Welcome to another episode of the Me Skills Podcast, where we lean into self-love and great ideas that build a better life.

This is the eighth episode of a special series where we’re recording episodes that do a deep dive into each of the nine challenges included in the Stretch Yourself Mindset Challenge that is running in January 2025.

This episode is all about Challenge #8: Social Media Influence Detox. Listen in as we share our love-hate relationship with social media, explore its impact on mental health and communication, and offer strategies for maintaining a healthy digital presence.
