Creating Midlife Calm: Coping Skills for Stress & Anxiety in Family, Work & Relationships Ep.62 Coping Skills for Managing the Stress & Anxiety of TikTok Addiction!
Join MJ on a six-month journey with her guest, who initiates a self-imposed TikTok Block. Initially struggling with phone overuse, especially on TikTok, the guest deletes the app and shares valuable insights and strategies regarding the effects this has on her mental and physical wellness over time. The transformation illustrates the power of social media algorithms on the human brain and highlights the importance of digital self-care in an age of constant connectivity, overused devices, and highly addictive apps. The guest advocates for listeners to actively oversee and manage their social media engagement, whether it's on TikTok, Facebook, or any other platforms that keep us coming back for more.
