Kelly tells Alexa about her intentional social media journey, where purposely decided that she would build herself a social media presence that would support her and her family. Alexa then unpacks the operant conditioning that social media platforms use to get people online and to keep them there and how that makes us focus on what others think and not on ourselves.
