April 29, 2024 TTPD is My Deconstruction Album, I'm Drinking More Right Now?? And Tiktok Got Banned
Entry #47 - in which I fail to make a more upbeat, less depressing episode of this show lmao. Y'all, I KNOW some of you have been listening to TTPD and reliving religious trauma, so in this episode, I walk through a few of the most significant songs and lyrics to me. Also - I find I'm drinking a bit more than usual lately, which makes me want to re-evaluate again, and I'm also not sure if my drinking habits will change after I move? Finally, I share a few thoughts about the Tiktok news - what do YOU think is going to happen?

April 15, 2024Am I Addicted to Social Media? My Story and Tips for Mindful Engagement
Entry #45. I know this might sound contradictory coming from an influencer and content creator, but I feel that social media addiction is a concerning problem in our current culture, and I believe strongly in learning how to practice healthy habits and mindful moderation when it comes to social media consumption. I've had an off and on struggle with social media addiction, and today I'm sharing my story and helpful (scary?) information I've found in various studies and articles online that pertain to how excessive social media consumption affects all of us.
Also, why did no one tell me about Timothee Chalamet? And tell me I'm not the only one who pre-grieves, please.

JOURNAL PROMPTS
from addictioncenter:
Do you spend a lot of time thinking about social media or planning to use social media?

Do you feel urges to use social media more and more?

Do you use social media to forget about personal problems?

Do you often try to reduce use of social media without success?

Do you become restless or troubled if unable to use social media?

Do you use social media so much that it has had a negative impact on your job or studies?
