Shownotes

For many people social media can be a source of stress (even depression), rather than enjoyment, when it triggers perfectionistic tendencies. But it's within your power to make your social media feed a source of happiness and fun, not feelings of inadequacy or envy. In this episode, Janine and Shannon discuss strategies for making social media more enjoyable and productive.

Discussion topics include:

• One of our superfans, Shannon’s husband Mike, and how he implemented one of our suggestions

• How we’d love to hear from listeners who have implemented any of our suggestions from the podcast

• How social media can trigger perfectionistic tendencies

• Some of social media’s good points: animal videos

• And some of social media’s bad points: How images of seemingly perfect lives can set up unrealistic expectations

• How much of the perfectionism we see on social media is deceptive

• The perils of comparing your insides to someone else’s outsides

• Ways to curate a healthier social media feed

• How there’s no right way to do social media

• How Shannon is using social media in a way that’s supporting her cartooning endeavors

• Janine’s low-key strategy for doing social media for her business

• Getting in touch with why social media is important to you to help you decide how to experience it
