Social Media Detox

River + Michele discuss Tik Tok, Meta and Michele's choice to detox from all Meta apps and social media.
Taking a social media detox can be beneficial for several reasons, especially when it comes to mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. Here’s why it might be important:
Reduce anxiety and stress
Prevents overwhelm
Reconnects you with real-life relationships (making that the priority)
Enhances productivity 
Reduces input overload
A detox doesn’t have to mean completely abandoning social media forever; it’s about taking intentional breaks to reset your habits and ensure your online engagement is serving you, not draining you. So, create good habits and check in with yourself from time to time if it is serving you and your highest good. 
 
Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing and caring!!
 
Hugs!

2025 is a 9 Year

River + Michele chat about 2025, the collective and what the number 9 signifies within numerology.
It's a new year full of possibilities. As 2025 begins, we can look to the numerology of the year to determine the gist of what we can expect. This year centers around the number nine.
Numerology, like astrology, is a predictive practice with significance for the personal and the collective. People have individual numerological profiles. For example, the digits of a birthday reduce to something called a life path number.
 
Years have numerology, too. Let's read on for the numerology of 2025 and what it might say about what's to come.
What is the numerology of 2025?
What makes 2025 a nine year, according to numerology? It's simple: The digits add up to nine (2+0+2+5 = 9).
Within numerology, nine is considered a transformative and altruistic number that urges us to give back. Since it is the last single-digit number, it represents growth and evolution, themes associated with the end of a cycle and beginning of a new one.
 
River has a 6 year rolling out and Michele has an 8 year. You can see what yours is here: Creative Numerology Site
 
We hope you enjoy listening to this episode! Please share and follow. :) 
 
Hugs and high fives!
