Love it or hate it, social media is here to stay, at least for now. In this episode, I get real about the ways our online habits can turn into self-harm, from doom scrolling to comparison, and how I’ve been reframing my own mindset around it. We’ll talk about building better “social media hygiene,” setting boundaries, and most importantly, how to consume social media without being consumed by it.
Single and happy people are often the most overlooked demographic in society. Why? Because they don’t fit into the narratives that fuel social expectations or the agendas of consumer-driven systems. Their contentment poses a subtle challenge to the status quo.
They walk among us every day, yet books, movies, and songs rarely celebrate their lives. Achieving this state of fulfillment mentally, physically, and spiritually requires conscious effort, intention, and self-awareness.
In this podcast, we explore what it truly means to embrace singlehood with grace, confidence, and joy. Our goal is to shift your perspective, open your mind, and inspire you to navigate this space not as a void, but as a vibrant, empowering chapter of life.
