Welcome to today's episode! I am so pumped about this episode, I talk all about breaking social media addiction and that constant phone scroll. I’ll also share the learnings of the Rat Park study by Dr. Bruce Alexander and what it teaches us about how our environment and connections impact addiction.
I’ll give you some practical tips to cut down on social media and start creating your own ‘Rat Park’ - a life full of connection and limit compulsive behaviours.

0:00.0 | Hello, beautiful people and welcome to the podcast episode of today. |
0:16.1 | So this is, hopefully it should be a very, very good episode because this is the second fucking time I'm |
0:23.4 | recording this thing because the audio was just having an absolute meltdown. |
