In this episode of Observation Station, we’re taking a hard look at the habit most of us can’t seem to shake: doomscrolling. Ever opened your phone for a “quick check” and found yourself deep into disaster headlines, hours later, feeling more stressed than before? We’ll break down what doomscrolling does to our brains, why it’s so hard to stop, and how social media platforms keep us hooked with that endless scroll. With a mix of humor and some eye-opening facts, we’ll share tips to help you take control of your screen time and find a healthier balance. Tune in for a fresh perspective on our love-hate relationship with our phones—and get ready to laugh while you learn how to step away from the doom!
And don’t miss next episode’s dream topic: winning the lottery!
