Shua is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Co- host of the Jewish Teens Talk Podcast

In this episode, Shua and I dive into the reality of being a frum young woman in today’s internet age - the opportunities, the challenges, and the exposure that comes with it.

We address the question of whether it is actually possible to find a healthy balance with social media, movies, and TV, and how to navigate this space while staying aligned with your values.

We explore the feeling of being “stained,” after seeing inappropriate content, and the tension of not being ready to completely cut yourself off from the internet, while also not wanting to be a passive consumer of whatever shows up on your screen.

Most importantly, we talk about how to reconcile that space in a real, grounded, and growth-oriented way.

This is an honest, nuanced conversation about raising your standards, understanding yourself, and building a relationship with media that actually reflects who you want to be.
