Finding Peace In The Midst Of Media Overload

by | Oct 27, 2023 | Podcasts

The world feels scary, overwhelming, and uncertain as heck right now. The last few weeks have been a ringer. Many of us are feeling saturated by media overload. It’s wreaking havoc on our bodies and minds.

I’m here to share good news: You have the power to control how you feel on the inside, no matter what’s happening on the outside. 

In this episode, you’ll learn about the impact digital media is having on your mental and emotional health. I’ll share mind blowing, eye opening, holy shit level stats from Statista about how much time we’re engaging with digital and social media.

I’ll turn you onto some of the ways screen time is affecting your brain, by sharing nuggets of wisdom from Dr. Victoria Dunkley that were published in a SUNY Potsdam article.

And of course, I’ll introduce you to my analogy of “Cactus and Blanket” to help you understand the miraculous worker bee known as your nervous system. I will connect you with the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems so you can understand how these systems are controlling the way you think, feel, and experience your life and help you understand how mindfulness can improve your quality of life.

Tune in, subscribe, and share. ❤️
