About this episode

This is your yearly reminder that the world exists outside of your house and outside of a screen. So many of us feel this deep seated pressure to post every aspect of our life, I know friends that refuse to walk without their apple watch charged or go to brunch without photographing it. “Instagram or it didn’t happen” is a common phrase from my generation both ironically and not. At this point, it’s become deeply ingrained in our cultural norms. 


The thing that worlds best for me is to Create as much space as possible between myself and the craving. Deleting the app, creating strict limits around non-negotiables, and reflecting honestly so I can be realistic about the negative effects.
