Ep 40: Social Media Sucks Now... Here's what I'm doing about it

In this episode, I’m sharing why I’ve decided to step back from social media and what’s next for creating real connections. After a year of actively engaging on Instagram, I’ve realized that the platforms we once relied on for building genuine relationships no longer serve us in the same way.

 

The Shift in Social Media:

• Misinformation is spreading faster – Meta has removed third-party fact-checkers, making it harder to trust what we see.

• AI-generated influencers are taking over – Digital personalities are replacing real human connection.

• The engagement trap is exhausting – Platforms are designed to keep us scrolling, not fostering deep conversations.

• Privacy concerns are growing – Many of us hesitate to share personal content in an environment with minimal protections.

 

What This Means for Creatives & Business Owners:

Social media was once a powerful marketing tool, but for interior designers and creatives, the constant demand for engagement and visibility has become overwhelming. It’s time to explore a better way to connect.

 

Introducing a New Space for Interior Designers: I’m building a dedicated community for interior designers and small business owners—a platform where creativity, professional growth, and authentic connections come first.

• No Algorithm Games – Posts appear in chronological order.

• A Community for Interior Designers – Built for networking and collaboration.

• A Positive, Professional Space – No divisive content, just design and business growth.

• Opportunities for Learning & Support – Interactive events, industry discussions, and real connection.

 

Early Access for The DAIly Members: Members of The DAIly will receive exclusive beta access in February—be the first to experience this platform, give feedback, and help shape the future of our industry’s digital space.
