About this episode
It’s no surprise that social media has become a popular topic to discuss in daily conversations. From the newest Tik Tok trend to that funny video forwarded to you during lunch, it occupies a large chunk of our everyday lives. I never look forward to the notification my phone gets at the end of the week on my daily screentime, and I bet you don’t either.Today, we hear from model Max Emerson and psychotherapist Matthew Dempsey. Emerson and Dempsey are also social media creators. They share their own struggles with social media consumption, how it affects people’s everyday lives, and how the COVID-19 pandemic challenges it all.
