#77 - Goodbye social media, hello authenticity with Julia Hens

Throughout the episode, we discuss her reasons for leaving social media , the exact moment she made the decision, and how she managed both the internal process and the external implications. We also discuss the emotional intelligence required to close out stages, even when they appear successful from the outside, and how difficult it can be to let go of an identity built around exposure.

Julia shares her perspective on the ego associated with personal branding and how the line between who one is and what one projects blurs. We also discuss the importance of discovering one's own gift, what genuinely moves us, beyond external validation. Along these lines, she reflects on the concept of success, differentiating between personal and social success, and how to redefine it from a more authentic perspective.

Finally, we discuss psychotherapy , self-awareness , and the importance of looking inward to make profound and sustainable changes. Julia invites us to question what we consume, what we create, and how we relate to the digital world, remembering that life isn't content.
