The Impact of Social Media Usage on Mental Health: "When the overall number of hours that people spend more hours, they're on the top 25% or even top 10% of users in terms of hours spent per day on social media. The correlation between those robust users of social media and mental health challenges like depression and anxiety is way, way up."

The Impact of Social Media on Managing Conflict: "When there's an incident on social media where somebody comes after you with a lot of heat or says bad things about you or your business, in the modern marketplace of social media, how do we handle all that?"

"Maintaining a Healthy Relationship with Social Media: And when I do decide to check what's going on in the social platforms that I choose to partake in, I'm in a centered place. I'm ready for it. And I've had some centering practice time."

"Choosing the Right Social Media Platform for Your Goals: So you might think about which platforms fit your goal for most likely to move the needle on your goals and which ones are less important and which ones can you just say, you know what? Right now I don't need to invest in that platform?"

The Importance of Time and Space for Complex Conversations: "And by definition, if you're doing an interview with somebody on a podcast or you have a YouTube channel where you're going to spend 20 minutes and really unpack something where you write a blog post and it's very thoughtful and you can say, well, here are some of the things that have happened in the past that maybe not everybody knows."

Creating a Deep Dive Content Channel: "If something gets heated or it's very current but it feels complex in a social media environment could easily be a place where people with very intense emotions get into conflict with each other, where you can hold the kind of space you can create the container that allows the kind of nuanced and multilayered conversation that you want to hold."

The Importance of Taking a Break: "Your business isn't going to come crashing down because you took a 72 hours fast or you took a week off."

The Importance of Taking Time Off: "I do nature experiences, trail runs, and there's times if I'm in the Gila National Forest, the largest block of wilderness in the Lower 48 here in New Mexico, an incredible place. There's large sections of the Gila where my phone doesn't even work if I wanted it to. And that's for a text, let alone getting on the internet. It's just very rural when I'm in that kind of wilderness I recharge and my well being, I come home and the people who love me like, oh my gosh, you look so relaxed, so happy. It's like your eyes are sparkly. It does something for me."

"Prioritizing Your Inner Voice: Go remember who you are as a human who's not primarily in that moment listening to large crowds of other humans, but what's that inner voice?"

Navigating Social Media and Harsh Topics: "Number four, don't attempt to primarily deal with harsh topics on the social platforms themselves, at least most of the time. That's more likely to get into those kind of very reactive conversations where that polarization vortex kind of happens on your page or where you're sucked into something that feels like it's not serving you and could potentially be harmful to your goals."
