Social Media: FOMO, Comparison & Connection

In this episode, I sit down with Lara Wyatt, cohost of the podcast Two Twenty-Somethings, to discuss our experiences with social media. I'm 26 and Lara is 20, so we were introduced to very different social media platforms at very different times in our lives. I reminisce about MySpace’s “top 8,” while Lara reminds me of the Snapchat “top friends” that used to get us all into trouble. And I made my first Instagram post in college, while Lara was just 14 years old. But, together we realize the realities of social media that fall on all of our shoulders, from FOMO and comparison, to connections and communication. We discuss whether or not we believe social media has made our interpersonal skills better or worse, as well as what we personally struggle with most. This is the start of a conversation I want to dive deeper into on future episodes. After you listen, let me know what you think; does social media hold more pros or cons?
