Social media can be a great resource for growth and inspiration, yet can easily become dangerous when it turns into a tool for comparison.

But how exactly do you go about consuming media in a beneficial way as a Christian woman? That’s what my guest, Katie Bulmer, is here to chat with us about.  Katie is an online mentor to college girls, speaker, and host of the Truth for Your Twenties podcast, and today, she and I are diving in to make sure you know the ins and outs of how to handle media use as a Christian woman without falling into the comparison trap day in and day out.

In today’s episode, we’ll be talking all things social media, comparison, body image, and how the media skews our view of reality. Nobody actually has it all together either, even though it may seem that way when we see others’ highlight reel as we’re scrolling. Throughout this episode, you’ll learn some strategies to help you see through the photoshopped versions of reality and broaden your perspective when it comes to media intake.

You’ll hear us cover topics like:

📸  How creating and editing media content can easily twist our expectations of reality

💁‍♀️  Simple strategies to reduce comparison and negative self-image from social media

🌎  A lie you might be telling yourself when you use the word, “everyone”

🧠 What pluralistic ignorance is and why it matters for the Christian woman seeking better body image

📲 Ways to set healthy boundaries with your social media usage
