Episode 12: Candace Molatore + We Tried a Digital Detox
What do you say we cut the intro short and get right to the good stuff this week?
We are honored to host Candace Molatore (Opens in a new window) on this episode of We Tried Wellness! Candace is a true multi-hyphenate: Portland-native, social media strategist, self-love advocate, digital influencer. Candace tells us about about the formative experiences that influenced her decision to unapologetically celebrate her differences at an early age — and how she now uses social media to send messages of body positivity, self love, and inclusion to others who seeking representation and community…but also sometimes just some great fashion inspiration.
Later, J + A recount their experiences implementing social media timers on their cell phones. Did we find enlightenment by putting stricter time limits on our IG usage? Listen to find out, y’all.
