"We focus too much on what we seem to be, rather than who we actually are." - Lucy Woodward

Lucy's chatting all things social media in this episode, including its effects on our mental health, echo chambers of disinformation and its power as a tool for social change. If you were equally shocked by the storming of the US Capitol last week, have ever struggled with comparison and low self-worth while scrolling through Instagram or sometimes feel more isolated than connected from being on social media, this one's for you. Lucy offers her thoughts on the huge role social media plays in our lives as well as some advice for giving your mind well-deserved a break from it all!
