Soberinstagram, Screen Addiction, & a Ritual for Summer/Litha

In this episode we talk a little bit about screen addiction, ways to reduce developing it, and ways we can have a good quality social media experience. Plus, I rave about the amazing community on Soberinstagram and give a shout out to a few of my favorite sober instagrammers. And to conclude, a special ritual for Summer/Litha to honor our child-self.
