We heard Jameela Jamil say these words on a Feminists Don’t Wear Pink podcast episode and we were like OMG YES Instagram will 100% make you feel poor, fat and unloved (aka not enough) if you let it.
The good thing is that we can CHOOSE who we follow. The not so good thing is that it’s so easy to forget this and find yourself following all the accounts that make you feel bloody crap about your life.
And let’s remember most Instagram feeds are carefully curated. They are not showing a whole story, especially the accounts that make you feel poor, fat and unloved… those accounts are most certainly NOT showing you the full story.
Give us the depth, the real, give us the magic in the mess over perfect, shiney, fake, surface-level any day!

Stuff we talked about…
- We did a massive social media cull. It was amazing. Do this and do this regularly!
- It’s getting stuck with comparison… it’s not Instagram, it’s just become easier to compare now.
- Know you are amazing and beautiful just as you are RIGHT NOW.
