Navigating the digital landscape, we often find ourselves at the crossroads of technology and mental health. Our conversation with Holly LaBarbera, a seasoned therapist deeply rooted in Fremont, offers a tapestry of insights into the psychological impacts of our online personas. Holly brings her experience of therapeutic wisdom to the table, shining a light on the complexities of our digital engagement, from the resurgence of literature thanks to social media influencers to the confusion and consequences of public spaces in our lives.
This episode explores human connections and the art of storytelling. Holly shares a little of her story and the lessons learned from personal interactions in the banking sector. Our conversation weaves through the contrasting realities of social media's curated lives and the authentic encounters we experience. All of this lays the ground work for a discussion about her latest book. In Holly's book we find a love story interlaced with the struggles of Kai and Josh, reminding us all of the intricate dance of relationships in our own lives.
