Struggling to find the sweet spot between your screen time and peace of mind? You're not alone. Join me, Shannon Martin, on a journey of self-discovery and digital detox as we tackle the challenging equilibrium in 'This Thing Called Wellness.' We've all been there—scrolling through perfect profiles and feeling anything but. In this episode, we're peeling back the curtain on social media's smoke and mirrors to reveal the impact on our mental health. I'll share the personal mantras and mindfulness exercises that helped me become my own ally in the noisy online world, and we'll discuss how to harness technology for growth without letting it stunt our happiness.

From recognizing the tell-tale signs of tech-induced stress to setting boundaries that stick, we're mapping out the route to a healthier, more authentic you. Hear the strategies that have worked for me (and might just work for you too) in navigating the digital landscape with your well-being intact. And don't forget, while I'm passionate about sharing these insights, I'm not a licensed mental health professional—just a fellow traveler on the path to wellness. Tune in, find your balance, and let's grow our community together. Next time, we'll explore the fascinating intertwining of the mind and body, so make sure to join us for another enlightening discussion.
