Ever felt like social media is more treadmill than tool? You’re not alone. In this milestone episode, Ros and Laura unpack the very real phenomenon of social media burnout—why it happens, how to prevent it, and what to do if you’re already there.
From chasing algorithms to the pressure of constant content creation, they share both mindset shifts and practical strategies to help you stay visible without losing your joy (or your sanity).
Oh, and stick around to the end—because there’s a huge announcement about what’s next for the podcast.
