Welcome Back! In this episode, we explore how social media reshapes attention, belonging, identity, and community. Drawing from psychology, moral psychology, current research, personal experience, and books like The Social Media Shift and The Anxious Generation, she examines why these platforms are so difficult to put down, how online communities can shape what we believe, and why visibility isn't always the same thing as intimacy.

Topics include:

• The science behind the scroll and the attention economy
• Why belonging often comes before belief
• Social media, tribalism, and online communities
• Loneliness in an age of constant connection
• Generation Alpha, phone-based childhoods, and kid influencers
• Reclaiming attention in a world designed to capture it
