Summary

Social media is a large part of our world and, for better or worse, our main source of information. Our guest, Priscilla Davis started her Instagram account, SheSharesGoodness, to encourage anyone struggling with depression or anxiety and to help bring more light and truth to the world.

She begins by discussing her own battle with depression and how she found help through therapy and understanding her relationship with the Savior (5:06). Priscilla shares her experience with a pilot program from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints called “Finding Strength in the Lord: Emotional Resilience for Self Reliance” (13:16).

Putting your ideas and thoughts on social media can often times be met with some backlash and hostility. Priscilla speaks about her experiences with backlash and how we all can be resilient online (25:34). She goes on to discuss how she gains comfort and confidence from leaning on the words of our prophets and apostles (32:04)
