170: Feeling Trapped by Social Media? Looking for signs with Sandy Cooper *part 1* / Episode 2 of the Social Media Mini-Series

Have you felt burdened by social media? Have you considered leaving or taking a break from social media, but worry about what you’d miss out on? Are there reasons you believe you ‘have to’ or ‘need to’ be on social media? In this episode Sasha chats with Sandy Cooper, a Bible study teacher, podcast host of The Balanced MomCast, writer, and professionally certified home chef that helps frazzled women find peace. Sandy shares about her life from motherhood, to the books she has written, and the role social media has played in her life. She talks about the way many of us use social media, for hours each day, which by the way, is one of the red flag signs of a social media addiction. Sandy shares how fear kept her on social media in a number of different ways and how it began 'sucking the life out of her' before she committed to go against the grain and take a one year social media hiatus. God showed her how social media was a weight that she was carrying that was preventing her from effectively running the race that God had called her to. This is certainly an episode that you don't want to miss. Be sure to come back to listen to part 2 of this episode where Sandy shares the top 3 reasons you might need a break from social media.
