Today on the podcast, Becky (from ByBeckyCo & The Well Pod) and I chat all things social media. From the Psychology behind WHY we all feel so drawn to our phones, to how we both got into it, the benefits we see in it and then also the effects, we feel, that it can have on connection. It’s a real conversation by 2 wellness podcasters who confidently confess our love/hate relationship with these platforms!
