Social media isn’t neutral. It mirrors what you feed it. In this episode you’ll learn how to take control of your inputs, set realistic targets, and turn your feed into a tool for progress instead of a trigger.

What you’ll hear

• The algorithm shows you what you signal you want. Your clicks, watch time, and searches train it.
• Aspire, but respect capacity. Follow people one level ahead, not ten.
• Stop feeding outrage. Curate for health, learning, and action.
• How to run a 10-minute audit that changes what you see tomorrow morning.
• Simple rules that reduce doom scrolling and increase follow-through.

Tactics you can apply today

• Unfollow, mute, or “Not interested” on anything that drags mood or adds no value.
• Follow accounts aligned to your current goal: sleep, steps, protein, strength, mindset.
• Use in-app tools: time limits, keyword filters, “See fewer like this,” “Favorites.”
• Start sessions with a search that serves your goal to re-seed the feed.
• Review monthly. If it doesn’t help, it goes.

Key questions

• What exactly are you training your feed to deliver?
