I got the impression they think I’m not cool anymore, but I told them that by not always trying to be the ‘content’ we feel much, much more content. It was time for me to go, but I know I'll hear from them soon. They'll be updating their status and hitting post before I even turn away 📱

Can we be real for a minute? When our team behind the weekly Better Social Spotlight caught up about this week's roundup we all had one thing in common, we were feeling social'd out 📵

Social media is connected to everything we do. It can bring so much joy, inspiration and connection to our days, but sometimes it does the opposite. So this week, we're sharing this as a reminder that sometimes making social better is saying goodbye to doom scrolling and hello to some time away from screens 💜💚

How are you feeling about social this week?
