Summary

On today's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are discussing the information overload we all experience on a daily basis and how to move toward more conscious consumption of media, the news, etc. They answer your questions about social media's role in the overwhelm, the "shoulds" and comparison culture, how to create boundaries with consumption, parenting social media accounts that make us feel like we're failing, social media therapists vs. social media "therapists," why seeing content on TikTok/Reels doesn't lead to lasting change, why it's so easy to believe what we read on the Internet, and so much more! The episode ends with a Dear Em and Jen about social media comparison as a new mom. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! PS: Fast forward to around 5 minutes into their convo to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content.
