Turns out, social media isn't the only way to build a successful business. It's just the loudest one.

I quit posting on social media in 2021.

I’ve never been back. Not even to scroll.

 


Hi, I’m Kate. And I run a high-profit business,
not because I cracked some secret algorithm.

But because I stopped outsourcing my peace,
self-trust, and business strategy to an app
that was never designed to support my business
(much less, my humanity).

And I still make
multiple six figures a year.

I didn’t just burn out. I opted out.

If social media has been messing with your mood, your confidence, or your nervous system… you’re not imagining it.

It's exhausting: the constant posting, the algorithm anxiety, the comparison spiral. The nagging feeling that if you stop showing up, everything will fall apart.

What if it didn't have to be this way?

Algorithms Anonymous is the guide I wish I had years ago… back when I thought the only way to be successful was to post constantly, stay consistent, and be “on” 24/7… even when my body was screaming nope.

If social media feels like a

toxic

relationship...

you’re not wrong.

I know you’ve built something real… but it still feels like the algorithm holds your business (and your nervous system) hostage.

I know you know how to sell. You just don’t want to sell like this anymore because it feels like a chore—or worse, a hate-hate relationship.

And the worst part? It's not even working.

Has it yielded the results vs. the output? As one client of mine said, “Absolutely not!”

But right now, I know you’re probably telling yourself, “It’s just part of business, a necessary evil.” 

But what if it’s not? What if the problem isn’t that you need more visibility, but where your visibility lives?

Because here’s what happens when you rely on social media:

Your mood shifts after you check your phone

You question your business every time reach drops

You post even when it feels deeply misaligned

You wonder how everyone else seems fine doing this

Let me say this clearly:

You’re not lazy, you’re not doing it wrong and you don’t need to just try harder. 

You need to stop trying to run a business inside a system that profits from dysregulating you.

It’s not sustainable. Because:

This isn’t a dramatic “delete everything and disappear” moment.

Algorithms Anonymous is recovery, not rebellion.

Compassion
(no shame, ever)

Structure
(so you don’t panic-spiral)

Consent
(you’re not committing forever)

You won’t be told to:

❌ Nuke your accounts
❌ Ghost your audience
❌ Burn down your business

Instead, you’ll gently untangle your worth, safety, and strategy from metrics you don’t control… while keeping your business intact.

Quietly. Intentionally. On your terms.

This is for you if:

If you have lived experience with substance use, recovery, or trauma, take what resonates and leave the rest. You are the authority on your own experience.

What Happens When You Build Off Social:

Five years ago, I stopped posting on social media.

Not because I stopped believing in visibility,
but because I stopped believing in volatility.

My business didn’t disappear. In fact, it grew 165% the following year.

Because I replaced rented attention with owned infrastructure.

Algorithms Anonymous recovery program is the first step in that transition. Because you cannot build sustainable systems while you’re still making decisions from a dysregulated nervous system.

You cannot replace algorithm addiction if you are still:

Strategy built on dysregulation becomes another form of hustle.

Recovery = Less performance
+ More leverage.

Make money. Enjoy your work again.

... Without the social media hamster wheel.

You don’t need another content plan.

you need:

A regulated nervous system

Clear boundaries with technology

A business model that doesn’t depend on your constant visibility

Algorithms Anonymous won’t hand you another content strategy.

It will help you build a visibility strategy that doesn’t depend on constant output.

Ready to reclaim your nervous system and rebuild your business on something sturdier? Inside the guide, I’ll also show you the three owned assets that make social media optional.

Grounded guidance for building a business that supports your humanity.

P.S. Social media doesn't work for visibility. It works for distraction. Real visibility comes from owned assets: your email list, your search-optimized content, and your evergreen systems. This guide is Step 1. Infrastructure is Step 2. And you're ready for both.
