007 Feeding the Beast, Saving your Sanity with Andrew Orolfo

This episode delves into the intersection of mental health and social media.

Cool guy comedian Andrew Orolfo shares his personal experiences with the pressures of maintaining an online presence, especially as someone who pursued comedy for the love of it. He came into this work to write jokes and perform them, not to edit reels and monitor engagement.

Hosted by therapist Alicia Racine Fink, the conversation gets into how overwhelming it can feel to keep up with the algorithm, the toll it can take on mental well-being, and how Andrew’s learned to handle online feedback with humor and resilience.

The episode also touches on therapy, emotional growth, and how parents can help protect kids from the chaos of the internet. It’s a laid-back conversation with signature chill vibes—just like Andrew.

We cover how social media messes with your brain, what it means to clap back without losing yourself, and we end again with why therapy is the biggest take-home point.
