2. How to break free from the hyperperception rabbit hole
3. Balancing your online brand image (work self) and your personal self
4. Research-based tips to minimize the negative impacts of social media
5. Real life tips from Jessica Gee of The Bucket List Family - how she uses social media to give back, why she just “had to walk away,” and a perspective shift for why people tend to post their best selves online.
We learn about the impact social media is having on us and our communication. Dr. Spottswood researches how communication technology impacts people's everyday lives and close relationships. We discuss deception, comparisons, authenticity, the positivity bias, and more. Mega influencer Jessica Gee of The Bucket List Family joins me to dissect what we learned and how we can apply these communication skills to our lives.
