Welcome to the new I Love That For You! Today we're getting meta about Meta.

First, we chat how the podcast in this new format came to be before diving into our own social media diets / habits.

Then we dive into our listener email from Anxiously, Post Issues--dealing with freezing up and self-editing before posting and comparing and despairing. We walk our listener through some (hopefully) helpful tips and tricks on dealing with the compare and despair vicious cycle of social media.

On We Think You'll Love This! we recommend two great resources to help you get offline just a little bit more:

- Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture by Kyle Chayka

- Social Media Escape Club by Seth Werkhesier

- Bonus: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt

- The Honest Broker by Ted Giola

- Plan English with Derek Thompson - Is Pop Culture Worse Than Ever?

On We Hate This For You! we rate some (very) triggering social media scenarios from you, dear listeners.

Finally we give some tips and tricks for healthy Meta use to go forward.
