Podcasts about doomscrolling

Getting a first smartphone has become a modern rite of passage for many children and teens. And with the rise of social media and the constant need to stay connected, today's kids are spending more time online than any other generation.  But parents are often just as glued to screens as their children, and many are concerned that their own tech habits are straining family relationships and affecting their mental health. In fact, a 2024 report from the U.S. surgeon general found that 48% of parents say their stress is completely overwhelming on most days. In this episode of "After the Fact," Pew expert Jessica Roark discusses why screens and social media can have a negative impact on mental health. And Andrea Davis, founder and CEO of Better Screen Time, shares strategies to help families build and maintain healthy tech habits.

Your Faith Is Weak Because Your Focus Is WeakYou don't have an attention span problem. You have a formation problem.In this episode, we're talking about why your constant distraction isn't just “bad habits” — it's shaping your soul. If you're always scrolling, always stimulated, always consuming… you shouldn't be surprised that prayer feels boring, Scripture feels dry, and silence feels impossible.Doomscrolling isn't neutral. It's discipling you.What you give your attention to is forming your desires, your hunger, your patience, and your intimacy with God. If your focus is weak, your faith will feel weak. If your mind is constantly fragmented, your spiritual life will feel fragmented too.We'll break down:Why distraction is a spiritual issue, not just a productivity issueHow overstimulation is shrinking your spiritual depthThe connection between dopamine, discipline, and devotionWhy you feel distant from God (and what to do about it)Practical ways to retrain your attention and rebuild spiritual focustags:doomscrolling, doomscrolling is discipling you, attention span crisis, short attention span, digital distraction, social media addiction, phone addiction, dopamine addiction, overstimulation, brain fried, chronically online, constant stimulation, overconsumption, digital burnout, how to focus, how to stop doomscrolling, why i can't focus, productivity and faith, christian growth, spiritual discipline, spiritual formation, christian motivation, christian podcast, faith and focus, prayer life struggles, why i feel distant from God, spiritual apathy, lukewarm christian, distraction is spiritual warfare, modern idolatry, digital idolatry, idol of distraction, christian self discipline, gen z christian, christian commentary, christian wake up call, stop scrolling start praying, attention is worship, what you focus on forms you, your faith is weak because your focus is weak

What if thinking about death earlier didn't make you fearful—but made you freer? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, executive coach Seth Clark explores how mortality awareness can bring more clarity, courage, and alignment into everyday decisions. This episode is for leaders, builders, and anyone feeling stuck in busy, reactive living. Seth unpacks why avoidance gives death more power, how modern culture keeps us distracted, and how “mini-deaths” like role changes can reshape priorities—so you lead with a longer-term view, not just the next quarter. About the Guest: Seth Clark is an executive coach, ordained Christian minister, and doctoral scholar studying meaning-making in the face of mortality. His work helps people use mortality awareness to live and lead with deeper purpose. Episode Chapter: 00:04:56 – Setting the topic: mortality awareness and purpose 00:07:33 – Why “befriending death” can bring more life 00:09:29 – The first time Seth witnessed someone die 00:10:34 – Avoidance gives death authority over us 00:12:41 – The “relationship” analogy: facing what's real 00:15:08 – Doomscrolling, validation, and staying numb 00:17:23 – Leadership timelines, mini-deaths, and long-term thinking Key Takeaways: Notice what you avoid—avoidance quietly runs your choices from the background. Treat death-awareness as a clarity tool, not something to obsess over. Interrupt doomscrolling when it fuels emotion but doesn't move you toward action. Ask: “What matters beyond this quarter/year?” to reset leadership priorities. Prepare for “mini-deaths” (role changes, endings) with intentional transitions. In grief, don't force mortality awareness—first allow the loss to be held with compassion.

The Invisible Taxes That Are Quietly Stealing Your Wealth Most people think taxes are the biggest drain on their money. The truth is the silent taxes hurt far more. In this episode, I break down the hidden wealth killers that no one talks about. Idle cash sitting in the wrong accounts. Missed automation. Delayed investing. Financial arrogance. Overwhelm. Doomscrolling. Fear of asking for help. These are not one time mistakes. They are repeated small leaks that compound against you over time. We walk through real examples of how these invisible taxes show up and exactly how to eliminate them with simple structure and awareness. The danger is not one bad decision. The danger is repeating it quietly for years. Once you see it, you cannot ignore it. Episode Timeline and Highlights 00:00 The tax no one sees 01:30 Idle account tax 04:00 Automation lag 06:00 Ego and blind spots 08:00 Awareness gaps 10:00 Distraction cost 12:00 Isolation and fear 14:00 Compound damage 16:00 The choice you now have Key Takeaways • Idle money is lost opportunity • Delays kill compounding • Ego blocks optimization • Awareness creates leverage • Repeated small leaks create massive long term damage Quotables "The government is not your biggest tax. Your habits are." "Every month without a system is an invisible bill." "Small leaks compound into massive losses." Now you have awareness. You cannot unhear it. Fix the system or keep paying the price.

