🫂 Escaping the Social Media Trance — Community + Agency with Elise Granata
ESCAPE THE TRANCE ⁕ REMEMBER YOUR AGENCY ⁕ BUILD COMMUNITY
Today on the pod we have a very special guest — Elise Granata of GROUP HUG!
Elise is here to chat with me about how social media erodes our agency + community building efforts — even if these platforms started as supportive relational hubs.
Join us as we wind through our teen years on Tumblr, how we dissociate on the apps, what inspires us to get offline, the dangers of optimized communities, adjusting our aesthetic expectations, "sweatshirt-level friends," and how to start your community practice.
