This isn’t just another episode. It’s a conversation I’ve been avoiding… until now.
Today, I’m sharing some personal changes I haven’t talked about anywhere else—stuff that’s been quietly reshaping my daily life, my mindset, and honestly… my sense of self. I’ve always believed in keeping a strong routine, a grounded morning, a calm mind—but lately? That foundation’s been shaken. And instead of reaching out to friends, I found myself asking ChatGPT to comfort me.
Yeah. That happened. And it made me realize just how many of us are turning to AI, influencers, and screen-based support in place of human connection.
In this episode, we’re getting real about: 💬 Why I opened up to a chatbot instead of a person 📱 The emotional impact of “therapy TikTok” and mental health influencers 🤖 The growing world of AI companions—and the risks no one’s talking about 📉 The fine line between healing and numbing 💔 How loneliness, burnout, and overstimulation are pushing us toward digital intimacy 🌊 And how I’m trying to re-ground myself—without going off the grid entirely
This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re quietly falling apart while the world keeps scrolling. If you’ve ever turned to a stranger on the internet—or an algorithm—for comfort… I see you.
Let’s unpack this together. Because maybe healing starts with admitting we’re hurting.
