Podcasts about doomscrolling

In this episode, you'll learn: Why “you're not that good” might be the most freeing thing you'll hear all year How to stop performing connection and actually feel it What your nervous system, your kids, and your future self really need from you You ever feel like connection shouldn't be this hard? We're wired for it. Built to bond. Yet somehow, we live in a world where loneliness feels like a personal failure—like if you're not constantly fulfilled by your partner, your kids, your group chat, your job, something must be wrong with you. We love to look back and pretend we had it better before. When moms baked sourdough and kids played outside and families sat down for dinner without a single screen in sight. But ask your parents if they ever felt truly seen. Ask your grandparents if they ever really knew their own parents. The truth is, disconnection isn't new. We've just gotten better at distracting ourselves from it. Now we're not only lonely—we feel broken for being lonely. Like we're doing life wrong. Like we just need to try harder, be more intentional, fix ourselves. But what if the answer isn't in trying harder? What if the truth is… you're just not that good? Not in a shameful way. In a liberating way. You're not supposed to be perfect. You're not supposed to hold it all together, all the time, with no village and no margin for error. And the sooner you admit that, the sooner you get to breathe again. And by the way—that line? You're not that good? That's from today's guest, Dr. Jody Carrington. And when she said it, it hit like a truth I didn't know I was waiting for. She's a psychologist, speaker, and bestselling author who's spent decades helping people reconnect—with each other and with themselves. From psychiatric units to packed stages, her work is refreshingly raw, deeply human, and just the right amount of hilarious.

DUCKLING er et nyt medie for unge i alderen 13–19 år – et alternativ til TikTok og Instagram, men med journalistisk substans. Platformen er skabt af journalisterne Bjarke Calvin Vinding og Camilla Gamborg Isaksen samt software-ingeniøren Magnus Stuart Juul. Navnet er inspireret af H.C. Andersens, "Den grimme ælling" – en fortælling om udvikling, potentiale og behovet for lidt hjælp undervejs.Unge fravælger i stigende grad traditionelle medier som aviser og tv. Det ser DUCKLINGs stiftere som et demokratisk problem: Hvis unge aldrig lærer at bruge journalistiske medier, risikerer vi at miste deres perspektiv og deltagelse i samfundsdebatten.Derfor er DUCKLING visuelt og videobaseret med korte, swipebare slides, der kombinerer tekst, billeder og video. Teksten er ikke død – men serveres i små, læsbare bidder, der engagerer unge og motiverer til refleksion. Indholdet tager udgangspunkt i fortællinger: Noget skete, det var svært, jeg løste det – og lærte noget, du måske også kan bruge. 🧠Formatet lægger op til fællesskab og eftertænksomhed frem for overfladisk scrolling. Brugerne kan ikke kun læse – de kan også bidrage og interagere med indholdet. 🌐 Målet er at skabe et digitalt fællesskab, hvor unge bliver klogere på sig selv og på verden omkring dem – og hvor journalistik bliver relevant for næste generation.Medvirkende:Bjarke Calvin Vinding, stifter, DucklingLinks:Duckling https://www.duckling.co/da

Feeling burnt out, unfulfilled, and in overdrive?? We live in a world where we operate from our analytical brains. As much as that is needed and has its place, if we don't balance it with soulful creation, we will be left feeling passionless and stuck. In today's episode, we discuss WHY we need to incorporate both energies and how it's actually advantageous to create from a heart led place. As our truest core, we are divine intelligence and consciousness and the sure way to tap into that wisdom is to get out of our heads and into our hearts. I share exactly HOW to actually get in that space, one of them being to spend less time on your phone so I also share tips on that to cut the distraction. .Thailand Wellness Retreat // https://trovatrip.com/trip/asia/thailand/thailand-with-olivia-catania-nov-2025.Timestamps0:00 Welcome and Gratitude!3:47 The Innate Wisdom of BEING12:11 How to Get into Your Heart Space28:07 Tips to Get off of Your Phone and Stop Scrolling36:55 Summary and Affirmation38:18 Livfiit Thailand Retreat!

I hope you all enjoy, and see you again soon for another Vanilla Sunday!

