Social media can chipper at some of the loudest parts of our minds, the comparison, the questioning, the bombardment of information, the overthinking, the pressure to be “on.” I’ve lived through intense moments where the noise of the online world drowned out my own voice, where a single scroll shifted my mood, and where overthinking made everything confusing. What helped me was learning how to quiet the noise without disappearing, and how to use social media in ways that supported me rather than drained me. By lowering stimulation and using creativity instead of pressure, my relationship with the online world became more sustainable, clearer and less noisy. Together, we’ll explore how to create a balanced relationship with social media. One where you can express, connect, and be inspired without losing yourself.
