I’m excited to introduce you to today’s guest on Honing In, Amelia Hruby, PhD!

Amelia Hruby is a feminist writer, educator, and podcaster with a PhD in philosophy. She is the founder of Softer Sounds podcast studio (and the editor of Honing In!), and the host of Off the Grid, a podcast about leaving social media. Her new book, Your Attention is Sacred Except on Social Media is out now.

When Amelia announced last year that she’d be taking a sabbatical in 2026, I knew I wanted to have her on to chat about it.

Check out this episode to hear us chat about:

• Amelia’s 2026 sabbatical as a way to set boundaries with her work and spark creative energy

• Valuing theoretical and embodied knowledge when it comes to business and marketing

• Big questions folks are asking about social media, big tech, and AI

Plus, Amelia humored me by sharing her business and internet predictions for 2026, which I’m hoping do come true!

Take care and talk soon,
Dr. Kate
