We explore how social media platforms influence mental health, contributing to increased anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. Our discussion highlights how social media can shape personal identity and relationships, often leading to unrealistic comparisons and pressures. We delve into the dual nature of social media’s impact on community dynamics, recognizing its capacity to both foster connections and create divisions.

Our expert guests provide valuable insights into how algorithms play a pivotal role in shaping perceptions and interactions, influencing how we engage with content and with each other. We also share practical strategies for developing a healthier relationship with social media, helping listeners mitigate its potential negative effects and cultivate mindfulness in their digital experiences.
