In a society where we’re constantly chasing connectivity, are we more alone than ever? In this episode, we discuss “The Hidden Addiction” that’s quietly taking over our lives—social media. From endless scrolling and dopamine-driven algorithms to digital fatigue and fractured focus, we explore how constant connectivity is silently sabotaging our productivity, relationships, and mental health. How it rewires our brains, and practical ways you can reclaim your attention and sanity from the grip of digital dependence.
