Before we wrap up our spring cleaning series, we have an important request—go watch White Lotus and Severance so we can talk about them! After that, it's time to clean up our mental space. In this final installment, we talk about the impact of media consumption on our moods, relationships, and productivity. Social media can be an incredible tool, but when overused, it drains our mental capacity and balance. We'll discuss how to set boundaries, model healthy habits for those around us, and invest our energy in relationships that truly serve us. Join us as we explore ways to declutter our minds and make space for more meaningful connections in our lives!

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Introduce mindful consumption to your daily routine. Be intentional with what, when, and how you consume media—overloading on even "healthy" content can be just as harmful as doom-scrolling.

• Creating boundaries with friends, family, and work is important, but so are boundaries with yourself. Whether for personal well-being or business growth, setting limits on screen time and social media use can help protect your mental health.

• Let's put quality over quantity. Strong, supportive relationships matter more than having a large circle—invest in those who uplift and energize you.
