Social media isn’t just a habit—it’s a full-blown addiction. It hijacks your brain, steals your time, and rewires the way you think, work, and interact with the world. And the worst part? It’s happening to millions of people without them even realizing it.
In this episode, we break down five shocking statistics that expose the true cost of social media addiction—not just on your mental health, but on your productivity, relationships, and even your safety.
- How much time are you really losing to scrolling?
- What is social media doing to your brain—especially if you started young?
- Why is it more addictive than alcohol and cigarettes?
- What can you do to take back control?
Most people won’t make it to the end of this episode. Not because they don’t have time—but because their attention span has already been hijacked.
Tune in, for help tuning out, social media.
