Soft, Earthen Futures

In this episode, host Daje Aloh pulls back the curtain on what's really happening between creative entrepreneurs and Instagram. This isn't about making you feel bad for using social media. It's about having an honest conversation about how the platform has changed, how it affects our nervous systems, and why your resistance to showing up online might not be about your "capacity for visibility" at all.

If you've been feeling hives on your body the moment you open Instagram, if you've been told you just need to do more somatic work to expand your visibility capacity, or if you're exhausted from pouring your heart into the algorithm only to receive crumbs in return—this episode is for you.
