Kicking off this podcast I wanted to talk about social media, how we currently use it and how we can use it more consciously. Here are some things I cover: The ableism of telling people to just ‘log off’ #ScrollFreeSeptember My own journey with social media Quitting Facebook 10 years ago The real purpose of social media How social media turns us into lazy friends Building conscious community Why I created this podcast Taking your friendships offline The shift away from social media Resources from the show: #ScrollFreeSeptember Be That Unicorn by Jenny Block #ScrollFreeSeptember & Selftember or How to Find Yourself When You Are Lost What I learned from #ScrollFreeSeptember If you want to continue the conversation head over to my Patreon or sign up to my newsletter.

You’ve heard of ‘love & light’. It’s often said in the context of ‘I’m sending you love and light’ usually done when a person is going through a hard time. People mean well when they say this. They truly believe that sending positive vibes will be enough to help people in their time of need. I’m not one of those people. I’m all about love and fight. What does that mean exactly? It means being enthusiastic about the things you love and that bring you joy while also fighting against injustices or fighting for what you believe in. That’s what this podcast is about. The things I love and the things I’m fighting for. I don’t sugar-coat. There’s a time and place for hope and positivity but alongside that needs to be action and conversation.  My name is Olga and I’m a writer, poet and zine maker. I am passionate about mental health, social justice, feminism which I see through my own identity. I’m a cis white woman. I’m also an immigrant, a trauma survivor and someone with several health conditions. Come on this journey with me to create conscious digital community. Where we can grow and learn together but also challenge and uplift one another.  What do you love and what will you fight for?  Welcome to love and fight.
