When you build your life around being seen, what happens when the spotlight fades? Hosts Dana and Stacy Gutierrez sit down with Lex Ledesma — entrepreneur, professor, and doctor of psychology — for an unfiltered conversation about ego, identity, and the illusion of connection in the digital age.

Together, they unpack:* The spiritual cost of fame and validation* Why social media is designed to hurt, not heal* How to set digital boundaries and protect your soul* The danger of self-harm as social contagion* Why your quiet time might save your mental health “If I am forgotten, my source is remembered.If I am remembered, my source is forgotten.” — Lex Ledesma This is one of the deepest Raw and Real episodes yet — confronting the unseen damage of the algorithm and reminding us to find meaning beyond the noise. 🎧 Full episode now streaming on major social media platforms
