Why Social Media Triggers Your FOMO (...and what to do about it)

Ever wonder why social media posts about food, fashion, or travel get so much love, while the deep stuff barely gets a like? In this episode, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick get real about what’s actually behind our scrolling habits, how moving to Italy flipped their perspective, and why living in alignment with your values—not someone else’s Instagram highlight reel—is the real flex. They dig into the difference between “should” and “want,” how to turn envy into inspiration, and why it’s time to stop waiting for “someday” to start living.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Social media is a mirror: What grabs your attention online is usually a reflection of what you crave or suppress in real life. Instead of feeling “less than,” use it as feedback to uncover what you truly want.
2. Living in alignment beats living for the ‘gram: The most fulfilling choices come from knowing your own (and your family’s) values—not copying someone else’s journey or highlight reel.
3. Don’t wait for permission to live: Whether it’s moving to Italy or just making time for joy, stop playing the “I can’t because…” game. Anything is possible when you decide your desires are worth acting on.

 

 Quotes: 

• “You can sit there and say, good for them, I wish I could do that—and further that scarcity—or you can say, I’m going to make that happen because anything is possible.”

• “If you think you can or you think you can’t, either way, you’re right.”
