This episode was inspired by my friend, Lauren Ellman, and her new book "BRB: A Memoir About Coming of Age in the Digital Age."
As a child of the early '90s, it feels like we literally grew up with the internet. So much so, that sometimes our identity feels intertwined with our Social Media feed. It can be challenging to distinguish between what really matters and what doesn't or what is curated and what isn't.
As someone building a business online and helping others to do the same, there is a lot of pressure to look, act, or talk a certain way. So, I wanted to use this episode to share a few tips to help you set boundaries for yourself and learn how to prioritize your Mental Health while navigating the Social Media World!
