If we don't have real relationships where our identity is enhanced through the relationship, then we won't discover purpose. Don't be afraid of the dark, be careful with stars. Not every light is gonna guide you, baby.
Not every light is gonna guide you. So Dr. Kathy, today on the Celebrate Kids podcast and the Daily Segment Face in the Dark, I want to look at something that's new coming down from the high place of social media. I think that there's some new things that are coming out from Meta.
