Ep 284: Disrupt Your Feed - Social media detox with The Female Lead
Mar 06, 2023, 06:00 AM
Mick Coyle is joined by Psychologist Dr Terri Apter to discuss the findings of a five year long study by The Female Lead.
The research looked at how teenage girls and young women felt about their social media use, and themselves, if they followed more "positive" role models in their feeds instead of a typical airbrushed celebrity.
The results are in, and offer an insight into how we might all be able to use social media more safely in the future, with our own wellbeing and aspiration at the forefront.
