"THE WORLD'S A STAGE, WITH NO ENCORE" SUNG BY KYLIE WILLOW rockraymond productions © Copyright rockraymondproductions.com All Rights Reserved. Lyrics:   Verse 1  I wake to sirens in my spine,  Coffee cold, dreams in decline.  Rent's a prayer I whisper thin,  While the world spins gold for someone else's sin.    Pre-Chorus  I wear my rage like a velvet coat,  Stitched with silence, stitched with smoke.  They sell salvation in neon light,  But I've got bruises that don't feel right.    Chorus  Concrete veins,  Running through my skin.  I smile like a weapon,  Just to fit in.  This city feeds  On what I won't show—  But I bleed in rhythm  They'll never know.    Verse 2  My phone's a mirror I can't escape,  Scrolling through lives I'll never shape.  They say “be grateful,” they say “be kind,”  But kindness don't pay when you're losing your mind.    Bridge  I scream in lowercase,  Cry in code.  My heart's a glitch  In their perfect mold.  I'm not broken—  I'm just awake.  And that's a risk they'll never take.    Final Chorus  Concrete veins,  Running through my skin.  I smile like a weapon,  Just to fit in.  This world's a stage  With no encore—  But I'll burn the script  And write much more.

It's not too late to reset the screen-time limits and boundaries you've set for your kids—and the reasons to take action are becoming increasingly clear.In this episode, Dr. Carrie Mackensen joins host Nicki Petrossi to unpack the science behind interactive screens and short-form media and how they impact children's brain development. Her clear, accessible approach helps parents understand what's happening neurologically and how to make informed choices.Our brains operate using two key systems: the emotional center, which rewards us with dopamine when something feels good, and the thinking brain, where we analyze, reflect, and make decisions. Activities like riding a bike or climbing a tree provide healthy dopamine boosts through effort and engagement. But scrolling social media or watching endless YouTube Shorts floods kids' brains with 100 to 200 times the dopamine—without any effort—bypassing the thinking brain entirely. Over time, this leads to an underdeveloped thinking brain and an overstimulated emotional center.The result? Kids who are increasingly anxious, withdrawn, emotionally dysregulated, and lack critical thinking skills. The good news: It's not too late to make a change. Thanks to the brain's neuroplasticity, you can help rewire these patterns and restore balance at home. Dr. Mackensen, a clinical psychologist, parent coach, and mom of two boys, shares her proven approach in conversation with Nicki from Scrolling 2 Death. Together, they offer practical tools and clear screen-time guidelines to help families create healthier digital boundaries.This is an episode every parent needs to hear.Dr. Carrie Mackensen is a clinical psychologist turned parent coach, author, and founder of Successful Parent. With a PhD in Individual, Family, and Child Psychology and experience as an attending psychologist at Cedars-Sinai and later as Clinical Director of a high-end residential addiction treatment program in Beverly Hills, she now helps families navigate the challenges of raising kids in a digital world. Drawing on both her clinical expertise and her own journey as a mom of two boys, Dr. Carrie blends neuroscience, attachment theory, and practical tools to empower parents to set healthy tech boundaries and strengthen family connection.

Scrolling often reveals a deeper search for purpose, peace, or escape. But Jesus invites us to “seek first the Kingdom of God.” This final week calls us to reorient our attention and desires toward Him. When we set our minds on things above, we find true purpose, peace, and joy, not by looking down at our screens but by looking up to our Savior.

Just one hour of scrolling on your smartphone is enough to trigger measurable eye strain, reducing how often you blink and leaving your eyes dry and tired Social media reels are harder on your eyes than reading or watching videos because constant brightness changes force your pupils to adjust nonstop Eye strain builds over time, with the most noticeable discomfort showing up after the 40-minute mark, when blinking patterns become irregular Nearly all participants in the study reported dryness, fatigue, and blurred vision, proving that the measurable eye changes match real-world discomfort Simple lifestyle steps like reducing screen time, taking longer breaks, cutting out blue light at night, improving nutrition, and spending more time outdoors protect your eyes from daily screen stress

Live from Central Park, NYC!This week on Scrolling 2 Death, attorney Laura Marquez-Garrett from Social Media Victims Law Center (SMVLC) joins Nicki to unpack a major legal battle unfolding against AI chatbots. Laura's firm just filed three new lawsuits on behalf of families whose children were harmed by the app Character.AI—while Congress simultaneously held a Senate hearing on the dangers of these bots. We dig into what happened to these kids, why Google is also being sued, what lawmakers might actually do, and what every parent needs to know right now about protecting their children from abusive AI.Resources mentioned in the episode:Interview with Megan Garcia, mom of Sewell Setzer IIIInterview with a Texas mom whose son was harmed by Character.AIPublicly-filed complaints against Character.AI and GoogleVideo recaps of the newly-filed complaints here and hereLink to hearing: Examining the Harm of AI Chatbots‍PARENTS: Contact your Senators (senate.gov) and House Rep (house.gov).

