Finally! An episode for all the social-media-ambivalent among us.
 
Today I’m resharing a conversation I had with Becca Piastrelli for her podcast Belonging — where we go DEEP into how social media makes us feel, including unpacking why I left Instagram AND why Becca has stayed on the platform.

 
Tune in to hear about:

• My journey with social media, including how it felt to invest thousands of hours & $$$ on the apps
• Anxious attachment & my decision to leave Instagram
• The creative inspiration AND loneliness I felt after I left
• Why we find community on social media
• How our personal & emotional wellbeing are connected to our online presence.
• Misinformation, toxic algorithms, and capitalism
