I broke up with Amazon and Google when I left social media in 2021, and this year I decided it was also time to quit using Spotify. Why? Well because my values are not aligned with enriching billionaires like Jeff Bezos, letting Google track my behavior everywhere, or supporting Spotify in paying artists pennies. So in this episode, I share a bit more about my decision-making and how I’ve managed to stop using the services and tools that these companies create. To be clear — I’m not making a case for why you “should” quit any of these platforms. But if this is a shift you WANT to make, I am offering a few suggestions. Tune in to hear: The 3 mindset shifts that make it possible to leave Google, Amazon & Spotify My 5-step process for breaking up with these companies & their services All the tools I used to replace Google The ways I still use Amazon even though I canceled Prime years ago How quitting Spotify changed my music-listening (more on that here ) For a quick summary & links to my fave tools, check out the blog post I wrote when I first made this decision: http://www.ameliahruby.com/blog/getting-off-google-facebook-amazon RESOURCES + LINKS 👋 Download the FREE Leaving Social Media Toolkit 🌐 Join the Interweb for courses + community 🌸 Peep the Clubhouse for bonus episodes + emails 🌀 Sign up for OPT OUT — 90 minutes of simple mindset shifts, step-by-step processes, and curated lists of alternate tools that will help you redesign your tech stack for a softer, surveillance-free life (and business).

So now as a business owner, creative & Notion consultant, what I get to do is decolonize my business and help my clients look at their own businesses through a decolonization lens. " Today I’m joined by Podge Thomas for a reflective conversation about why being self-employed invites (and requires) decolonizing how we learn, how we communicate, how we operate, and how we relate to others. Podge is a queer, POC, neurodivergent Notion consultant. Her clients are progressive and radical self-identifying women and non-binary business leaders. When she’s not Notion-izing, she is renovating her 1780’s home in New England with her partner.

So in today’s episode, Jenny joins us to share the highs and lows of her 13 years of self-employment. And together we go deep into all the practical, intuitive, and creative things she’s tried to keep her business going… even though nothing’s really working (except maybe Substack).

Happy Halloween, business witches! 🧙 While I typically keep things pretty practical here at Off the Grid, this week I wanted to lean into the mystical, magical and alchemical aspects of creative business. To do that, I invited three brilliant practitioners to each share a unique and powerful biz magic ritual with us! ✨ Brigitte starts us off with some practical magic as she shares her opening + closing rituals for each workday and workweek. [9:00] ✨ Then Cecily Sailer offers a tarot spread and community reading for connecting with our business spirits. [17:00] ✨ And finally, Ash Canty gifts us a meditative practice that serves anyone asking — “what do I do when everything goes quiet? or when things feel slow? or when I put something out there and nothing happens in response to it?” [31:45] I hope you’ll press play then keep reading to learn more about our magical contributors and find all the links to their work! 🪄 Contributors: Brigitte (she/her) is a systems and self-care witch who builds intentional systems for neurodivergent creatives who want to feel proud, successful, and get shit done. She makes Notion templates and custom workspaces that are a launchpad to helping you cross the finish line on your projects and goals. Cecily Sailer (she/her) is a creativity coach, writer and tarot reader. She runs a business called Typewriter Tarot , which is a sanctuary and learning community for creative mystics. Ash Canty (he/him) is an Afro-Indigenous, queer, trans-masculine, psychic medium, mentor, and death guide.

We look to new courses, fancy platforms, or expensive mentors to “save” us … but in my experience, what we actually need in these times is to tend to our inner reserves in deeper and more nuanced ways. So today I’m joined by Pascale Coté of Dear Creative Mind to teach us how to cultivate creative resilience in our artistic, marketing and business practices. If you’ve ever had an unexpected pivot, a disappointing launch, or a period of deep burnout in your business, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn about: What creative resilience is How to expand your window of tolerance in business Common creative blocks to work with — like perfectionism, procrastination, self-sabotage & more How social media causes creative blocks Ways to redefine success & measure it differently Navigating positive & negative feedback The importance of pacing ourselves & our expectations Additional resources from Pascale ♡ 📲 Wish you could leave social media, but not quite ready yet?

This week I’m incredibly excited to be joined by anticapitalist teacher, writer, vocational guide, and naturalist: Megan Leatherman of A Wild New Work . In this conversation, we begin by defining capitalism and anti-capitalism alongside Silvia Federici’s book Caliban and the Witch . Then we talk about why our labor is sacred, how to navigate the despair that comes with living under late-stage capitalism, and why slowing down is an important deconstruction of the status quo. Here’s a preview of the rich wisdom Megan shares: ✨ No other organism works for someone else to get the money or currency they need to then go buy the food or shelter that they need. It’s really absurd. And it’s become more than an economic system. Now it’s a culture and a set of beliefs. ✨ Working in an anti-capitalist way, to me, means living in accordance to the rhythms of my body and the seasons, recognizing that there are times in the cycle of the year when things are really busy and a lot of growth is happening and that gets mirrored in my work, but then there are also times that require a quieter, slower approach. And those all build off one another for a healthy, sustainable life. ✨ You know what you need. You are a human animal in a body who has rhythms and cycles, and you can trust those. They’re not usually convenient to capitalism, because they’re not as productive as a machine. But you can trust them. And if you love our conversation, be sure to check out Megan's next class, Composting Capitalism ! 👋 Thinking of leaving social media? You don't have to go it alone!

Chloé is here to talk about what brands are, why they matter, and how we can craft one that breaks past visibility biases. This conversation is also an extension of our season three finale where I explored how to feel seen off social media . Because in this episode, Chloé explains how to actually be seen off social media — including why so many of us are underrecognized ( not underrepresented! ) and how to craft a circle of recognition that makes sure we’re actually seen and heard. Here are just a few of the amazing things Chloé says in this conversation: ✨ All social media is interested in doing is farming and selling attention. It’s not interested in the process of visibility — which is gaining, maintaining, and translating attention. ✨ You are not social media’s client. You are their product. ✨ For some of us, it’s like we have an invisibility cloak on. So no matter what right moves we are making or how avidly we are participating in social media or the other tactics and strategies presented to us — we’re still doing that from underneath an invisibility cloak. ✨ You have to be the obvious choice before you make yourself an opportunity magnet. You don’t just want to be visible. You want to be noticed. You want to be remembered. And then you want people to be influenced by that memory to act. There’s a whole process. I hope you enjoy this episode! And if you do, please send it to a friend, so they can enjoy the rest of season four, too! 👋 Thinking of leaving social media? You don't have to go it alone!
