Airplane Mode
Knowing when to fully disconnect for safety, clarity, or self-preservation. A total systems safeguard.
Maria Georges and Turning Down the Bachelorette
Airplane Mode is the decision to fully disconnect for self-preservation — a total systems safeguard. Maria Georges made the decision to go home to Toronto, step away from the public-facing world she had just entered, and stop the inbound flood of expectations, excitement, and pressure. Turning down the Bachelorette was essentially activating airplane mode on an entire chapter before it could take her somewhere she wasn't ready to go.
