Social media consumes so much time for so many of us. There are many benefits to social media but there are also many drawbacks, especially when it begins to affect family, our time management, and our mental health. Rachael Kincaid is joining me today to talk about how she decided it was time for her to leave social media after being active on it, and building a fairly large following, for nearly 20 years. 
Born and raised in the Carolinas, Alaska is now Rachael Kincaid’s home. She is a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner with fifteen years of healthcare experience, both at the bedside and in leadership. She currently works as Chief Nursing Officer at a critical access hospital. It is her honor to support and shift nursing practice toward a healthier and more sustainable future.
In addition to evidence-based and holistic healthcare, she’s into marriage and motherhood, the practice of gratitude, the outdoors, skincare, slow fashion, books, politics, pro basketball, and houseplants.
