In this week's episode I'm sharing why I am taking an extended break from the social media platform, Instagram. And by extended, I mean more than just a week - I'm thinking probably the rest of the year...
Social media has done so much good for us - it allows us to communicate with those who are far away, we have the change to engage and rally around causes, and we even get to share a sliver of our personal lives. But sometimes, the good seems to be outweighed by the "bad". Think, comparison issues, growing insecurities, lurking, and even social media addiction.
These are all my own personal opinions and reasons as to why I feel it's best for me to step away from the platform for a while.
