It’s been a while—I’ve been fairly absent from my social media accounts since October, mostly due to several writing and other projects. And honestly: It feels so much better in so many ways.

But fret not, I haven’t abandoned my podcasts. In this episode of The Creative Cure, I will talk about cutting down on social media accounts, removing ourselves from the pressure to be “KLT”d and most of all: Changing the structures that still pressure us into giving our knowledge away for free or far too cheaply because “that’s the way to get your foot in the door, and then the work will come.”

If you would like to share how trying to keep up with social media affects you, or what your experiences with “offering knowledge for exposure” are: You can do both via our community on Substack (it’s free).

If you would like to access all information mentioned in this episode and get a written transcript: You can find it here.

If you are interested in exploring mental health and creativity through a lens of storytelling, please also check out my newsletter The Sandman: Shadow Truths, which alternates with The Creative Cure and also has its own companion podcast.

You can also follow me on Facebook (as per this episode, you’ll not find much joy following my other, defunct accounts ;)).

Thanks to WatR for creating the music.
