Social media has become part of our daily lives but it’s also quietly changing us. The endless scroll, the outrage-driven posts, the comparison traps… all of it can keep us in survival mode: tense, reactive, judgmental, and even less empathetic. In this episode of Mid-Week Tease, Adelle unpacks what survival mode actually feels like, the racing heart, the late-night doom-scroll, the sense of always being “behind” and explains how algorithms profit from keeping us there. But it’s not all bad news. You’ll also learn practical ways to use social media without losing your humanity: from pausing before reacting to creating no-scroll zones and practicing digital sabbaths.If you’ve ever wondered why scrolling leaves you more drained than inspired, this episode is for you.
