Is the “like” button rewiring our brains? In this episode, we talk with someone who’s been immersed in social media for years. They share what it’s like to chase notifications, compare themselves to others, and try to find balance in a digital world. We connect their story to studies about dopamine, reward systems, and how social validation affects self-image. Social media can be both addictive and empowering — the key is recognizing which side we’re feeding.
