In today’s episode, continuing our mini-series exploring the theme of Identity in Motherhood, we discuss the intersection of social media and motherhood, and specifically how it affects our identity as moms.

In a world where everyone seems to have a perfectly curated online presence, how can we stay true to ourselves as mothers? We discuss how to stay authentic in your identity on the social media world, how to find balance when navigating the world of social media, and how we can use social media for the benefit of creating a community and a support network.

In this episode, Yamel is joined by Laura Byrne from Tampa Bay Parenting. Laura is an award-winning former TV news journalist who spent 15+ years in newsrooms across the state of Florida. She is now a proud wife and mom of two, and works to share positive news stories and events with families in Tampa Bay.

Some of takeaways from this episode include:

Take a break if needed

If social media is impacting your mental health and not serving you, give yourself permission to take a break from it altogether. You can do this by taking time off from it for a few weeks at a time, or you can set a time limit on your phone to notify you when you have spent a certain time within an App, because we all know it’s so easy to lose track of time when you are scrolling.

Do an audit and unfollow people if needed

It’s good practice to do a social media audit every now and again, to unfollow people who are making you feel bad about yourself, or impacting your mental health in a negative way. Just like you’d keep your friendship circles tight, keep your online circle tight too, and like with most things in life, ask yourself: does this person bring me joy? If they don’t, then click unfollow, because there are so many amazing influencers out there who can bring you joy and inspiration instead - and remember, social media is a highlight reel, not real life.

Be aware if social media is taking focus away from real life

If social media is taking time away from real life experiences that you could be having, that’s a sign that it may be negatively affecting your identity and mindset. Take this as an opportunity to do check in with yourself and to prioritise spending time with friends and family, having experiences in real life and off your phone instead.

Use social media for support and community

Social media can be an amazing way to create a community and a support network, so utilise the platforms for these positi
