40 Days of Raw, Unedited Writing: Rediscovering Connection Beyond Social Media

I am experimenting with writing a post every day for the next 40 days.

One of the reasons I chose 40 days is because of this podcast I stumbled across by Hella Well with Danielle. Listen to it, it’s short and gets to the point. That’s what these short posts will be too.

I am craving something different. It’s not going back to social media where I never felt drawn. It’s not forcing myself into spaces that disrupt my mental health. It’s not feeling like I am missing out when I’m not on social media.

It’s feeling I am missing out on living fully~on connecting in person. On honoring the truth that’s always been inside me. The truth that tells me social media isn’t a space I feel comfortable in.

Writing is different.

Writing is my safe space.

Writing is my meditation.

Writing is where I make sense of everything that doesn’t make sense.

Writing is where I find peace with the struggle.

So for the next 40 days get ready to receive emails from me to you.

I’m not going to edit these. Eeekkk my perfectionist doesn’t like this idea.

Oh hey, I wrote a piece about

Living with Your Inner Perfectionist

I might analyze my titles if I can find the time, I will definitely use AI to proofread these raw pieces, but they are not written from AI.

I’m going to write to you unfiltered about:

• Being human

• Having real feelings

• Being a Mom/Caregiver

• The health and wellness world

• Noticing desensitization

• Prioritizing mental and physical wellbeing so I can show up

• Building community

• Writing Books

Thank you HellaWellwithDanielle for the inspiration and motivation to try something new for 40 days.

Anything you all want to try out for 40 days? Let me know if you listen to her podcast and feel inspired. I’d love to hear about what you’re doing.

Love Always,

Danielle Mallett
