In this urgent and deeply concerning conversation, host Theresa E. Gonzales sits down with former NY Times journalist, author, and activist Julie Scelfo. She is now the founder and  executive director of Mothers Against Media Addiction (MAMA). Together, Julie and Theresa's combined knowledge of these social media platforms begin to pull back the curtain on the hidden harms of modern technology—particularly how unregulated social media platforms and AI-powered algorithms are targeting, addicting, and endangering children. Julie also discusses how she and Mothers Against Media Addiction, helped to create the first kids cell phone policy in NY schools, the "Bell To Bell" policy, which is the largest state legislation to help kids become more engaged in school  and to limit phone screen time. Julie brings to the table years of investigative reporting, alarming statistics (including a 92.3% increase in suicide among Hispanic children), and heartbreaking stories of young lives lost due to harmful content exposure online. She details how media addiction has been normalized, how schools are becoming battlegrounds for attention, and what it means to fight for systemic safeguards and legislation like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). She has help create 35 chapters across 22 states in just over a year, which is a testament to  wearemama.org, and how they are mobilizing parents across the country to reclaim control, and change the future of digital safety.

Do I have your attention right now? I'm guessing probably not. Or, at least, not all of it. In all likelihood, you're listening to this on your morning commute, or while you wash the dishes or check your e-mail.We are living in a world of perpetual distraction. There are more things to read, watch and listen to than ever before – but our brains, it turns out, can only absorb so much. Politicians like Donald Trump have figured out how to exploit this dynamic. If you're constantly saying outrageous things, it becomes almost impossible to focus on the things that really matter. Trump's former strategist Steve Bannon called this strategy “flooding the zone.”As the host of the MSNBC show All In, Chris Hayes has had a front-row seat to the war for our attention – and, now, he's decided to sound the alarm with a new book called The Sirens' Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource.Hayes joined me to explain how our attention became so scarce, and what happens to us when we lose the ability to focus on the things that matter most.Mentioned:"Twitter and Tear Gas: The Power and Fragility of Networked Protest," by Zeynep TufekciFurther Reading:"Ethics of the Attention Economy: The Problem of Social Media Addiction," by Vikram R.

A bill to limit the addictive design elements of social media apps was discussed at the Nebraska Legislature Monday afternoon. Sen. Carolyn Bosn introduced the bill at the request of Gov. Jim Pillen. The legislation prevents minors from having their private information shared and requires companies to curb features like infinite scroll and frequent push alerts. Opponents of the bill say it is likely unconstitutional, citing a similar California law that the courts struck down. Bosn said the Nebraska proposal has addressed the legal concerns.

