you a very, very simple example of the difference between male and female energy. Just think of what’s happening in the womb. So you have the male sperm that is, you know, racing, chasing and trying to hustle to get to the egg as fast as possible and be the first one there. But what does the egg do? The egg sits her and waits and receives like a magnet pulling in everything that’s good.

A radical thought: Letting joy be my guide

And that is at the core of what female energy is and that is something that I’m trying to include in my life and it’s a very radical thought that I’m having lately. Can I get away with designing a life that’s based on joy? Can I make that my focus? Can I be the magnet and I know you’ve probably heard of this you have to be the energy you’d like to attract. And I always struggled with that. That was a tried. I really tried but never deep down and never quite understood. What does that mean? I’m being there and being the energy I like to attract and I think I finally got it now it means that it means finding joy in the everyday moments. It matters how I how I write my book, not when I finish it or how many words I achieve or how many books I sell at the end.

What matters is how much joy I find writing every single sentence. What music I listen to while I do, what tea I drink while I do that. And I’m getting to the stage where I’m allowing myself to do this. And it feels rebellious and it feels exciting and it is just the complete opposite of chasing an of that hustling culture. And I would just encourage you to try to try and do that. If you don’t work for yourself, it might be a bit of a different story, but can you get out of bed in the morning and your first thought is of joy? How can I find joy in my life or like, you know even when you need to clean the kitchen or you need to do a task that you don’t really want to do, you need to ask yourself: How can I make this fun? How can I how can I infuse a little bit of joy into this? I’m giving you permission here to do this because that is what it means to be feminine and that is what it means to allow feminine energy into our lives.

Finding joy in the moment IS rewilding!

And to me that is totally also what rewilding is.

It’s about being true to ourselves to who we really are, especially as women. So feminine energy is the energy of being, not the energy of doing, and that is the main difference, and that is the mind shift that I have recently realised for myself. And towards the end of this episode, I wanted to give you a couple of pointers of how I’m planning to incorporate this into my life but mainly also into my writing business.

As an author who needs to do marketing and who needs to be and also wants to be online in some shape or form. Because I enjoy sharing my work but I want to do it with integrity and I want to do it in a way that aligns with who I am. And the one thing I would like to do is I want to reach new readers when they are in a completely different mindset to that of that scrolling social media mindset. I want them to be open and I want them to actually be looking for the thing that I have to offer.

What creatives can do instead of social media

So where are places where that is the case? And I’m sure you’ve thought of it already. One of the main places where that is happening is Pinterest. One thing you need to know about Pinterest is that it’s actually not a social media platform. Pinterest is actually a search engine. People go to Pinterest and they have they have a very very clear idea of what they’re looking for when they’re going on there. And you can use you know, you can use hashtags and keywords and content descriptions to find the exact people who are looking for the thing that you have.

So Pinterest is huge. The other thing that is huge and then I’m trying to focus on more in the future is my own website. My own blog. I’ve been recently been tinkering a lot with my website design trying to make it look good. I’ve been writing a lot of blog articles that I’m going to publish. Because another thing that is so crucial when you’re running your own business is when you have your own website. You own that one. You don’t own anything that’s happening on those social media platforms you don’t that is not yours and they can take it away. They can take that away. That can be an algorithm change, you know, apps change all the time. What happened to Twitter anyway? I’m glad I wasn’t very active on that one.

So your website, you own that one. The other thing I genuinely enjoy and that I really want to expand is my my newsletters, my readers group. From now on, I’m trying to treat every newsletter as a little story in and of itself that gives a lot of value and enjoyment and it’s sort of a sneak peek into my other writing work and the books that I’m doing. So that is another thing that I’m focusing on. When people sign up to my newsletter, I know that they’re interested. And when you click on an email and you read it, you’re in a totally different mindset than when you just happen to come across one of my posts on Instagram. It’s very slowed down and it’s much more enjoyable for both you the reader and me, the creator of a certain work.

And the other thing I’m doing is this podcast which started out of this idea, this very private personal idea that I wanted to be held accountable for this rewilding year I’m doing. But I’m, I’m really starting to enjoy this because again, it’s very slow I’m an introvert, of course, so there is a barrier for me to speak into the camera like that, but essentially it’s just me and the camera. There’s no one behind that. Just me the camera and the microphone. And again, when you are listening to it or you’re watching it, you’re in a different mindset than what you are on social media.

If you’re listening to any podcast it’s because you genuinely want to hear from that person or you want to be interested in a certain idea. So you’re much more open and that is the sort of world that I want to live in. That’s the sort of work that I want to create. And that is what agrees with who I am. And that doesn’t mean I won’t be using Instagram anymore. There’s a couple of features I enjoy and I think are helpful. I think it’s very good to keep in touch with with you guys with the readers that are already there and just updating you on things very quickly. I also enjoy the one thing Instagram can do is I just love as an author doing a cover review with my favourite song that I’ve been listening to while writing the story like I do enjoy that kind of stuff. And also for my next books, there’s a couple of ideas I have that will just look great on video. So I’m still going to use it. I’m not not going to use it. But I’m going to keep deleting the app. And it will be one of the last things I do.

My new rule is that before I go onto Instagram, there’s five other things I can do: my website, my newsletter, this podcast, blog articles, and Pinterest. So, I can do all those five things and then I’m allowed to go to Instagram.

The five most important take aways for you:

And I’m realising this was probably quite a lot to take in. So to conclude, I just want to give you the main the five main five takeaways again now we’re not on my phone so I don’t forget.

So the five takeaways from this week’s episode:

1. take technology breaks every day or even better make social media the exception not to go. There’s another gentle community out there that is a lot better for your mental health.
2. Take control of what you feed your brain and your heart. Choose and curate your content wisely. Anything that’s more a search engine than a passive experience is your friend. think Pinterest, YouTube, even YouTube is another search engine. It’s actually not a social media app. Even Netflix is great. On Netflix, you are choosing what you’re going to watch which is great. If you want to unwind you know after work it’s better to watch something on Netflix than being on on Instagram. Just don’t do both at the same time. I know we’re all guilty of that, but try to be on one screen, not two at the same time.
3. Ifyou are a creator or a business owner, small business owner, learn to trust in your quiet community.
4. Decide to not push anymore and use the pull of our inherent magnetic nature as women to call our desires in instead of chasing after them. And you do that by:
5. Learn how to do the feminine being instead of the masculine doing and you do that by looking for wherever the joy is wherever the fun is.

There is a way to be online without social media

So over the last couple of weeks, I have really started to believe that there is another way of doing things, a more feminine way, a softer way, a gentler way. And I’m just so excited about this. And what’s going on with me recently is that I’ve felt a lot calmer. I sleep better. I feel so much more inspired. I read books again. I’m an author and I hadn’t read a book in so long because I was just stressing so much, and I was distracted all the time.

And I just really… I’m so excited that there’s other people asking the very same questions that I’m asking, and what I always say is I’m asking this question if I’m going through this, other people are going through it as well ,and probably some of you who are listening will find this information as groundbreaking as I do.

This brings us to the end of this week’s episode I’m going to get real quiet over the next two weeks to try to speak to the kangaroos out there and to the birds and I’ll share with you what I’ve learned during the full moon episode. There is a lot of resources on my blog with regards to this episode links, websites, blogs that you can dive into if you want to learn more about this gentle, feminine way of living and finding joy. So do check that out. Other than that I’m incredibly behind on my emails currently and I apologise for that. But I’m actually going to tackle those next week. All right. I wish you a lovely day. Thank you so much for listening. I’ll see you again in two weeks from now.

Bye, bye…
