In this episode, I’m getting real about why I don’t watch Instagram stories, and no, it’s not because I don’t care about people’s lives. A few years back, I did a social media detox that completely changed the way I use apps like Instagram and TikTok.

Instead of passively consuming stories, I realized I’d rather build genuine connections through direct check-ins and real conversations. And I’m not alone, today I’m joined by a special guest to dive even deeper into this topic. Together, we talk about how social media boundaries can protect your mental space, how to stay intentional online, and why sometimes less really is more.

If you’ve ever caught yourself mindlessly tapping through stories, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about using social media on your terms, with honesty, intention, and maybe a little tough love.
