So I've been off โ I haven't been on social media for nearly a month now and my life feels so much better.
I feel so much happier and just I feel much better because of it.
You've been off social media for how long now?
Would you say โ I mean, I'm interested to know how you feel after โ if I'm feeling that after a month or maybe this is just your normal now.
Yeah, and I think what's helpful for this conversation to set this up is just that through this TV show, which is on ABC and ABC iView, you travelled the world and met with world-leading experts on this and you've spoken to them, you've learnt a lot from them, and that will kind of help shape today's conversation, I'm guessing.
