I believe that I can tell a lot about a woman's emotional health based on how much time she spends on social media. I know that might sound a little bit weird, but social media has a bigger impact on your mind, brain, self-esteem, and self-image than you might think.

And THAT is the elephant in the room that I bring up on today’s podcast:  Facebook and Instagram and other forms of social media (if you allow it) can be used as powerful tools to connect, share parts of your life, and keep your finger on the pulse of the lives of people that matter to you. But if you're not careful, they can easily become a weapon of comparison-itus, unattainable standards, isolation, and loneliness. 

On top of that thought, for the women out there that ALREADY struggle with self-esteem, body image, or self-worth, I believe it can be even MORE dangerous.  And that’s why I felt called to simply have a conversation about it and take a look at how it is TRULY impacting us. 

In this episode of the podcast, I teach you some valuable distinctions that will help you discover if you are the one influencing it, or if it is the one controlling you. I even give you an action plan on how you can take back ownership of your Social Brain and how to  ensure that you have a healthy ‘relationship’ with social media.
