Is it maybe a blessing in disguise? The universe telling you that you don't need Instagram? I would be grieving so deeply too. But maybe it was meant to be. You were meant to let go of the platform? It's so scary to have to start from scratch or leave something behind fully. But like you said, maybe it is time to redirect your focus to somewhere where numbers aren't the currency. But kindness and connection is.
Oh honey! This is huge. Yes to seeing the future gift in it, as you always so graciously do (please know that your work will always be sought out! 🙏🏻) but — alongside that — just want you to know I see you in the grief for all those life hours, thoughts formed, ideas birthed, connections cultivated… being swiftly taken without a proper goodbye. 😔
Whilst we know we don’t own these platforms, this is a straight up shady take-over and you don’t deserve that. It does seem like sometimes life ensures the ending is shocking and final so we can really propel forward into a new era, no strings attached.
The wisdom you have shared free for public consumption over MANY years has been immense (and I’ve been here since the earlyyyyy days) so just celebrating that, and knowing you’ll continue to weave magic. Here, offline, in ways that nourish YOU so beautifully. ❤️ xx
Thank you so much Rachel. This message went straight to my heart—thank you.
While I do see the gift (as I always try to), I also feel the ache of it. And your words, your witnessing, make me feel so held in that.
You’re right—sometimes life makes the ending so sharp and irreversible that there’s no choice but to move forward, untethered. And while it stings, I also trust that this is clearing space for something more aligned, more nourishing, more true.
Thank you for seeing me, for celebrating this evolution, and for believing in the magic yet to come. I feel it too. And I’m so glad you’re still here.
This is massively annoying and cruel but you’re handling it with so much grace 🌺 This criminal hasn’t changed the bio on your Threads account yet 👀 Don’t give up hope!
Big love to you Vienda! I have reported the account. I'll miss your presence on a platform that has been absolutely becoming less real and human. I'm fairly close to letting it go as well. Definitely feel most are craving real honest feeling and vulnerability in a community space that isn't robotic and actually taking away authenticity. Thank you for as always leading with grace even through you grief. I appreciate your clarity challenge gift and you 🙏🏻💖
Thank you darling. Your solidarity means so much to me. I have unplugged from the false idea that I had to document my entire life on instagram and the effects have been massively freeing. I feel like my life belongs to my physical reality and my internal world once again. And THAT is a gift.

I completely and 💯 agree. It is a blessing in disguise. I just need a moment to grieve it all.
Yes, absolutely. Like I said, I would grieve too. It probably feels like you are letting go of part of our identify (as dramatic as that sounds).
so true, and a whole lot of ego 😮💨

Thank you. I’m absolutely devastated. 🥹
It’s been so heartbreaking. Years of love, creativity, connections, community and effort just gone.
But… once the grief passes a new way forward will emerge. I look forward to being on the other side of all this and shining brighter than ever.
Thank you for your kindness, support and solidarity. 💕✨
