1. a grand vision

What do I intend to accomplish by decentering social media and my phone?

No holds barred, this is my most hopeful grand vision, unchecked by skepticism, unfettered by shackles of realism. Let’s assume here that everything is possible, and the call on my soul to step away from social media is part of a big, beautiful, divine plan to help me reorient myself in the direction of my purpose, passion, and well-being in all ways. 

I hereby declare that everything herein is fully and entirely possible, accessible, feasible, reasonable, and available. I’m shaking off the stuckness of needing to know how, and dancing into the quantum realm in which all paths are open.

What is the most expansive, delightful, fulfilling potential of the Antisocial Social Club experiment?

Time travel with me, will you? Let's shift forward to December 15, 2025.

1. I am happily connecting to my people via newsletter (hey-yoooo) and email. It feels authentic, easeful, and substantial. I’m able to be more of who I am in ‘marketing’ which turns out to be just sharing from the heart. 
2. My trust in myself as a writer has grown exponentially, immeasurably even, as I’ve learned to show up to the page and surprise myself in inviting the muse to come through. I’m sharing via newsletter and my blog, and treasure every comment I receive. 
3. The fears that blogging is outdated were unfounded, and the search engine optimization of ameliatravis.com is bringing more new potential clients than social media was! I’ve dialed in using keywords and headers, and sharing a mix of grounded business guidance, deeper creative writing, astrology insights, spiritual counseling practices, mushroom tales, and soul work practices, and I see GROWTH.
4. My time and energy are my own. I feel free from the dopamine driven impulse to be on my phone. I am comfortable in social situations: waiting in public, traveling, and spending quiet time at home, because I recognize that the quiet is pregnant with creative possibilities.
5. My boys are radiant, in large part because they have more of my loving attention. I see how being present and available for the family during my non-work hours changes the entire dynamic of our home in a positive way. Modeling a different relationship with ‘screens’ is helping them be less interested in digital input. I notice we have more eye contact, cuddles, and heart to heart connective moments because I’m not on my phone.
6. I am prioritizing my relationships in a way that is more aligned with my values. Brent and I are having date nights where I don’t look at my phone at all. We are talking, stretching or reading before bed instead of scrolling, which means we are getting better sleep and waking up more cheerful.
7. Stoked Yogi is coming to life as a place for the joy of movement. We bought boards for summer 2025 and had master trainers running a few summer trainings in the states, while I hosted 2 small ones here in Europe. Feeling strong in my body and getting back on the water has been an unexpected joyful surprise.
8. Travis Photography Co. is steadily growing, and I have space to support the admin of it. Brent is so happy being resourced by his photography, and is tapped into the local surf community through his service.
9. AmeliaTravis.com has become the thriving ecosystem I always knew it could be. I built the client pathways on my site and added in simple passive products I love at the low ticket end. It looks something like:
• Astrology: Moon Workbook > Luminary Society > Custom Reports > Astrology of Me > Readings
• Soul Work: Foundations Workbook > Antisocial Biz Club (email membership) > Foundations Course > Make the Thing & Sell the Thing > Soul Work Council > 1:1 Coaching
• Counseling: Listening circles > Soul Alchemy > 1:1 Counseling
10. I have space and time for aligned collaborative projects, including in real life - teaching yoga locally, Women of Earth development, guesting on podcasts, speaking at conferences, guest facilitating retreats, and the amazing opportunities that have come through referral. 
11. I am sharing my voice with more truth, grace and authority. 
12. 2025 was more profitable than 2024, because I streamlined my systems, cut all unnecessary expenses, hired help, and added in passive income streams. I reinstated and clearly communicated affiliate bonuses for all my offers (calling them referral compensation / resource sharing / money thank yous)
13. I have established systems that are continuing to grow my email list (without social media), I am enjoying and appreciating my creative processes (not always trying to monetize), I am using effective strategy to grow my client network through SEO, intentional PR and creative collaborations, and I am confident that I can also help my clients learn how to successfully build a profitable business without social media. 
14. My brain feels stronger. I have more mental clarity, patience, focus, and calm. I trust myself, my creativity, and my own timing. 
15. When I spend time in nature, I am all there, not checking my phone, but actually being present to what is. 
16. I am being present to what is. 

About this Newsletter

Antisocial Social Club is an experiment in human creativity and connection. For 365 days, I'm committed to sharing real talk that goes deeper than the chatter and noise of social media. I might fake my own death on social media in 2025, and if I do, this is where you'll find me instead. Please come along for the ride! No, I don't know where we're going, and I'm not sure when we'll be back. So get in, but only if you're down for a trip into creative chaos and the wild unknown.
