    Pep Talk: “ That Peace You're Craving is Not On Your Feed”

    Dear boss babe... if you’ve been running on fumes, convincing yourself that one more post, one more story, one more reel will finally “get you ahead”… this one’s for you. Because what if slowing down is the secret to your next big level? Today I am getting real about burnout, hustle culture, and the pressure to “show up” online 24/7. After taking a two-month social media break, she’s sharing what really happens when you log off — and how rest isn’t rebellion, it’s a strategy. You’ll hear her reflect on the fear of losing momentum, the courage it takes to disconnect, and the beautiful clarity that comes when you stop performing and start being present again. This episode is a love letter to every boss babe who’s ever felt like the algorithm was running her life. If you’ve been craving peace, presence, and purpose beyond the screen — this one’s your reminder to take your power (and your phone) off airplane mode. 💡 You’ll Learn: Why taking a social media break doesn’t make you irrelevant How hustle culture steals your creativity and peace The difference between being seen and being fulfilled Practical ways to create digital boundaries that protect your energy What really happens when you rest — and why your next-level self needs it My Challenge for You: Take one small digital boundary this week: → No social media before 10 AM → Delete one app for the weekend → Or spend one hour a day fully offline — no notifications, no noise. Because every time you choose presence over performance, you remind yourself: you run your life, not the algorithm. If you needed permission to log off, this is it. But when you’re ready to come back grounded, creative, and unstoppable — make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast for more pep talks like this.

    125: The Self Care Reset You’ve Been Avoiding: Do You Need a Social Media Break?

    Babe, maybe your mind isn’t tired and burnt outbecause you’re doing too much — but because you’re consuming too much. In this episode of Boss Babe Reset, I’m talking all about burnout, hustle culture, and the courage it takes to pause — not because you’ve fallen behind, but because you’re finally ready to catch up to yourself. What really causes burnout (spoiler: it’s not just overworking — it’s overstimulation) How to know when it’s time for a self care reset or social media break The science behind stillness and why your brain craves it Why silence is the ultimate strategy in a hustle culture that glorifies exhaustion A step-by-step plan to take a strategic social media break — without losing momentum You know I’m all about protecting your peace and your energy — and that includes how you fuel your body. Because when you’re trying to avoid burnout, nourishing your body is just as important as logging off your phone. You don’t lose momentum by resting — you lose it by burning out. The algorithm isn’t your boss — you are. Social media is a tool, not your identity. Stillness is the new self care — and silence is the strategy. If this episode reminded you to slow down and breathe, share it with your favorite boss babe who might be running on empty. 👉 Follow me on Instagram @theerickanicole / @bossbabereset for more self care inspo and behind-the-scenes of my journey building Silkenn — skincare for your soul and your glow.