Send a textCommunity shock happens when a public tragedy or disaster disrupts a community's sense of safety and predictability, creating a ripple of nervous-system activation far beyond those directly involved. This episode is the Trauma Types companion to S16E161, where we explored collective grief and trauma after sudden tragedy. Here, we zoom in on community shock as a trauma pathway: why people cycle through hypervigilance, numbness, anger, and exhaustion; how media exposure can keep the nervous system activated; and why meaning-making can turn into blame, rumour cycles, or polarisation. We end with a short grounding practice designed to reduce helplessness by focusing on a “circle of control.”In this episode, you'll learnWhat community shock is and how it spreads through proximity, identification, and exposureHow this episode connects to S16E161 (collective grief + trauma after sudden tragedy)Polyvagal-informed patterns: mobilised protection, shutdown, and cyclingRipple effects across groups: directly affected, witnesses, helpers, and the wider communityWhy meaning-making can intensify blame, rumours, and polarisationWhat helps: media dosing, routine, choice-based community support, body-first regulationA grounding practice to restore a sense of control and supportGrounding practice (2–3 minutes): “Circle of Control”Draw a small circle on your palmName 3 things you can control right nowName 2 supports you can lean onPhrase: “I can't control everything.

In this episode of Misperceived, Leah gets honest about her late-night doomscrolling habit and why “just checking your phone” leaves so many women wired, anxious, and exhausted the next day. Drawing from her research and her upcoming book Drained: Reduce Your Mental Load to Do Less and Be More, she explains how constant exposure to heavy news and social media pings our mental load to care, to keep our families safe, and to emotionally support others—draining the limited energy we need for work, parenting, and showing up in the world with any sense of power or hope. You'll learn how to see doomscrolling as a mental load leak instead of a moral obligation, what to do in those 2 a.m. wakeups instead, and how to realign your time, feeds, and attention so you can actually rest and still have capacity to take meaningful action on the things you care about.Follow Leah: @prof.leahruppanner Hosted on Acast.

Nochmal nach Karneval das Fitnessprogramm aufleben lassen. Nach dem ganzen Frohsinn und vor allem Berliner, Krapfen und Bier … nochmal die guten Vorsätze aufleben lassen vom Beginn des Jahres. So geht moderne Fastenzeit, oder?  Fasten auf Stress, Fasten auf Zeitverschwendung und Doomscrolling und Fasten auf schlechte und schwere Gedanken. So geht auch modernes Fasten, oder? Aber da fastet doch keiner mehr richtig!  Na und? Fastenzeit bedeutet für mich: Ich mach mein Kopf frei. Wie Festplatte formatieren. Ich werde leerer, egal ob im Magen oder im Kopf, damit wieder Platz ist für das Wesentlichen. Für das, was mir wichtig ist. Wirklich wichtig.  Ich glaub, wenn der Magen leerer wird, der Konsum weniger, der Kopf befreiter, dann ist nicht nur mehr Platz, sondern mein Herz auch etwas leichter.  Der DOMRADIO-Morgenimpuls: Montag bis Freitag erzählt die Olper Franziskanerin Schwester Katharina von ihren Gedanken zu Gott und der Welt.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good buddy Vince Maltz, a high-performance mindset coach who works with NHL players, Division I athletes, and elite performers. We dig into what “mindset training” actually looks like in real life, beyond the clichés, and why it's inseparable from physiology, recovery, and nervous system regulation. We also get into the modern performance environment: fake expertise, too many voices in the kitchen, and why big organizations adapt slowly. Vince breaks down centralized vs. decentralized leadership, how athletes can learn to think for themselves inside a system, and why being a “nerd” at your sport is becoming a competitive advantage.  From there, we hit practical tools: how athletes move from conscious competence to unconscious competence faster, why distributed cognition matters in team sports, and what individuals can do today to improve performance through breathing, cold exposure, communication, and environment.

In this episode, Saranne delves into the harmful phenomenon of 'doom scrolling' - the compulsive act of consuming a steady stream of negative news. This tendency, she highlights, can amplify anxiety and even spur symptoms akin to post-traumatic stress disorder.

