- Find yourself lurking on social media repeatedly? Find yourself constantly logging in to check notifications? This TEDx talk, from a millennial who has grown up with it and is now an adult in their 30s, questions the bigger picture on what this is doing to our natural, instinctive human self and the re-conditioning it is causing.
This talk steps away from the subjects of social media and mental health, addiction, anxiety, depression, income generation and connection, and invites you to look at it in a fresh, exciting and inspiring way.

Very true words Kizzie. I have seen the rise of negativity and can now see now how those making controversial comments are the ones that get me to respond - which is exactly what they want and what they are rewarded for!!
Incredible- so well delivered and engaging.
"Theres no backspace bar to life" ... whoa. Truth.
A very thought-provoking topic and well put. Well done, Kizzie!
Really well delivered, Kizzie, well done!
Nice
Great talk. Really made me think
In a small way, I've been saying the same thing for a very long time.
Inspiring as always
Food for thought for a society that needs to wake up to the subtle but life altering impacts of social media!! 👏🏻
Fantastic Ted Talk - such an important topic, thoughtfully and provocatively explored! Great work Kizzie!
Well done Kizzie, amazing talk you're a, true inspiration and you should be super proud of yourself. 👌👍👌👍 Xxx
Excellent talk Kizzie, relevant to everyone using social media 👏
I believe strong self-esteem is the foundation for a healthy social media presence and being ourselves online. But that is hard to come by, as the opinions of others online do what they can to try and mould us into being something other than who we are through fear. Fantastic talk Kizzie, im in awe. :)
Made me think about the time I’m spending on social media and how I’m using it
She’s right. Imagine what it would be like for people who are taken away from all that they are and all others truly are. Imagine what a horrible struggle that would be internally and imagine how many people no matter how they are connected or how much money or how many likes they are effected and to what degree. People have written about this dissociative dystopia for ages (I have no mouth and I must scream) but we have solved nothing. My opinion is that this media can’t exist without being reinforced by reality and if it doesn’t work symbiotically it cannot survive off a parasitic relationship as it counts on the wellbeing of the people it feeds on. Don’t forget this is all programming. It doesn’t have to work that way, but it is made to, which is called exploitation.
That was amazing Kizzie!
The negative interations point has me thinking about the appeal now on tik tok to bring haters to your channel.
If someone is more likely to interact because they view what you're saying negatively, then being controversial drives up your views.
So you can capitalise on the discourse they bring. Is that really a good thing?
I found this talk very thought provoking and it rang alarm bells with me. That someone who works in Social Media who is not on the hate wagon has concerns and is voicing them so eloquently. Great work, thank you.
I'm lucky i quit my Instagram 2 years ago. Best decision ever... I feel free of it, no pressure to post or to like something.
No Trips only for the pictures on Instagram, only Trips for myself and my family to make memories in our heads.
Beautiful talk, Kizzie! A thought-provoking talk very gracefully delivered. It’s an important message for each of us consider, and find that balance to share ourselves authentically, but without pressure to share too much or too little! Way to go! 👏🏼👏🏼
Absolutely perfect! Brilliant and so eloquently spoken 🙌
Amazing Kizzie! You speak so beautifully, so proud of you!
A very insightful and articulate talk, which opens up a lot of really important ideas about social media today. Well said, Kizzie!
Great to hear from a social media professional on how we can better use the platforms. Love it ❤️
The food selfie anecdote - pretty stark
Amazing talk and more pivotal in its need to be heard than ever.
Truly incredible, eye-opening and inspiring.💖
Social media peaked at Myspace.
Nicely articulated…
