Overcoming Comparison & Doomscrolling on Social Media

Social Media Boundaries for Better Mental Wellbeing ✨

Hello dear friend,

This week I’m opening up about my journey to creating a more peaceful and joyful relationship with social media.

Social media can be fun, entertaining, and a great way to stay in touch. But for many of us, it’s also a major source of self-comparison, overstimulation, and disconnection from our real lives. In this episode, I share how I’ve come to set better boundaries around how I use social, and how you can too.

Whether you’re on Instagram or TikTok daily or just check in every now and then, I hope these reflections help you rethink what you’re allowing into your mind and spirit.

Here are a few takeaways from the episode:

💓 Self-comparison is natural, but dangerous when left unchecked. I talk about social comparison theory and how it’s impacted my body image, mindset, and joy over the years.

💓 Doomscrolling doesn’t help. I reflect on how social media deepened my depression and what it took to break the habit.

💓 Your time and attention are sacred. I share how dopamine, notifications, and overstimulation affect our brains, and why boundaries are an act of self-care.

💓 What you consume shapes who you become. We talk about the biblical principle of guarding your thoughts, and how to curate a healthier online environment.

💓 Practical ways to do better. I offer gentle, honest suggestions for how to use social media more intentionally, without falling into the trap of comparison or distraction.

Before you go…

You are not crazy or weak for feeling hooked on or drained by social media. It happens to the best of us. With a few simple tweaks, you’ll be set up for a healthier and more empowered relationship with social media.

You deserve to feel connected to your life, not just your screen. I hope this week’s episode encourages you to reflect, reset, and move forward with more intention.

With love,
