I used to think social media was just “networking” — Twitter, LinkedIn, Bumble — all ways to connect, build opportunities, maybe even meet someone new. And sure, they worked… I booked podcast guests, grew my network, even got my agency off the ground through them. But here’s the truth: they also hijacked my attention, stole time from my kids, and gave me anxiety I didn’t even know I had.

In this episode, I break down how I realized I was addicted to the dopamine loops of these apps, why I quit, and the practical steps I took to reclaim my focus, my peace, and my real-life connections.

If you’ve ever found yourself checking your phone 20 times an hour, refreshing for likes or swipes, this one’s for you.