Every day feels like a collective struggle to maintain sanity amid relentless digital chaos. We wake up to a torrent of notifications, emails, and breaking news each chipping away at our collective peace of mind, leaving society perpetually anxious and unsettled. Social media floods us with snapshots of manufactured perfection, silently amplifying anxiety and subtly weaving depression into the fabric of daily life. AI-driven therapy apps promise relief, yet lack the emotional depth of genuine human connection. Cyberbullying, amplified by deepfake technology, weaponizes identities, escalating cruelty to unprecedented heights. It's evident how deeply this constant digital immersion reshapes our interactions and relationships. When my son goes just a day without social media or gaming, he reemerges as himself thoughtful, attentive, and engaged reflecting a broader reality: beneath the constant digital noise lies a society yearning for genuine connection. In the U.S., the instability, constant threats of tariffs on-tariffs off, annexation rhetoric, and the turbulence of the MAGA presidency have plunged the collective psyche into chronic anxiety. Doomscrolling evolved from an idle habit into a widespread mental health crisis, eroding our emotional resilience one unsettling headline at a time. This isn't about rejecting technology entirely; it's about confronting and understanding the true emotional toll it exacts on us all and finding pathways to reclaim a healthier balance amidst relentless digital disruption. The Social Media Spiral At first glance, social media seems harmless. It connects us with loved ones, lets us share our lives, and gives us a space to talk about mental health. But we've learned that behind the highlight reels, carefully edited selfies, and viral posts is a darker side one that's fueling a wave of anxiety, depression, and even self-diagnosis. The Comparison Trap People often present idealized versions of their lives online with highlight reels filled with vacations, promotions, and picture-perfect relationships. But behind these curated images are struggles that go unseen. Research from the University of Pennsylvania (Go Penn!) found a direct link between social media use and increased feelings of loneliness and depression, particularly among young adults. The more time people spend scrolling, the worse they tend to feel about themselves. The Rise of Self-Diagnosis Social media has also changed how people view mental health. While increased awareness is a positive development, platforms like TikTok have led to a surge in self-diagnosis. Videos describing conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder (BPD) often simplify complex mental health issues. As a result, people may incorrectly label their experiences without professional guidance. Self-diagnosis can be dangerous. Mental health conditions require a thorough evaluation, and misidentifying symptoms can lead to inappropriate coping mechanisms or even delays in seeking proper treatment. While social media can provide support, it should never replace professional assessment and care. AI Therapy Apps: A Helpful Tool or a Risky Shortcut? With the rising cost of mental health care, AI-driven therapy apps have emerged as a convenient alternative. Apps like Woebot and Wysa use artificial intelligence to provide emotional support, guided exercises, and even cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques. But do they actually help? The Benefits AI therapy apps offer an accessible, low-cost option for those hesitant to seek in-person care. They provide immediate support, which can be useful in moments of distress. For people who struggle with traditional therapy due to stigma or financial barriers, these tools can serve as a first step toward mental health care. The Risks However, AI lacks the ability to truly understand human emotions. Unlike a trained therapist, an algorithm cannot detect subtle changes in tone, body language, or person...

The Wheel of Doom is introduced—spinning to select random bizarre videos to react to. 15:00 - 30:00 | Internet Outrage & Architectural Conspiracies The first Wheel of Doom clip features a woman aggressively using controversial language online—sparking debate about internet outrage culture. Hosts discuss how being aggressively hot gives people a bigger platform online. Video about architecture affecting brain function—high ceilings promote creativity, low ceilings encourage focus. Speculation that modern architecture is deliberately designed to dull people's minds and raise anxiety levels. Sam calls the Tesla Cybertruck ugly and compares its design to Elon Musk's chest. 30:00 - 45:00 | Paranormal Investigations & Hauntings Midnight Mike shares past experiences with non-human negative energy (a.k.a. possible demonic encounters). They discuss ghost hunting—most hauntings aren't terrifying but just energy lingering in places. Some ghosts have a sense of humor—one even played Pictionary with investigators. Conspiracy theory that hauntings are actually spirits stuck in between worlds during their energy transfer. Sam shares a story about a guy waking up with unexplained scratch marks on his back—potential demonic activity? Tucker Carlson recently claimed a similar experience. 45:00 - 60:00 | Ancient History & Suppressed Knowledge A video clip shows seashells found on top of mountains, questioning mainstream geological history. Sam and Mike argue that scientists guess most of their conclusions and resist change for generations. Debate over whether tectonic plates or some unexplained event put seashells that high up. Sam jokes about not wanting to ask AI (like ChatGPT) for answers because the mystery is better. The shortest clip in Doom Scrolling history plays—so short they don't even know what it was about. 60:00 - 75:00 | Viral Stupidity & Internet Trends The Wheel of Doom lands on a video of two guys in Eastern Europe playing a dangerous game—tying a water bottle to a rope and smashing each other in the head. Mike compares it to Jackass, but without a paycheck. Sam points out that men go viral by doing stupid things, while women go viral by being aggressively hot or super kinky. They reflect on Steve-O's career—how you have to keep getting weirder to stay relevant. Internet content today is just exporting stupidity to the rest of the world. 75:00 - 90:00 | Final Chaos & Conspiracy Wrap-Up Another Wheel of Doom spin—people getting hit so hard they start speaking French. Sam and Mike joke about how this is what our money is funding in Ukraine. Discussion about demonic pranks—ghosts messing with people just to cause problems. Mike shares a final ghost story about a haunted scratch attack. Closing thoughts: the world is more complex than we think, and that's why we doomscroll.   Watch Full Episodes on Sam's channels: - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SamTripoli - Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/SamTripoli Sam Tripoli: Tin Foil Hat Podcast Website: SamTripoli.com Twitter: https://x.com/samtripoli Midnight Mike: The OBDM Podcast Website: https://ourbigdumbmouth.com/ Twitter: https://x.com/obdmpod Doom Scrollin' Telegram: https://t.me/+La3v2IUctLlhYWUx

Is your phone your bestie or your frenemy? This week we're diving deep into the tricky relationship between social media and self-care. We're talking dopamine hits, comparison traps, and how to curate a feed that fuels your soul, not your anxiety. Join us for tips, tricks, and maybe a little digital detox inspiration. Let's reclaim our time and our sanity, one mindful scroll at a time!

