Welcome back friends! This episode is Part 2 of the Social Dilemma. If you haven’t listened to part 1, tune into EP 87 first, then come back to this one.

Today’s discussion is important, because we unpack the influence of social media on our behaviors, the control of truth, comparison-itis and are we in control of our algorithm?

The Social Dilemma. Have you seen the Netflix documentary yet? If not, I encourage you to watch it, and if you have seen it, then you probably have a lot of thoughts, questions, opinions and concerns surrounding social media.

Recently, I was invited to discuss this documentary with a few other female entrepreneurs who use social media heavily for their businesses. Topics include how it influences us, manipulates us and controls our experiences.

My friend Lora was kind enough to give me permission to share this discussion with you. This week, I’ll be sharing 3 parts to the panel…listen in to Part 1 and let me know what you think!

It seems everywhere you turn on social media, you’re bombarded with business and social media advice, tips, strategies and claims that if you do “abc”, you’ll get “xyz”.

What’s the end result when we consume all this information? Comparison-itis! It’s certainly a real thing. I’ve suffered from it, and from time to time I still do!

So what to do about it? Clear your mind and all distractions. Let’s get real and honest on this topic and dig ourselves out from under all the noise. Grab your coffee and let’s go.

And just so we're clear...love Tom Hiddleston, love Loki in the movies! I am his #1 fan!
