Lately, I’ve been reflecting a lot on how the digital world shapes our mental health—how social media can both connect and overwhelm us, and how taking a step back might be just what we need to find balance. In this episode, I’m opening up about my own experience with a 10-day social media detox during a time when everything felt loud and chaotic. It was a moment to breathe, to tune out the noise, and really check in with myself. I’m sharing the lessons I learned along the way—how being honest about what affects us and giving ourselves permission to unplug can be incredibly freeing. We’ll dive into the importance of carving out space for our own thoughts, the value of slowing down in a world that’s always rushing, and how real connections—away from screens—can help us process emotions in a more meaningful way. This episode is for anyone who’s feeling the weight of constant information overload, those looking for a healthier relationship with social media, or anyone needing a reminder that it’s okay to step away for a while. It’s about finding peace in the pause, embracing our feelings, and remembering that it’s okay to process things at our own pace. Let’s talk about how we can make space for ourselves, our mental health, and the relationships that really matter. Drop a comment, share your thoughts, and let’s have a real conversation about navigating the digital world with intention and care.   _________________________________     About Chrisette Michele: Chrisette Michele is a Grammy Award Winning Recording Artist, Newly Crowned Ted x Talk Speaker who has just launched her brand-new podcast “Come Back Sis”.
