From dopamine-driven notifications to the fear of missing out (FOMO), we explore how platforms are designed to keep us hooked—and what that means for our mental health, relationships, and sense of reality.
“It’s not just a habit—it’s a carefully crafted loop of attention, validation, and distraction,” the host explains.
Backed by research, real-life stories, and personal insights, this episode asks the big questions: Are we in control of our screens, or are they controlling us? And more importantly, how do we reclaim our time in a hyperconnected world?
If you’ve ever lost hours to mindless scrolling or felt anxious without your phone, this episode is your wake-up call.
