Ah, social media.

We all know the challenges that come with technology that’s in our hands and platforms that are built to accelerate our use, have a big potential for addiction and are pervasive by design.

We also know the dramatic impact social media can have on our wellbeing and many of us are searching for ways to find a better balance.

We’re all in different places and in these two episodes we’ll explore where we, personally, are.

First, Fleur shares her experience about the value and benefits she found when she first used social media and how that’s changed over time to become something that more invasive and troubling.

What strategies has she used to limit her use of the various platforms and where would she like to eventually get to in reducing her habit of using her phone to access these platforms?

You can follow us on Instagram @coffeewithfleur, or not. As you’ll hear, we’re not too active on there.  

In the next episode we’ll hear from David, who has removed himself from social media completely (well sort of, we’ll get into that).

We’ll also check in a few months time to see how we are both going in our efforts to find that elusive balance and higher wellbeing.
