About this episode

Maya Gudka wants you to embrace the positivity of social media. Maya is an executive coach at London Business School, a positive psychology researcher, and an advocate of social media for the greater good.

Today, Maya shares her insights on how social media affects our mental health. We discuss the boom of social media use (the good, the bad and the ugly), how to build a healthy online ecosystem as an independent businessperson, and how positive psychology can flip the script on digital well-being.
We talk about:

  • The independent business person online
  • Why professionals are anxious about social media
  • How can you improve your business identity?
  • Why social media is a growing research area
  • The social dilemma: necessary evil or powerful tool
  • What is positive psychology?
  • Deconstructing unhelpful comparison
