Listen Later

Are you glued to your screen but feeling emptier with every scroll? Or maybe you’re loving the connections but drowning in comparison? This week, we’re diving deep into the double-edged world of social media and its impact on mental health.

Join us as we explore:

✅ The surprising positives of social media (yes, there are some!)

✅ The dark side of the scroll: anxiety, FOMO, and the comparison trap

✅ Practical tips to reclaim your time and sanity—without deleting every app

✅ A fresh Torah perspective on using social media mindfully

Whether you’re a casual scroller, a TikTok addict, or just trying to figure out how to balance your digital and real-world life, this episode is packed with relatable stories, expert insights, and strategies you can actually use.

Tune in, share with a friend, and let’s transform how we interact with the digital world—because social media doesn’t have to own us!
