Thank you for representing us mothers at alt summit!! I’m curious to know of the conversations surrounding Instagram and social media over there? Maybe they just all live it because of their major followings?
There was definitely a lot of IG-related stuff, which makes perfect sense, because I think I was the only person there who doesn’t have instagram haha. But several times when I said I don’t have ig, people said “good for you!” So I am hoping that if there’s anyone else out there feeling sick of it, they can hop over to newsletter land with us!! 😇
Happy to be on your mailing list, and loved your voice memo Alex! So glad to have crossed paths with you at Alt. First off -- a stay at home mom is MORE than enough (especially with 4 kids!) and I'm sorry to hear that you even questioned for a moment sharing that with people! I don't have kids and the first year I went to Alt in 2019 it felt like everyone was a mom AND an entrepreneur and "doing it all" and I felt like an outsider for the fact that I made the choice not to have kids. But all our choices are valid and beautiful and I hope you felt the love from folks this year for everything that you are! :) Also -- your feelings about IG (I read your "why I quit IG" post) are SO relatable and a constant struggle, even for those of us who use it purely as a business tool. Proud of you for setting the boundary and getting off the app. Can't wait to continue reading along with your newsletter!
Oooooh thank you so much Micah! What a great perspective about choices 🩷 btw If you want to get the email I’m sending to all my round table attendees, let me know and I’ll include you! Alsoooo I just added your Nisolo mules to my cart 🙃🙃
