The Highlight Reel Problem

The internet has never been more powerful—or more confusing. Every day we're bombarded with advice, opinions, AI-generated content, perfectly curated lives, and an endless stream of people telling us how to think, look, work, eat, and live. In this episode, I'm unpacking my complicated relationship with social media, why comparison has become an impossible game to win, why I believe digital literacy is just as important as financial literacy, and why the thing that scares me most isn't artificial intelligence—it's losing our ability to think for ourselves. Because the question isn't whether technology is good or bad. It's whether we can stay human while living alongside it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Because the question isn't whether technology is good or bad.

It's whether we can stay human while living alongside it.
