Savage Self-Awareness: The Black Hole In Your Hand
Description
In this Savage Self-Awareness mini-episode, Anne exposes the savage truth about doom scrolling—the endless social media rabbit hole that leaves you anxious, overstimulated, and disconnected from your own life. Anne breaks down how mindless scrolling sabotages your sleep, drains your energy, and keeps you comparing your reality to someone else’s highlight reel. Anne shares practical tips like moving apps off your home screen, setting timers, and tracking daily screen time. If you’ve ever picked up your phone “for just a minute” and lost hours, this raw, honest episode is your wake-up call to stop numbing out and start reclaiming your time, attention, and mental health.
This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma. But just so we're super clear: I’m not a licensed therapist, mental health professional, or anything close. I’m just a human sharing stories, lessons, and life hacks based on personal experience and a whole lot of curiosity.
So, while you might find some golden nuggets here, this is not therapy and should never replace professional mental health care. If you or someone you love is going through it, please—seriously—reach out to a licensed therapist or healthcare provider. You deserve the real deal.
