    11:19||Season 7, Ep. 419
    I’m interrupting our regular programming to share a deeply personal and professional crisis: the sudden loss of my Instagram account—a six-year connection to you. Today, I reflect on the fragility of relying on platforms we don’t own, the parallels between this loss and the death of my aunt 22 years ago, and the resilience it takes to rebuild.I discuss:Why building an email list saved me (and how you can claim my free Discover Your Essence workbook + meditation).How losing Instagram mirrored the grief of losing my aunt—and what it taught me about surrender.Why I’m more determined than ever to explore life, death, and consciousness with you.How to reconnect with me (spoiler: follow my new Instagram @Dr.AmyRobbins and join my newsletter).Join me as I turn loss into renewal—and remember, even when life says, “There’s nothing more we can do,” we always have a choice to keep going.🔗 Links & Resources Mentioned:FREE Workbook + Meditation (Subscribe to my newsletter)Follow my new Instagram: @Dr.AmyRobbinsExplore my courses: Live Your Life BackwardsSubscribe to Life, Death, and the Space Between on your favorite podcast platform.