You're surrounded by illusions that feel good now but rob you later, p*** as the illusion of intimacy, video games as the illusion of achievement, processed food as the illusion of nourishment, dating apps as the illusion of choice, doom-scrolling as the illusion of connection, weed as the illusion of peace, alcohol as the illusion of confidence, and gambling as the illusion of success. In this episode, I not only name these traps and reveal how they pacify your drive and blur your path to fulfillment. I'll also show you what to do about them, how to recognize them for what they are, and how to take back control when they show up in your life. I'm not speaking from a pedestal. I spent a decade dependent on Adderall, fell into compulsive online habits, and learned the hard way that comfort isn't the cure. I share my story and the science that helped me rebuild, how turning toward pain, not away from it, forged discipline, resilience, and a more meaningful life.You'll leave with a simple lens: when a craving hits, ask, “What deep, meaningful work am I avoiding right now?” Then we use that signal to take one honest step today.

The rapid advance of digital technology is reshaping our world and warping our minds. The onslaught of social media and smartphones has brought an appetite for distraction, an epidemic of loneliness, and increased rates of mental unhealth. For Christians, the digital revolution has profound implications for spiritual formation and mission. How should believers respond to the theological and discipleship challenges of scrolling life?  Listen in as Dr. Jeff chats with Brett McCracken, who is a senior editor for the Gospel Coalition and the author of The Wisdom Pyramid: Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World, Uncomfortable: The Awkward and Essential Challenge of Christian Community, and co-editor of Scrolling Ourselves to Death: Reclaiming Life in a Digital Age.

Episode 319 Scientists have created the first complete activity map of a mouse's brain. Combining brain images from multiple mice, researchers recorded more than 650,000 neurons while these mice manipulated little Lego steering wheels in a driving game. This complex behaviour has allowed scientists to examine the interplay between various parts of the brain - and could help us better understand consciousness. This might be the weirdest discovery about ants ever. Some eggs laid by Queen Iberian harvester ants (Messor ibericus) contain males of another species - that of the builder harvest ant (Messor structor). They are somehow cloning these males to create workers for the colony - a highly unusual form of reproduction. Find out how they're doing it - and let us know what your favourite ant is. Do you scroll on your phone when you're on the toilet? Well, you might want to stop doing that. For a long time we've thought straining on the loo increased your risk of developing haemorrhoids, also known as piles. But a new study shows it might be more to do with how long you're spending on the loo. Find out how scrolling through addictive apps could increase your risk of haemorrhoids by 50 per cent.

Are you winning at work but losing at home? In today's world of constant pings, buzzing watches, and never-ending to-do lists, it's easier than ever to live distracted. But here's the truth: our relationships are paying the price.In this solo episode, I'm sharing a vulnerable confession of how I've fallen into the trap of being half-present—scrolling my phone in the middle of conversations, multitasking while my kids are talking to me, and letting my most valuable relationships get only the leftovers of my attention.But everything shifted on a recent trip with my daughter Faith. By choosing to put the phone away and focus on quality time—not just quantity—I was reminded how powerful presence really is. From bedtime conversations with my son to coffee with friends, I've realized that the “gold” in life isn't achievement, it's connection.We'll talk about:Why presence matters more than productivityHow distraction is quietly eroding our marriages, families, and friendshipsSimple habits to retrain your brain for focused attentionWhy quality time always beats quantity timeHow 15 minutes of undivided presence can transform a relationshipIf you've been feeling disconnected, lonely, or overwhelmed by constant distraction, this episode is your reminder: it's not too late. Start small. Put the phone down. Make eye contact. Give your full attention. The people you love will feel the difference—and so will you.Connect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comFree Download: 5 Steps to Win Through AdversitySocial Media: Follow us on Facebook and InstagramEmail: amy@amywienands.comEpisode Minute By Minute:00:00 – Are you winning at work but losing at home?01:00 – The New York trip with Faith: choosing presence03:00 – How distraction shows up in daily life05:00 – Sitting on my phone at a Broadway play (true confession)07:00 – Bedtime moments with Foster: why they matter more than work09:00 – Why quality time beats quantity time10:00 – The loneliness of a distracted world12:00 – Small habits that retrain your brain for presence14:00 – Stories of walking, talking, and putting technology aside16:00 – Why our phones are more addictive than we realize18:00 – Leaders and entrepreneurs: the Achilles heel of distraction19:00 – Challenge: 15 minutes of undistracted presence20:00 – Final encouragement: Presence is the real winBe intentional, stay focused, and remember you are more!

