5 Social Media Accounts to Follow in 2021
Social media plays a huge role in most of our daily lives. We use it to keep up with our friends, family, and current events, but it has also become a powerful learning tool. If you log onto Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc, and find yourself unhappy or frustrated with what you see, it may be time for an overhaul. Too often we forget that we have the power to curate our social feeds. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up a handful of our favorite social media accounts! From fitness and nutrition to home organization, there is something for everyone who’s looking to better themselves this new year.

KC Davis is a licensed professional counsellor and mother of two. After giving birth right before the COVID-19 pandemic, KC was in a new city without access to a support network for months. She began to create a self-compassionate way to address her stress, depression, and seemingly never-ending house-work. She began sharing her approach to “care tasks” on TikTok and amassed hundreds of thousands of followers in just a few months.
A care task describes any task, chore, or errand that is required to care for self and keep life going. These tasks are typically recurring and seemingly never-ending. But what happens when you encounter barriers such as depression, anxiety, or trauma that make completing care tasks difficult? A person can experience intense shame, leaving them wondering “why am I failing at something so simple?”. They may also be less likely to reach out for help due to the fear of judgment or rejection. As the shame grows, mental health plummets, and a critical internal dialogue sets in, forming a vicious cycle that paralyzes the person even further.
Something you will hear often in KC’s videos is that “care tasks are morally neutral”. This meaning that being good or bad at them had nothing to do with being a good person, parent, spouse, friend. This is the first pillar in the 6 pillars of struggle care, which you can read more about at strugglecare.com. The website has tons of resources including book recommendations, a playlist to listen to whilst doing care tasks, and even easy recipes for when cooking feels like a daunting task.
KC’s videos feel like a warm hug every time they come across your feed. In this particularly stressful year, her videos are exactly what we all need.
