Mental Health for Social Media Managers

Robbie Schneider joins Matt to discuss the challenges and strategies of managing social media in the healthcare sector.

Most importantly, Robbie shares the impactful lessons and personal growth she experienced while writing her book, "Social Media Sanity and Your Guide to Mental Wellness for the Digital Marketer," exploring the balance between professional responsibilities and personal well-being.
