Surprise Episode!!! Ep 9: Social Media Filters, Mental Health, and Taking off the Band-aid with Me
Surprise episode with yours truly!
Social media filters smooth your face out, get rid of blemishes, make your lips bigger, give you perfect eyelashes, hide features you aren’t too proud of (definitely my nose) and alter the angles of your face.
But at what expense?
In this episode, I dive into the unattainable standards of filters, and the impact they have on our mental health.
Subliminally with all the images we see throughout the day, are we going to think these filtered images are real and attainable?
What are some root causes for using a filter?
How does it impact our self-esteem?
What are some tips to limiting the impact of filters on our mental health and self-esteem?
I get into all of this and more!