Bei was fällt es dir schwer, dich zu beherrschen? Schokolade? Shopping? Doomscrolling? Fragst du dich manchmal, warum Selbstbeherrschung an manchen Tagen klappt und an anderen gar nicht? In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, was Selbstbeherrschung bedeutet und was sie mit Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung zu tun hat. Wie du deinen Impulsen widerstehst, ohne deine Gefühle zu unterdrücken. Du erfährst ⭐️was Belohnungsaufschub mit deinem Alltag macht ⭐️was dir Impulskontrolle bringt und ⭐️wie gewaltfreie Kommunikation dich dabei unterstützt

Most people think screen time is a harmless habit. But what if it's quietly training your brain against healing?In this conversation, Christen Routh explains why doomscrolling feels like relief but often leaves you more anxious, more numb, and more alone. We talk about the real danger of screens, not just what they show you, but what they replace: real friendship, real presence, real growth. And we get practical about what to do instead, without going off-grid.In this episode, we cover:Why screen overuse can mimic an addiction cycle and keep you stuck in escape modeHow doomscrolling can increase loneliness through comparison and emotional crashHow algorithms quietly shape your standards for love, friendship, and boundariesHow to build a tech plan that makes your phone a tool again, not your masterAccess the Family Digital Wellness ActivityContact ChristenGet Dakota's FREE Guide, The Biggest Fitness Mistakes to AvoidWatch the Documentary: KennyWatch the Trailer: Kenny (3:31 min)Shownotes

We can't avoid the AI conversation, and honestly, pretending it's not happening is the worst possible strategy. So instead of speculating or panicking, I want to have a really open, frank chat about what it's doing to our brains, and how we can control it.So I started looking for an expert who was actually thinking seriously about this space, not in a hypey way or a doom way, but in a thoughtful, academic way. Then I came across one of Shae O Ominijo's videos, and immediately knew she was exactly the person to have this conversation with.If you want to actually learn about AI without fear mongering, how it's fuelling anti intellectualism, and what we can all individually do about it to use it in a more thoughtful way, stick with me, because Shae is doing a Harvard PHD on exactly that! I hope you love this conversation as much as I did. +SHAE OMONIJOIG: https://www.instagram.com/iamshaeo/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamshaeoSubstack: https://shaeomonijo.substack.com/ +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpo...+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

Most dentists treat sleep as optional until performance drops, patience gets shorter, and focus slips. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with Dr. Uche Odiatu, health and fitness educator for dentistry, about sleep hygiene fundamentals that improve energy, cognition, metabolic health, and daily productivity. You will learn why seven hours is the minimum, why “sleep debt” can't be repaid on weekends, and the practical habits that make sleep deeper and more consistent. Listen to Episode 1005 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysSeven hours is the minimum sleep needed for most adults to avoid ongoing sleep deprivation.“Catching up” on sleep over the weekend does not fully reverse the effects of several nights of poor sleep.Morning outdoor light exposure helps reset circadian rhythm and supports falling asleep more easily at night.Daily physical activity builds physiological sleep drive beyond mental fatigue from a long clinical day.Alcohol can make you feel sedated but reduces deep sleep quality and interferes with memory consolidation and emotional regulation.Eating within three hours of bedtime can reduce sleep quality because the body is focused on digestion.Evening light control, including avoiding bright overhead LED lighting and late-night scrolling, supports melatonin and sleep depth.Snippets01:56 Seven hours as the minimum, and how being awake too long affects performance.03:44 Why “sleep debt” can't be repaid on weekends.06:23 Morning sunlight and outdoor exposure to reset circadian rhythm.09:35 Why sedentary days reduce true sleep drive, even when you feel mentally exhausted.11:28 Alcohol as sedation vs. sleep, and what it does to deep sleep and retention.17:35 Eating close to bedtime and the impact on sleep quality.18:45 Managing evening light by avoiding overhead LEDs after sunset.20:35 Doomscrolling, dopamine hits, and how small amounts of light disrupt physiology.24:10 “Become a sleep master” before chasing other wellness tools.Guest Bio/Guest ResourcesDr. Uche Odiatu has a DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine).

How Babylon Uses Entertainment and Consumerism to Control the Church | KIB 516 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (Episode 516), Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake deliver a sobering warning: Mystery Babylon doesn't just attack the Church—she seduces it. From "data-mined prophecy" and counterfeit spiritual authority to the modern mega-church model that mimics Rome's bread-and-circuses, this episode exposes how entertainment and consumerism anesthetize discernment, replace repentance with spectacle, and retrain believers to ask "What do I want?" instead of "What does God require?" You'll hear why Babylon's most effective control isn't always political force—but dopamine-driven distraction: screens, constant stimulation, comfort, and a culture that rebrands evil while keeping God's people spiritually sleepy. The call is urgent: wake up, return to biblical depth, restore authentic worship, and come out of Babylon.

In this episode, John and Matt explore why public statements often soothe anxiety more than they create transformation, and why the Christian response to a broken world may be less about declarations and more about formation, lament, and embodied faith. Drawing from Scripture, systems theory, baptismal vows, and real stories from the life of the church, they ask a deeper question: What if the statement isn't something we release but something we live?This conversation covers:Why cause and effect are rarely immediate or simpleThe difference between declarative statements and communal discernmentBaptismal vows as the church's enduring public witnessThe biblical language of lament and why we've lost itHow outrage and doomscrolling shape our soulsWhat it looks like to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in real, tangible waysRather than forming communities of loathing, we're invited back to the radical, costly love of Jesus - a love that resists cheap answers, refuses performative faith, and chooses faithful presence over instant reactions.

