This Valentine’s Day, Fall Madly In Love With Yourself

February 12, 2010 by Amy Jussel 14 Comments

Feb. 14, 2020 An entire decade has passed since I wrote this and the 'self love' movement has blossomed, reminding all that social media showboating of relationships is not intimacy, and "love thyself" is a pathway to clear hearts and minds to manage all the media machinations.

January 21, 2010 by Amy Jussel 17 Comments

January 21, 2010 Last night I talked about body image to our local high school PTSO with Susan E. James, an LMFT eating disorders specialist and RD/MPH Cindy Stack-Keer from Kaiser Permanente all about how body image links a child’s emotional and physical health. The little Animoto video I created for the session gives you a snapshot of both the ‘problem and the solution’ … [Read more...]

Addiction Series Part 3: Media, Medicos, & Critical Thinking

January 15, 2010 by Amy Jussel 12 Comments

Jan. 15, 2009 Thought I’d wrap up Part Three in this series on digital addiction vs. agency (part one and part two here) with some humorous insights from the medical community that poke fun at some very REAL research dilemmas. Clearly there are quirky flaws in how the entire DSM process takes shape (DSM V= Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders aka the big … [Read more...]

Media Addiction vs. Agency: The Context of Control Part Two

January 13, 2010 by Amy Jussel 11 Comments

Jan. 13, 2010 My brother AND my mother sent me this little cartoon jab which left me snickering and simultaneously standing up to stretch. As evidenced in part one of addiction vs. agency in media management, I'm not the type to be consumed by disordered terminology, symptoms and panic statistics flinging about... If I were, I might have seen it as a dire familial sign or … [Read more...]

Media Management: Addiction vs. Agency Part One

January 11, 2010 by Amy Jussel 15 Comments

Jan. 11, 2010 I’m officially back from my one week blog hiatus, victorious in keeping my New Year resolution to ‘unplug’ more, manage my media rather than having it manage me, and slip away sans notification to prove that the world won’t fall apart and your readers won’t jump ship just because you go awol. Yep, it's my personal media management smackdown which surfaces on … [Read more...]
