Summary
Social media is everywhere. You can't escape it. It's how we connect with people, follow our idols, retrieve information, stalk our ex's and show off the best bits of our own lives. But is it becoming all consuming? Is it taking away from our own reality? Are we living vicariously through others without even realising? Should we be using it more intentionally? How can we use it more intentionally? What are the positives? Listen in and explore the depths of it all with me in this episode.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode number 23 of the Bouncing Back podcast with me, James Middleton. |
| 0:13.4 | I have been thinking a lot about the topic of this podcast today. |
| 0:19.6 | Do I think about it every day? I was going to say I think about this topic |
| 0:22.7 | every day, but I don't. I'm not that sad. But I have had so many of you guys messaging me, |
| 0:28.5 | asking me to talk about it, including a lot of my clients actually, because I've touched upon it |
| 0:34.3 | several times before, but never really gone into that much detail. |
| 0:39.0 | And that is exactly why I started my podcast in the first place. |
| 0:42.2 | So I can natter away and get right beneath the surface of a lot of, I think, very important discussion points. |

| 0:55.8 | of this podcast, so you might be thinking, what is James talking about? So today we're going to be |
| 1:00.1 | getting right into the thick of social media. And if it's destroying you or not. But before I do |

| 1:25.2 | a little bit of help, you know, posted on your Instagram and Twitter and tagged me. My podcast is still in the top 1% of podcasts in the world, |
| 1:34.1 | which is freaking crazy. I never in my wildest dreams thought that so many of you would be |
| 1:40.1 | listening to me. So I'm a very happy chapy right now and I'm feeling super grateful. But I know, |
| 1:49.0 | I know that sometimes episodes take a little bit longer to come out and you have to wait a |
| 1:54.1 | little bit longer than you'd like. I mean, in an ideal world, I'd like to pump one of these out |
| 1:58.3 | every week, but it's actually, it's actually quite |
| 2:01.8 | difficult sometimes given that other things go on in life. And on that point, actually, you know what? |
| 2:08.2 | I had someone DM me. Oh, the cheek of the person. When I said I was bringing this episode out |
