Rethinking Our Relationship with Social Media

Why do we keep reaching for our phones, even when we know too much scrolling isn't good for us? In Part 1 of this two-part series, Lisa unpacks our relationship with social media and shares a healthier way to approach it.

Key moments from this episode:

• The brain science that explains why social media feels addictive

• A four-part framework to define your relationship with each platform

• How to spot pitfalls like comparison, FOMO, and the “superhero facade”
• Mindset shifts that move you from validation-seeking to abundance

This series is not about quitting social media. It’s about choosing how you engage with it so it builds confidence instead of draining it.
