Social media has become a staple of our everyday lives. It's how we stay up to date with current events. It's how we connect with loved ones. It's how we communicate with our customers.

The numerous social media platforms found across the World Wide Web offer an array of positive benefits...as well as some negatives. In order to accentuate the positives and stave off the negatives, it's important to strike a balance in your usage, as well as not get pulled down the various rabbit holes social media networks present you.

In this Episode of Stuff My Therapist Says, Sara Makin is joined by Makin Wellness therapist Randy Potter for an in-depth discussion about the polarizing presence of social media and how to best navigate your consumption habits. Throughout this conversation, Sara and Randy share insights, commentary, and strategies you can utilize to gain a better understanding of your social media consumption habits and to determine whether you need to adjust how you utilize these popular platforms.
