Social Media & Self-Worth

Social Media Platforms were created to be addictive. Sadly, many of us have fallen into that trap of co-dependency & can’t function without constantly checking our phones. A lot of people feel compelled to post so much vulnerable content online - we share our creativity, our dreams, what inspires us, what we care about... And when those posts don’t get the likes & shares we’re hoping for or people leave unwanted comments, we start to believe that we’re not worthy, lovable or good enough.

In today’s episode of The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about social media and how dangerous it is for people to allow it to dictate their self-worth. We take a look at how we’ve become hostages to these online spaces where we feel that if we don’t post to them every day, sometimes even multiple times per day, then we fear that we don’t even exist. HA!

I want to encourage you to start using Social Media as a tool for self-expression - rather than as a means for you to get feedback about your value as a human being. Because “if you already like yourself - then social media likes don’t feckin’ matter!”
