S3E6 - New Perspective: Social media breakup with Johan Versteegh

Never before in human history has it been possible to communicate so quickly during a pandemic, social media platforms have been a key piece for the dissemination of information; however, there are multiple advantages and disadvantages that must be considered. Thanks to fast-changing news, social distancing, and a major political movement, our Internet connection has become our most important connection. A few years ago, Johan struggled enormously, really suffered from phone and social media addiction, and he knew he had to find a way to unhook himself from screens. But he didn't want to completely abstain from tech and screens; they are part of our lives, and they are here to stay. Nevertheless, he learned how to use screens mindfully, the more he became aware of the detrimental effects screens can have on us. These days he is helping individuals and families to recover from phone and social media addiction. The focus is not just on helping people with stopping "liking and posting" their lives away, but on helping them to become a better version of themselves as well. Essentially, his mission is to help people live their lives with purpose, and free from tech-addiction. In this episode, we have Johan, who is a social media expert and he takes us through the impact of social media on our lives, mental health and relationships. Johan also talks about a 6 step formula to overcome social media addiction.
