Finding Beauty in the Reset

Twenty-four hours into a social media detox, Gabbi Pascua picked up her phone and recorded this. Not because it was planned, but because the clarity came on a walk, and she needed to say it out loud. In this episode, she names the fear she's been carrying: wanting to step into the creator and public-facing space but stopping herself from it. She talks about the podcast she started in 2018 and put down because of a seed of doubt, what it's like to navigate funding rounds for a media company while figuring out what it means to be a woman in her mid-to-late 30s, and why stepping away from social gave her the creativity, confidence, and clarity to finally step in.