Welcome to PGX: Raw & RealPGX: Raw & Real is simple.

Sie werden Screen-Teens genannt – von einer digitalen Pubertät ist die Rede. Das Smartphone ist heute fester Lebensbestandteil nahezu aller Kinder und Jugendlicher. Mehr noch: Ein nicht unbeträchtlicher Teil ihres Lebens spielt sich im virtuellen Raum ab. Nichts ist daher gefürchteter als die Strafe aller Strafen: das Handyverbot. Die Sorgen von Eltern, Wissenschaftler*innen und pädagogischen Fachkräften sind entsprechend groß, dass das Smartphone allzu übermächtig ist und sich negativ auf die Entwicklung unserer Kinder auswirkt. Teils sind diese Sorgen auch berechtigt. Doomscrolling, Cybermobbing und Sexting sind längst ebenso fester Bestandteil des Alltags. Aber kann ein Smartphone-Verbot per Gesetz für bestimmte Altersgruppen – so wie es gerade erst in Australien umgesetzt wurde – wirklich die Lösung sein? „Nein!“, sagt die Wissenschaftlerin, Medien- und Sexualpädagogin Madita Oeming. Heute diskutiert sie mit uns zum Thema und spricht darüber, was Eltern wirklich benötigen, um ihre Kinder durch diese vulnerable Lebensphase zu begleiten. Ganz klar: Diese Episode ist eine Pflichtausgabe für alle Eltern, enthält aber auch viele wertvolle Erkenntnisse rund um den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs zum Umgang mit dem Thema Sexualität. Also hört alle rein!

Die Regierung will soziale Medien von Jüngeren fernhalten. Wie das funktionieren soll, ist völlig unklar, erklärt „Presse“-Tech-Expertin Barbara Steinbrenner. Das Vorbild Australien birgt Gefahren. Und: Junge Menschen erzählen im Podcast, was die Eltern-Generation in der Debatte stets außer Acht lässt.

Host Rosa Coelho opens the episode with a personal story about family and loss, then shares the single biggest change that improved her health: stopping doomscrolling in bed. She explains how the habit harmed her sleep, mood, memory and appearance. Rosa outlines three practical steps that finally broke the cycle: keep your phone in the ensuite, never let your phone touch the bed or nightstand, and use an old phone stripped of apps as a dedicated alarm. She also adds sleep-boosting tips—consistent bedtime, reading physical books, and tracking sleep with a wearable—and invites listeners to join her Simply Strong program.   Connect with Rosa on instagram @rocofit  or email info@rocofit.com

You want change more than anything, yet somehow you keep finding yourself back in the same frustrating patterns... and this episode explains why.  If you have ever wondered why motivation fades, follow-through slips, and 2026 feels like it has to be different, this conversation is for you. We break down the hidden loop so many women live in: setting goals with hope, only to fall back into old habits and self-doubt.  You will learn why this is not a discipline problem or a personal failure, but a very human pattern rooted in both nervous system protection and brain wiring. We explore the ancient concept of akrasia, the science of time inconsistency, and why resistance often shows up strongest when you want change the most.  You will see how past experiences, especially control or criticism, can quietly fuel self-sabotage today. This episode walks you through clear signs you may be stuck in this cycle and why nothing is “wrong” with you. More importantly, we outline a new way forward that does not rely on willpower, pressure, or punishment.  You will learn how to shift from control-based change to self-leadership rooted in care and alignment. We cover practical tools like reducing friction, designing your environment, and using implementation intentions so action becomes easier. This is about moving from self-sabotage into enkrateia — calm, grounded power over yourself.  If you are ready for 2026 to be the year things finally stick, this episode is your turning point. Time Stamps: (2:00) Jumping Into 2026 With This Topic (4:17) Omar and Doomscrolling (7:37) Competing Motivations and Resistance (10:33) How To Break The Cycle (11:32) Notice The Awareness (13:04) Acknowledge The Consequences (17:02) Shifting From Control To Love (20:16) Setting Our Environment Up For Success (22:03) Reducing Friction (24:22) Implementation Intentions (28:02) Power Over Yourself Through Leadership---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

We're talking about conspiracy theory fatigue — the way everything online lately feels so dramatic, divided, and honestly… draining. We're not saying you can't question things , but we're asking: at what point does it just become gossip, slander, or lowkey obsession? We touch on cancel culture, online accusations, Christian discernment vs. actual truth, and how we all need to be a little more humble when we “don't really know.” Kaleb even brings up the whole Beyonce conspiracy (lol wait 'til you hear that one).
