Maya & Shreya's Journey: Navigating Social Media as Gen Z

Hi, I'm Krutika and this is my podcast Journeys with Krutika. Today’s conversation is with my brilliant nieces, Maya and Shreya - two Gen Z sisters who’ve grown up in a world where social media is as natural as breathing.

Did you know that over 60% of the world’s population - that’s a staggering 5 billion people - use social media? On average, we spend over two hours a day scrolling, posting, and engaging. And Gen Z? They’re among the most active users of all.

In this conversation, we dive deep into Maya and Shreya's journey with social media, the good, the bad, and, well, the sometimes ugly that comes with using these applications. From its impact on confidence and self-worth to the ways it shapes their daily lives, they share their unfiltered insights on what it’s really like to grow up in a hyper-connected world.

Their perspectives are both fascinating and eye-opening. This one's a must-listen for anyone who uses social media.
