TWR 304: The Comparison Trap: Social Media and Midlife Anxiety

Are you falling into the social media comparison trap? Many of us do, which is why I dive into this struggle in this episode of The Wellness Revolution podcast and share my personal experiences. 

 

I discuss the dangers of falling into the comparison trap on social media and how it contributes to mid-life anxiety. I also dive into the curated nature of social media, the impact of filters and altered videos on self-esteem, tips for navigating social media, and why we should prioritize real-world connections.
