THE FEELS BEHIND SOCIAL MEDIA | EP 016

Welcome back, Feels Family! In this episode, Johnny and Lisa dive deep into the complicated world of social media — the good, the bad, and the algorithm that seems to know exactly how you're feeling. 🌟

They get real about:

• The constant pressure of comparing your life to the "perfect" highlight reels you see online. 
• How social media sets unrealistic standards for both men and women and the impact it can have on your self-esteem. 
• The importance of curating your feed to protect your energy and find genuine motivation instead of negativity. 
• The way the algorithm feeds into your current emotions and how you can take back control. 
• How "social media" is shifting to "consumer media" and what that means for all of us. 

PLUS: Johnny and Lisa share their exclusive C.A.R.E. Toolkit

 (Curate, Audit, Rest, Engage) to help you build a healthier relationship with your social media feed!

Of course, a refreshing shoutout to our amazing sponsor, OuLa-Lade Lemonade 🍋.

✨ Question of the Week: ✨ This week, we challenge you to a two-part feed refresh:

1. Who is one person or account you follow that genuinely makes you feel good? Give them a shoutout in the comments! 
2. What's one account you can mute or unfollow this week to protect your peace?
