Is social media helping us build real connections or is it quietly pulling us apart?In this episode, I dive into how social media might be impacting our relationships both online and in real life. After a recent conversation with my therapist, I realized that a lot of us are struggling to form meaningful connections. With everyone putting out curated versions of themselves on social media, it can be hard to know if we're getting to know the real person or a made-up persona. I also talk about how constantly seeking "likes" and "follows" online can affect our self-worth. I offer some simple steps to help reset and refocus on building genuine connections.And of course, don’t forget to grab your copy of the Reflections Worksheet!
