In this episode of Growing With Sol, I dive into how social media affects our self-perception and mental wellbeing. As someone who's "chronically online" myself, I explore the complicated relationship we have with platforms that simultaneously connect us and disconnect us from reality.

I share recent statistics showing the average person spends over 140 minutes daily on social media, along with research revealing how increased screen time weakens the protective effects of high self-esteem against depression.

The comparison culture we experience online creates a distorted view of reality, as we measure our everyday lives against others' highlight reels. I discuss practical strategies for developing healthier social media habits, including creating boundaries, practicing self-validation, and building real-world connections.

Whether you're struggling with social media's impact on your confidence or simply looking to create a healthier digital lifestyle, this episode offers practical guidance for navigating our online world while protecting your self-worth.

Remember, your worth isn't defined by likes or followers. You are enough, exactly as you are. 💙