The conversation explores the importance of support systems, the impact of music and loss, and the role of social media in addiction. It also touches on the emerging concerns around substances like kratom and the journey through alcoholism, culminating in the transition to harder drugs. In this conversation, David Manheim shares his harrowing journey through addiction, exploring the transformation he underwent due to alcohol, the vibrant yet dangerous clubbing culture, and the toxic relationships that fueled his substance abuse. He recounts his experiences in rehab, the impact of trauma on his life, and the chaotic descent into crystal meth addiction. David reflects on the romanticization of toxic relationships and the profound effects of childhood trauma, ultimately leading to a cycle of addiction and isolation. His story is a raw and honest portrayal of the struggles faced in the battle against addiction and the quest for identity and belonging. In this conversation, David Manheim and Tony Becker delve into the complexities of addiction, recovery, and personal growth. Tony shares her journey through relationships, substance abuse, and the impact of loss on her recovery process. The discussion highlights the importance of community support, self-awareness, and the challenges of navigating eating disorders in recovery. Ultimately, Tony's story is one of resilience, transformation, and the power of connection in overcoming addiction. takeaways Addiction is a complex issue that requires compassion and connection. Support systems play a crucial role in recovery. Personal stories can help others feel less alone in their struggles. Music can be a powerful tool for reflection and healing. Community engagement is vital for those in recovery. Kratom is a controversial substance with both benefits and risks. Social media can become an addiction in itself. The journey through addiction often starts with seemingly harmless substances. Alcoholism can lead to severe consequences and treatment is often necessary. The transition to harder drugs can happen quickly after initial substance use. David's transformation through alcohol led to dangerous behaviors. Clubbing culture became a significant part of David's identity. Rehab was initially seen as a way to appease others, not for self-help. Tragedy struck with the loss of a loved one, escalating his addiction. David's relationship with meth became intertwined with his identity. Romanticizing toxic relationships led to further chaos in David's life. Childhood trauma had a lasting impact on David's mental health. The cycle of addiction often leads to isolation and despair. Trusting the wrong people can lead to devastating consequences. David's story highlights the complexities of addiction and recovery. Tony internalized a relationship that was more significant to her than to her partner. The influence of a new relationship helped Tony let go of her past. Tony's online activities provided affirmation but lacked monetization. The turning point in recovery came from a counselor's tough love. Tony's father's illness gave her perspective on her own struggles. Recovery is a gradual process, not a linear path. Community support was crucial for Tony's recovery journey. Tony's eating disorder emerged as a hidden struggle during recovery. The impact of loss can catalyze significant change in one's life. Tony's story emphasizes that recovery is just the beginning of a new life. titles The Struggles of Addiction and Recovery Support Systems in Recovery Reflections on Halloween and Personal Stories The Impact of Music and Loss Voicemails and Community Engagement Exploring Kratom and New Substances Social Media and Addiction Personal Stories of Drug Use The Journey Through Alcoholism The Transition to Harder Drugs From Partying to Pain: A Journey Through Addiction The Dark Side of Clubbing: Identity and Addiction Sound Bites "I wanna be where everybody does cocaine" "Rest in peace Phil Lesh" "I love Dopey stories from Grateful Dead" "Kratom has helped a lot of people" "I started to obsess over social media" "I blacked out the first time I drank" "I went to a party and got trashed" "I met a guy and I was very drunk" "I became a different person."

Send us a textLife happens when you're busy scrolling on your phone. Short attention spans, anxiety, low self esteem, waste of time and loss of meaningful human connections are just some of the many pitfalls of addiction to social media. Join Samir and Hannah as they talk about their own struggles and efforts to unplug and breathe. 

In a recent article in the Harvard Business Review, Kelsey Hansen writes about social media addiction as something that her younger self struggled with, even though at the time she didn't realize just how addicted she was becoming. She confesses to noticing that her attention span and mental capacity were suffering. She'd be working on her school assignments, but constantly and repeatedly interrupting her work, checking on her social media accounts. She cites Max Fisher's book on the designed addictiveness of social media, titled “the Chaos Machine: the Inside Story of How Social Media Rewired Our Minds and Our World”: Fisher talks about how social media platforms are designed to trigger a dopamine release in our brains. He writes, “Dopamine creates a positive association with whatever behaviors prompted its release, training you to repeat them.” This applies even to self-destructive behaviors. Parents, set borders and boundaries, and teach your kids to redeem their time.

In today's digital age, social media has woven itself into the fabric of our daily lives, offering both connection and distraction at our fingertips. And while social media has some beautiful and supportive aspects, the algorithms behind it are designed to be highly addictive and manipulative. We scroll, hoping to find something uplifting, educational, or distracting, but we soon find ourselves lost in the unfulfilling world of doomscrolling. The endless scroll for dopamine hits can lead to significant costs: nervous system dysregulation, emotional exhaustion, and a disrupted sense of self. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, you'll be guided to connect with your body in a way that gently regulates your nervous system. Then we'll use a body-centered emotional processing technique (called Regenerating Images in Memory®) to examine and process the deeper feelings, needs and desires that are driving your doomscrolling in the first place. This meditation can be incredibly regulating and clarifying, empowering you to create a more mindful relationship with technology—one that supports your well-being rather than depleting it.
