On today’s episode, Von chats with returning friend & guest Nora Rahimian about Interdependence: its meaning & impact on our lives, the pros & cons of social media for creatives, how social media can be addictive & finding hope despite what is going on in the world.


Takeaways:

• Interdependence is the idea we are not separate from each other
  
  
• Social Media & Self Care: set boundaries, block &mute accounts that don’t serve you.
  
  
• As a creative, make the art you want instead of chasing trends.
  
  
• Have a human interaction next time you go on social media.
  
  
• Social Media is addicting by design.
  
  
• We need to learn how to sit with the discomfort of what’s going on in the world vs. trying to always feel better
