Today we welcome Larissa (“Larz”) May to the podcast. Larz is the founder of #HalfTheStory, which began as a grassroots movement and led to a larger initiative and speaking opportunities about emotional well-being and the importance of self-care in an age of social media and an obsession with posting on platforms like Instagram and Tik Tok. Larz was named a “digital wellness activist” by major news outlets like Time, Forbes, Refinery29, Good Morning America, and NBC. Her community-building initiatives led to the world-renowned “Global Day of Unplugging,” an annual event held on August 6. Larz discusses own her mental health journey with our host and how it was the brainchild of #HalfTheStory. She talks about the thrills, the highs, and the lows of social media, and how all of it can feel just like jonesing for psychedelics and coming down from a beautiful place only to realize one's dependence on the vapidness and superficiality that a false sense of security that Instagram “likes” creates. #HalfTheStory is now a more significant movement devoted to people sharing their stories, helping them unplug, and acknowledging that there's more to life than social media acceptance and addiction. And that they can employ social media in productive rather than wasteful ways. Tune in to find out more about what that means! 

This week, Ally is bringing back one of her favorite episodes you do not want to miss out.

On TMST we've been open about our conflicted relationship with technology and social media. And you've heard many of our guests recount their mixed feelings, as well.Today's guest takes all of that and turns it up to 11.In 2018, Larissa May (who goes by Larz) spoke out about her struggle with depression on social media. The post and hashtag that emerged around it was called #HalfTheStory - and it sparked a global conversation about the relationship between technology and emotional wellbeing. Having just turned 28, Larz holds a unique place in our culture. She's a part of society that has had their adulthood defined by social media AND, she's also just about as old as you can be and still be able to talk to Gen Z as something like a peer. She's doing that through workshops, and creating screenless experiences, and nature immersions. Today, Larissa is asking us to consider what we get out of being the guinea pigs in Mark Zuckerberg's experiments in the metaverse. Or getting us to become aware of how prevalent the drug trade is on the social platforms - and how they're not doing a whole lot to crack down. She's is exactly the kind of person who we love to welcome to Tell Me Something True and we're excited for you to meet her today.Larissa's site:  https://www.livinlikelarz.com/Larissa's IG: https://www.instagram.com/livinlikelarz/#HalfThe Story: https://www.instagram.com/halfthestory/If you care about these kinds of conversations, we hope you'll become a TMST Plus member.  Episode link: https://www.tmstpod.com/episodes/63-larissa-may-and-our-journey-to-digital-wellnessSpotify playlist for this episode: Here's the transcript: Tell Me Something True is a 100% independent podcast.

Larz May is the founder of an incredible mental health nonprofit called #HalfTheStory. The nonprofit's mission is to empower the next generation's relationship with social media through advocacy, education, and providing access to resources. What I love about Larz is her ability to cut through social media's rapidly evolving landscape and point to deeper truths, in a very timely manner.I look to Larz as a leader in digital wellbeing and think you should too. She founded the Global Day of Unplugging, an internationally recognized day every August that encourages divesting from technology to plug back into life. In this conversation, we talk about what it means to approach daily life with honesty, forge that path for others, and so much more.

The average teen spends 7 hours a day online. That's ⅓ of their life. #HalfTheStory began when founder, Larissa May (@livinlikelarz), was juggling two lives as a student at Vanderbilt University and a fashion blogger/entrepreneur, covering NYFW for highly respected media outlets. Behind the perfectly curated instagram feed was 17 hour workdays, debilitating anxiety, and sleep deprivation. Through industry conversations and discussions with peers she quickly realized that she was living in a world where everyone was craving a platform to share, which led to the beginning of @halfthestory. It started as a desire to highlight our most human attributes on social media to reignite human connection in the digital space. So what began as a $800 grant for a senior art project has since become a globally recognized platform connecting people of all walks of life through sharing experiences, struggles, entrepreneurial journeys, and aspirations.

Is Instagram really the worst platform when it comes to our mental health? Is screen time at an all time high? This episode is our first in a series of conversations focusing on mental health and today we’re addressing a topic that’s on everyone’s minds right now: social media. I personally hope to learn more about how social media impacts our overall well being and who better to have a conversation with about these topics than Chaz Smith and Jamie Zhu, who themselves have had two very different journeys with mental health. It just so happens that both of them are comedians and content creators, and that’s not the only thing they have in common. Later in the show, you’ll hear subject matter expert Larissa May fill us in on why Instagram is potentially removing likes and how this change could have an effect on our mental health. Get connected with our guests from today’s episode to continue the conversation: Chaz Smith is a comedian, content creator, aficionado of pronouncing things incorrectly, and the host of his brand new talk show, The Simply Put Show! Follow Chaz on Instagram @chazsmith and check out his talk show, @simplyputshow. Jamie Zhu is a social media entertainer from Sydney, Australia, who believes in creating authentic content that portrays his real self, to inspire others to achieve their own goals and dreams.
