Shannon...settle down please! Today's episode gets a little heated as Shannon shares her current frustrations with Social Media. While social media has been a great platform to grow businesses, connect with family & friends, and stay up to date with what is happening in the world, there are also a lot of not so good things out there... With her recent announcement of "Sweating For The Wedding" Shannon is seeing how controversial this topic really is and how divided content creators and consumers can get over these topics. Sharing both sides of the argument, she is talking about how she is not letting it get to her and how we can all take a stand against cancel culture.  Shannon isn't just ranting frustrations for all of today's episode (just a majority of it ;) ) she is also talking about how social media impacts our mental health.

Shannon will share all of her tips for how to reduce screen time and use social media in a way that is benefiting and serving you. Remember, it is your choice of what is impacting you day to day!

Alcohol… when you hear that word what comes to mind for you?

Kayla Lyons joins Shannon in today’s interview to share her story of her journey to sobriety. Kayla helps to destigmatize the common misconceptions when it comes to alcohol dependencies.

Is social media toxic? Why aren’t I going viral? Let’s talk to the queen of going viral for her Peloton dancing videos on social media, Britney Crosson. Brittany takes the Journiers on her journey of going from being an actress on Myspace with no aspiration of becoming a social media manager to launching a social media management company that has been able to provide her and her family the life of their dreams. Britney empowers other women to do the same through her Small Biz Social Society so that they can start showing up as themselves. Britney and Shannon are talking all things social media like how to show up, how it can help and hurt or help your mental health, and the power of community that can be built through social media. Britney is helping everyone to know not what the social media rules are, but to know how we can confidently and authentically show up as ourselves.
