“The last thing I want is to lose connection with the people who matter most to me.” —Carly Burr

The social media pandemic has really taken over, hasn't it?

It seems like everyone is constantly glued to their phones, scrolling endlessly through the highlight reels of everyone else's lives. It can be so easy to get caught up in the comparison trap and feel like we're just not measuring up. But you know what they say— comparison is the thief of joy!

Several years ago, Carly Burr made the bold decision to ditch social media altogether, and she hasn't looked back since! As a mom and business owner, Carly has found that living life offline has allowed her to cultivate deeper connections with her family and build a thriving business in a refreshingly authentic way.

In this insightful conversation, Carly shares her journey of going offline, the benefits she and her family have experienced, the importance of building community and relationships through intentional, offline methods, and her upcoming projects aimed at helping others shift their perspective and prioritize meaningful offline connections.
