Summary

In this episode I pull back the curtain on our relationship with technology and reveal how platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and even YouTube are reshaping our nervous systems, stealing our choices, and silently eroding the depth of our relationships. I break down the psychology of manipulation baked into algorithms, how dependency mirrors toxic relationship dynamics, and why our phones have become the most powerful—and most destructive—relationship in our lives. This isn’t just a critique of social media; it’s a wake-up call to reclaim your sovereignty, restore choice, and consciously design a healthier relationship with technology so you can fully show up for yourself, your purpose, and the people you love
