Today I’m joined by writer, therapist, and creative Lisa Olivera to talk about how her work and life have shifted as her Instagram platform's grown to over 400,000 followers.

Together, we dive into:

• Two reasons Lisa joined Instagram + how it felt as her account grew
• The allure of online business + what we’re “supposed to do” when we have a big platform
• Unpacking the rise of the “instagram therapist” + the content-ification of therapy
• Why Lisa started her Substack newsletter + how it’s supported her work
• Social media addiction + the compulsion to post/like/share/scroll
• Facing the big hole that’s there when social media’s not there
• How to make the choice to stay on social media (or not)
