Motherhood & Instagram Culture (how online communities impact your motherhood experience)

How has Instagram shaped our culture and expectations around motherhood? As moms, we often turn to our phones for a sense of community. Being online can be a great way to keep in touch with old friends, make new connections, or get inspiration for your life. But not every online experience can be positive, and sometimes we find ourselves scrolling through our phones, feeling overwhelmed about our own motherhood. In my experience as a counsellor, working with moms, I see first-hand that the online culture we create has a strong impact on how we FEEL about our own motherhood.   <br /> In this episode: The role of social platforms in creating a community for moms The difference between in-person friendships and online friendships How we relate differently to real-life moms vs moms online   The ways our culture shapes us The impact our culture has on our roles as mom, wife, woman The responsibility we have to choose a culture that uplifts us   All the fun links you might enjoy  Moms30for30 wardrobe challenge When I instagrammed my own life, and not my kids #instamomclub (an OG blog post on being a mom on instagram)  Emotional needs in motherhood\ (on looking for sense of connection) Why you should date your friends’ (investing in friendship) Think the best of me (on being hard and awesome) Phone habit, episodes and worksheets Your phone habits on autopilot Intentional phone habits and boundaries   Sign up for the the Simple Saturdays email (a fun email, twice a month)   Monthly group coaching sessions   Share your thoughts with me:  Instagram Facebook
