## Resource

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 If you enjoy this episode, please preorder Lisa's book!
