I’m Mary Laura Hunt, a normal teenager. I’ve struggled with self confidence and self-doubt comparing myself to social media “ideals”. As the first generation coming of age with social media at our fingertips, there really aren’t guide books for how we’re supposed to manage all of this.
I’m not an expert, but in this podcast, we’ll talk to them about real issues faced by real people, like you, like me!
