LinkedIn is often seen as a positive and professional social media platform, but is it really? In this episode, I explore how LinkedIn's toxic positivity and hustle culture can create unrealistic work expectations and harm our mental health. I discuss how LinkedIn users tend to exaggerate their achievements, hide their struggles, and compare themselves to others who seem to have it all. I also examine how LinkedIn can encourage unhealthy behaviours such as overworking, neglecting wellness, and chasing status. Finally, I share some tips on how to use LinkedIn more mindfully and authentically, without falling prey to its pitfalls. --- This episode is brought to you by O C Tanner.

The Adrian Tan Show
This is my podcast, where I speak with folks to explore the nuances of modern work and its idiosyncrasies.

They have successfully transitioned to their new careers, and I hope to distil their ups and downs in this unstructured journey so the rest of us can learn from their best practices.
