    S1E20 – Shelly Ketelhut - Social Media Overloaded

    We live in a time where information moves faster than our ability to process it. In this episode of the No One Is Normal Podcast, I sit down with Shelly Ketelhut, licensed professional counselor and clinical substance abuse counselor, to talk about how constant information, social media, and digital overload are impacting the way we think, feel, and respond. Shelly explains how the brain is wired to react quickly to perceived threats, and how today’s nonstop flow of notifications, headlines, and partial stories can trigger that same fight-or-flight response. When that happens, emotion takes over while critical thinking struggles to keep up. We talk about confirmation bias, incomplete narratives, and how people often fill in the gaps of a story with their own experiences, creating beliefs that feel real but are not always accurate. This conversation also focuses on solutions. Shelly shares practical ways to create healthier boundaries with technology, including limiting screen time, setting intentional windows for news consumption, and building space between reaction and response. We explore the impact of FOMO, comparison, and constant connectivity, and why more access to information is not always leading to more clarity. Instead, it often creates noise, stress, and disconnection. This episode is about slowing down, thinking clearly, and learning how to stay grounded in a world that never stops moving. 🔗 More from me: 🎙️ Podcast & episodes: https://www.bradhhill.com/podcast 📖 Book (Print + Kindle): https://a.co/d/016Dh1eB 🎧 Audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/No-One-Is-Normal-Breaking-Free-from-Normal-Audiobook/B0GJFWBSBZ 👕 Wear the message: https://www.bradhhill.com/merch

    S1E19 - Social Media Isn't Real

    Social media can connect people across the world… and still leave me feeling completely alone. It can build relationships that change my life, and it can tear down my confidence in a single comment. And the longer I stayed plugged into the noise, the easier it became to forget who I was outside of a screen. In this episode of No One Is Normal, I talk about the reality of living in a world where everything is public, performative, and open to judgment. I share what it felt like to be attacked by strangers, the temptation to fight back, and the quiet damage that comes from tying my self-worth to likes, comments, and validation from people who don’t actually know me. I also get honest about the paradox of social media. It’s where I met my wife. It’s where real connection exists. But it’s also where comparison, outrage, and loneliness quietly grow if I’m not paying attention. This is about learning to set boundaries, protecting my peace, and remembering that my real life exists off the screen. Because the hard truth and the freeing truth are the same: Social media only has as much power as I give it. 🔗 More from me: 🎙️ Podcast & episodes: https://www.bradhhill.com/podcast 📖 Book (Print + Kindle): https://a.co/d/016Dh1eB 🎧 Audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/No-One-Is-Normal-Breaking-Free-from-Normal-Audiobook/B0GJFWBSBZ 👕 Wear the message: https://www.bradhhill.com/merch

    S1E18 - Philip Briscoe - Midlife Reset

    Midlife does not always arrive with a dramatic crash. Sometimes it shows up quietly, after the career that defined you stops feeling the same. In this episode of the No One Is Normal Podcast, I sit down with Philip Briscoe, creator of the Midlife Men podcast, to talk about what happens when work, identity, and purpose collide in the middle of life. Philip shares how burnout from a startup job forced him to rethink who he was outside of his career. That period of reflection eventually led him to start a podcast focused on something many men struggle to talk about openly. Mental health, identity, vulnerability, and the difficult questions that often appear in midlife. We talk about why so many men keep struggles hidden, how humor can open the door to conversations about heavy topics, and why midlife can be less about crisis and more about awareness. It is a moment where people can step back, question old definitions of success, and decide what actually matters moving forward. This conversation is about honesty, reflection, and the courage to start asking better questions about the life you are building. 🎧 Philip Briscoe’s podcast: https://mid-lifemen.com 🔗 More from me: 🎙️ Podcast & episodes: https://www.bradhhill.com/podcast 📖 Book (Print + Kindle): https://a.co/d/016Dh1eB 🎧 Audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/No-One-Is-Normal-Breaking-Free-from-Normal-Audiobook/B0GJFWBSBZ 👕 Wear the message: https://www.bradhhill.com/merch
