Navigating the Impact of Social Media: A Discussion on Boundaries, Comparison, and the Power of Creation.

In this episode, we dive into the negative effects of social media, especially on those who consume it without contributing or creating anything of their own. 

The conversation touches on the dangers of comparing oneself to often idealized online profiles, the prowling sense of negativity and perfectionism, and customers' confusion when they come across random business boundaries posted online without context.

We discuss the importance of intention behind social media use and that it should primarily serve as a platform for sharing and inspiration rather than a source of stress. 

Social media users should set personal parameters for engagement and use the platform as a tool rather than allow it to consume their time and energy negatively.