I caught myself doing it again. Scrolling through Instagram, seeing a post from someone I usually love, and thinking "I can't believe they just said that. That goes completely against everything I thought they stood for."Then it hit me—the massive hypocrisy I was living. Here I am, constantly talking about authenticity, encouraging people to show up as their fullest expression, to stop shrinking because someone criticized them... and in the same breath, I'm sitting here judging someone else for their authenticity because it doesn't align with mine.This episode is about the flip side of the authenticity conversation that nobody wants to talk about. We're so focused on our right to be authentic that we've forgotten other people get that same right—even when their truth challenges ours, even when they evolve in ways we don't understand, even when they post something that triggers the hell out of us.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:Why saying "I want to be more authentic than that person" is actually comparing your authenticity to theirs (and how this comparison game kills the very thing you're trying to create).The responsibility trap that's keeping you distracted—why it's not your job to tell other entrepreneurs they're "doing it wrong" and how staying in your lane creates deeper freedom than any authentic expression ever could.How your judgment of others reveals exactly what you're judging about yourself (and the specific questions to ask when you catch yourself rolling your eyes at someone's content).The difference between polarizing content that comes from your unique perspective versus manufactured controversy designed to divide—and why one builds authentic connection while the other destroys it.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

Sometimes we treat doing nothing like a crime. Like we've failed somehow if we're not productive, not checking things off, not improving ourselves every waking second. But here's the truth: doing nothing isn't lazy. It's necessary.Rest isn't always sleeping or meditating or going on a wellness retreat. Sometimes, it's lying on the floor and staring at the ceiling. Scrolling without purpose. Sitting in silence with a cup of something warm. Not fixing anything. Not solving your life.And when you live with depression, even just surviving the day is a full-time job. So if all you did today was breathe, that's not nothing — that's enough.Doing nothing can be an act of quiet rebellion in a world obsessed with hustle. It's a way of saying: My worth isn't measured by my output. I'm allowed to exist without constantly performing wellness or productivity.So today, if you need it — take the pause. Unplug. Un-do. Un-become for a while. You don't owe anyone your energy, especially when you're running low.You don't need to fix yourself to be worthy.Rest isn't laziness — it's an act of self-acceptance.Doing nothing can be an art form, especially when you're struggling.Always look forward to something- no matter how small.

Ever notice how you can put your phone down and then 20 seconds later it's mysteriously back in your hand? Or how you tell yourself you'll stop overeating, but then find yourself at the gas station buying snacks you don't even want? In this episode, I'm getting real about urges - not just food urges, but ALL the urges that run our lives. The scrolling, the shopping, the working until midnight, the constant need to be doing something other than just... being here. We just wrapped up a 3-week Urge Challenge in the club, and the insights that came out of it blew my mind. People started tracking their overeating urges and quickly realized they had urges for everything - and that maybe, just maybe, the urge isn't actually the problem. What we're diving into: Why you can put your phone down and pick it back up without even realizing it The difference between an urge and your fear of the urge (spoiler: one of these is way worse) How society normalizes certain escapes while shaming others Why some people are getting baby chickens and accidentally losing weight The weird thing that happens when you fight an urge so hard that eating becomes about ending the fight, not the food What it's like to sit in an Uber without your phone (harder than you think) Why working 12-hour days gets praised but it might be the same pattern as overeating Plus, I share my own struggle with my phone and how recovering from chronic pain made my phone my unfortunate companion. Ryan jumps in with his realization about work urges and how he uses productivity to avoid... well, you'll see. This isn't about perfection. It's about noticing what your habits are trying to tell you. Because every urge, every automatic behavior, every "I can't help it" moment - they're all messengers. The question is: are you getting the message? Click here to join vibe club  

Social media platforms are designed to hijack our brain's reward system, keeping us hooked through endless dopamine hits. This constant stimulation fragments our attention, reshapes our behavior, and can lead to burnout, anxiety, and even addiction—especially in developing brains. The more we scroll, the more we crave quick hits of novelty, making it harder to tolerate boredom or engage in deeper, more meaningful tasks. And while adults may struggle, kids are even more vulnerable, facing emotional dysregulation and long-term brain changes. The good news? Awareness is the first step toward reclaiming agency and creating healthier boundaries in a world built for distraction. Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist, bestselling author, and professor at NYU's Stern School of Business. His research focuses on the moral foundations of culture and politics, exploring why good people are divided by religion, ideology, and values. He is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis, The Righteous Mind, and The Coddling of the American Mind (co-authored with Greg Lukianoff), and has given four widely viewed TED talks. Haidt is also a co-founder of Heterodox Academy, the Constructive Dialogue Institute, and Ethical Systems—organizations that promote viewpoint diversity, constructive disagreement, and ethical leadership. Since 2018, he has turned his attention to the mental health crisis among teens and the role of social media in political polarization. His latest book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, was published in 2024. In 2019, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Cal Newport is an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University.

He has never had a social media account.
