My breakup with Instagram

Today’s episode is one of the most personal and vulnerable I’ve ever shared.And it’s not about my negative body image or disordered eating--it's about my relationship to social media. I’ve been sitting on this for a very long time and a big moment last weekend that was a turning point for me made me realize that it was time to take action.The truth is that there are MANY parallels between our relationship with food and our relationship with social media. And that’s a big reason why I wanted to talk about my experience. But there are also some major differences and I share one of them in this episode and how its impacting my mental health. I talk about what it’s like to work as a business owner who creates content for IG, why the nature of the work that I do heavily influences the type of content that I share and how consuming content on IG has impacted my well being. And I also get into why I enjoy being on social media and how that’s shaped my work. I’ll let you know about changes I’ve made and am thinking about making and why it feels so scary to do that. There’s a lot of nuance and a lot of messiness in this episode—I’m not sharing skills or coaching. I’m talking about a very personal struggle with the hope that it helps others feel less alone and reminds us of our common humanity.
