Social media connects us—but at what cost? In this episode, we take a real look at how social media has become one of the biggest social experiments of our time. From curated timelines to highlight reels, it’s easy to get lost in comparison, chasing validation, or mistaking filtered moments for real life.
We’re diving into how social media, when misused, can shape false realities, distort self-worth, and influence how we see the world—and ourselves. But it’s not all bad. With the right perspective, social media can be a tool for connection, creativity, and community.
Let’s talk about balance, boundaries, and breaking free from the illusion. Because real life doesn’t need a filter.
