💏 You CAN Make Friends Without Social Media — with Caitlin Metz & Rebekah Taussig

OMG CROSSOVER EPISODE! 🫶 

Today on the show, I'm celebrating our 99th episode (and my four-years-off-social-media anniversary!) by sharing a conversation I had with Rebekah Taussig and Caitlin Metz for their podcast Scratch That.

We get into things I've NEVER talked about publicly before, including:
  • How my three-year-old self picked my present-day career path
  • The four-minute version of my leaving-social-media story
  • What Instagram has meant to Rebekah as a space to share her life & disability advocacy
  • How social media supports introverts like Caitlin with relationship-building & belonging
  • Ways to express your (queer) identity without social media
  • The value of breaking out of our echo chambers & building local community
  • How to stop using social media to numb out 🙃
 
Tune in for an amazing, multi-faceted conversation, and if you're one of our parents listening, make sure you go subscribe to Scratch That: Parenting & ReParenting Off Script on Apple and Spotify for more incredible episodes!
