In this episode of Angst, hosts Donnie and Stephanie dive into the impact of social media on mental health.
They engage in a candid discussion about the double-edged sword of social media—outlining its potential to either exacerbate anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues, or to foster community, support, and opportunities for learning and professional development.
Through personal anecdotes, they highlight the importance of intentional use, setting boundaries, and the real-life value of enhancing offline relationships to balance out the digital onslaught of today's connected world.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
