Show Notes

Social media can be a great tool for discovering new people and new things (like this podcast!) but for new, impressionable, and unsure parents, it can often do more harm than good. 

In this episode:

  • The era we're living in right now is shaped by our interactions on social media
  • How algorithms work to find and serve what you secretly want
  • Our personal experiences with social media through our parenting journeys
  • How social media has evolved in recent years
  • The fundamental need for social comparison and how social media is changing that
  • What we can do to protect ourselves
