JHP09: How To Have A Healthy Relationship With Social Media

I’ve written about  how I balance my real life and online life  on the blog before, as well as  how to have a healthy relationship with social media  , but because this is such a big topic that so many people struggle with today, I wanted to bring it to the Joyous Health Podcast! 

This week we’re talking about how you can have a healthy relationship with social media based on things I’ve learned while growing my business on social media. You’ll learn more about how I’ve come to manage negative comments, how I create boundaries around social media and my personal life and ultimately, how I maintain a healthy relationship with social media!
