If you are faking the funk, if you are being your true, legit self, if you are being the person you are hoping to be One Day, I don't care what you're doing, as long as you're not spreading negativity, as long as you don't you know you're not just constantly putting people down, as long as you don't have burner profiles.
Ever felt like social media is both a blessing and a curse? In this episode of 'When Coffee Meets Tea', hosts Rob Girard, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Denise Bertalovitz, a Certified Life Coach, dive into the complex world of social media. They explore how these platforms can uplift us with motivation and connection but also drag us down with negativity and unrealistic expectations.
Rob and Denise liken handling social media to handling a weapon: it requires care and mindfulness. They discuss how social media has transformed dating, often making it a double-edged sword of convenience and superficiality. The conversation then shifts to self-expression, where they emphasize the importance of being authentic online. They warn against the dangers of fast-tracked growth and making poor choices influenced by online personas.
The hosts offer practical advice on using social media wisely, from knowing when to step away to taking risks with kindness. They also touch on the role of social media in personal branding, encouraging listeners to use it as a tool for growth without compromising their true selves. This episode is a thoughtful discussion on how to navigate the digital landscape responsibly, blending empathy with real-world advice.
If you're looking to understand the highs and lows of social media, this chat over coffee and tea is for you.
