This week on Real Pod, Victoria is joined by former YouTuber, vlogger, and content creator, Cloe Feldman. Since she was 14 years old, Cloe built a YouTube empire with over 5 million subscribers, a full team of employees, and collaborations with some of the biggest brands in the world. Despite all of this success, Cloe made the daring decision to leave it all behind. Victoria and Cloe explore the impact of social media addiction, the need to prioritize real-life connections, using social media as a means of numbing emotions, and how a meditation retreat changed Cloe's entire life.      More from Cloe:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cloe/
