🌿 When the Ache Remains — The Joy/Grief of Social Media with Lisa Olivera [BEST OF]
▸ Show notes from the creator
Today I’m resharing my conversation with writer, therapist, and creative Lisa Olivera in honor of her upcoming book — When the Ache Remains: Lessons on Tending to the Unfixable and Finding Beauty Anyway— which is out on April 28th.
Lisa and I talk about how her work and life changed as her Instagram platform grew to over 400,000 followers. Together, we dive into:
Two reasons Lisa joined Instagram + how it felt as her account grew
The allure of online business + what we’re “supposed to do” when we have a big platform
Social media addiction + the compulsion to post/like/share/scroll
Facing the big hole that’s there when social media’s not there
How to make the choice to stay on social media
