Description

In this Season 3 finale episode, Megan Leigh shares how social media became a coping mechanism during lonely seasons—and why it left her feeling more disconnected. From brainwave shifts to Gen Alpha’s screen dependency, she unpacks the emotional and neurological costs of our digital lives and offers practical ways to reclaim real connection.

In this episode:

  • Social media as a false source of connection

  • The brain on infinite scroll

  • Gen Alpha, kid influencers, and growing up online

  • How to set boundaries and take your attention back

Takeaway:
You don’t have to quit social media—just stop letting it run the show.
