Social media apps are designed to keep you addicted.


So it's not entirely your fault that you struggle to get off of social media.


Without the right strategy, you'll stay addicted.

This episode will forever change your relationship with social media.

  • Why I deactivated my personal Instagram & recommend you do the same
  • The issue with editing on social media
  • How social media causes people with perfectly good lives to feel lonely & unfulfilled
