0:00.0	Hey Mama, I'm Jenna, and you're listening to the Joy-Filled podcast. I'm here to help stay-at-home moms thrive by equipping you with tools to help you acknowledge and embrace your season and encourage you to
0:22.9	bring joy back into your motherhood. You'll walk away with everything you need to truly experience
0:29.8	the fullness of joy in this beautiful season of raising babies at home. So reheat or refill
0:36.7	wherever you're at in your day, your coffee,
0:39.6	and let's live joy-filled together.
0:48.8	Social media, Instagram specifically. We love it. We hate it. We love to hate it. So let's talk about it. I have been on
1:00.1	Instagram for probably close to like 10 years, maybe longer. Facebook definitely longer. And it,
1:08.7	there's been a lot of great things about being on social media in my life. I can't deny that. I have
1:14.1	met and connected with so many amazing people and some of which I call my real friends now. And it's led to some

2:03.0	off of Instagram for the year, 2023.
2:07.3	And so I really wasn't planning on saying much else about it.
2:12.2	But after I told some friends about it, they were like, that is so great. That sounds like such a good
2:21.8	idea. I want to do that too. And so after hearing that response just from some friends,
2:27.6	I thought, you know, why not just do an episode about it? I do a podcast episode about everything else. So why not just
2:36.2	speak from my heart and share a little bit, like peel back the curtain a little bit on this
2:42.1	kind of ongoing struggle that social media brings for me and share a little bit more as to why I made the decision to go off of social media.
2:53.8	So that's what we're doing today.
