Living Honestly

Think about your philosophy of social media use. Why do you do what you do? Does it fit who you are in real life? Second, set up boundaries if you need them. Set those time limits, throw a passcode on, delete people you follow if you need to. Think about what brings you life and go from there. Last, don't forget that real people have real problems that don't often show up on social media. Don't forget to bring a lens of compassion to those you interact with online!

At The Honestly Podcast, we want to help you find the beauty of being real, the freedom of laughing at yourself, and the courage to initiate with people in your communities. And honestly, it just doesn’t get much better than that!
