Description

Is the algorithm pulling you into a spiral of anger and reactivity while you scroll? In this episode, Shola is sharing three specific ways that social media is likely sabotaging your capacity for kindness, and what we can do to limit the doom scrolling and take a more intentional approach to our social media consumption.

 

Shola covers three Kindness Strategies to change your relationship to social media:

  • The 5-4-3-2-1 Reset
  • The Celebration Practice 
  • The Bridge Builder Challenge

 

This episode isn't a call to quit social media altogether or shame yourself for being online. Instead, it's about learning how to fight back against a system built to dehumanize and disconnect. Tune in to learn how!
