My average per week is about hours, hours and minutes per day. When I was in rehab, I didn't have my phone in my possession for Almost Months, and when I got out and they handed me the plastic bag with my phone in it, I was excited to see what I'd missed.
Ever wondered how the internet impacts our emotional health? This episode of 'Really Good Shares' dives into that very topic. Host A.J. Daulerio chats with journalist Karen Ho, famously known as 'The Doomscroll Lady', about the surreal nature of her Twitter fame and the pressures that come with it. Karen opens up about her struggles with social media, the shame it sometimes brings, and the constant battle to stay authentic online.
She reflects on her early internet days and how she’s never truly allowed her real self to shine through her online persona. A.J. shares his own two-decade-long struggle with emotional sobriety and the internet, recounting how he’s periodically deleted social media apps to escape the digital chaos. This episode isn’t just about doomscrolling and online shame; it’s a candid look at how our virtual lives affect our mental health.
The conversation is raw and relatable, encouraging listeners to take a hard look at their own online habits. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by social media or questioned your online authenticity, this episode offers a refreshing perspective.