In an online world dominated by the "need" for engagement, negative headlines soar above the positive and mundane happenings around us. I'm not familiar with the scientific reason, but I do know the human brain seems to be captivated by negativity and controversy. It creates a fascination, a reaction, and a response; so our news, media, social media, and conversations are often oversaturated with it.However, statistics indicate the world isn't any more "bad" than it was in the past; we are just more aware of it. But just because we have access to the constant stream of negativity doesn't mean it's healthy for us or that we are meant to consume it. In fact, statistics say that we consume as much negativity in one day as our ancestors used to receive in their whole lifetime, and the human brain has not evolved to adjust to it. So it's no wonder that we live in a society suffering from depression, anxiety, doomscrolling, burnout, and so much more.But we don't have to leave it at that! Science shows we can take steps to improve our happiness, regardless of what negativity surrounds us. So I invite you to join me for the free 3-week Happiness Challenge. We start February 23, but you can join at any time. After the challenge is over, the content will still be available inside the Aligned Entrepreneurs Hive.Tune into this episode to learn more about what to expect in the challenge.Send a Fan Mail Message!If you've found this episode helpful or inspiring, feel free to support the podcast via Ko-fi

00:00 - 30:00 | Kicking Off & The Wheel of Doom Spins Up Show Opening & Banter Midnight Mike and Sam Tripoli kick things off with their usual chaotic energy. Sam promotes his upcoming comedy tour dates in Phoenix and Detroit. Midnight Mike says he's here just for the videos. The Fake Arrest Business A viral service lets men fake their own arrest to get away for a fishing trip. Cops show up, create a chaotic scene, and then drop you off at a campsite with beers and bait. Sam shares a story about a comedian who faked being robbed to get out of bad dates. Haunted Video Game Urban Legend – ‘Spirit Catcher' A creepy SNES game that supposedly predicts the player's death. The final level has a mirror that shows a player's real-life reflection before revealing their fate. The game is linked to a real-life haunted hotel where six people vanished. The hosts compare it to the classic gaming urban legend Polybius. 30:00 - 60:00 | Gaming Surveillance & The Kendrick-Drake Conspiracy Call of Duty & AI NPCs Discussion on reports that Call of Duty secretly records facial expressions through webcams. The game supposedly uses this data to generate AI versions of players that continue playing when they log off. This leads to a conversation about AI clones and social media manipulation. Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake Super Bowl Conspiracy Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance is analyzed for hidden messages aimed at Drake. References to XXXTentacion's death through the use of “X” symbols. His backup dancers' hair matched XXXTentacion's signature hairstyle. Connections between PJ Lang (Kendrick's brand) and Sony (Drake's label). Sam and Midnight are blown away by the level of subliminal messaging. 60:00 - 90:00 | Cultural Shifts & Bizarre Records Hip-Hop is Dying – Country Music on the Rise Discussion on why hip-hop is fading and why people are gravitating toward country music. Fans are more loyal, still buy albums, and stick with artists for life. Rock is also struggling, as no new bands are replacing legends like Metallica. Wheelbarrow Freestyle – The Ultimate Guinness Record Hustle Video of a guy doing skateboard-style tricks with a wheelbarrow. Sam and Midnight joke about how ridiculous Guinness World Records are now. “Be the best at something no one else even attempts.” Twerking & Political Brainwashing A viral video of a woman in a bikini explaining psychological manipulation techniques. Sam reminisces about his old project Twerking in Politics. Whale tails (visible thongs) make a comeback discussion.

Yeah, it is a real thing and we are existing in it. From the looks of things most of us are struggling and that is never a good thing. An infodemic is a smash up between too much information and a pandemic. I didn't invent this term. Goes back to 2001-2003ish.   There is a pandemic of bad, worse and toxic levels of disinformation. People are getting sick or at risk of ingesting poor quality information sources.    I'm not being hyperbolic here. I stopped monitoring local and national news. All of it and cut back on social media too. And I actually turn off my phone at night.    In my limited defense, I did not want constant notifications of dubious statements and horrifying facts. I've mention this in the podcast. It is ok to take a break from the firehouse of news.   But there is a cost.  One morning, I woke up, turned on the phone and found out about not one but two wildfires.   We need safe and viable ways to monitor the news without crushing our spirts to dust. I have an idea or two.  This are just my ideas. We can build something better than what we have.    Doomscrolling will not get us there.
