About this episode

We’d be lying if we said we didn’t LOVE Instagram. Hell, maybe we’re even a little addicted to it, but can Instagram make us greedy? Can seeing tropical vacations, big new houses, and beautiful weddings leave us with extreme FOMO and envy? This week we’re speaking to therapist, Nedra Glover Tawwab, to break down the psychological effects Instagram has on us. She shares her best tips on how to battle the FOMO and build some healthy boundaries with the platform. We’re not telling you to deactivate your account any time soon, but if you follow us 😉 we’ve got some tips and tricks to make sure your late night IG scrolling isn’t hurting your mental health! So give this episode a “like,” and we’ll help you deal with those pressures of Instagram perfection.
