Breaking the Silence on Addiction, Zero Tolerance & Social Media’s Grip!

In a world where tough conversations are often avoided, Onward Shift brings them to the forefront. Hosted by Vishal Narbheram, this podcast is dedicated to shedding light on critical social issues, challenging the norms and inspiring change through raw, unfiltered discussions.

In this powerful episode, Vishal sits down with James from JT MOTIV, a passionate advocate for mental health and addiction recovery to take on the controversial topic of zero tolerance policies in workplaces. Should employees battling addiction be immediately dismissed or is there a better way to offer support and rehabilitation?

Through personal experiences and hard hitting insights, they explore the impact of workplace culture, the importance of second chances and how companies can shift from punishment to meaningful intervention.But the conversation doesn’t stop there. Vishal and James also tackle the ever growing influence of social media and how it fuels addiction, manipulates our attention and even alters our mental health. They discuss the addictive nature of constant notifications, the pressure of online validation and the fine line between using social platforms for good versus falling into the trap of endless scrolling. Can we break free from the cycle or has social media become the new silent addiction?

Whether you're an employer, an employee or someone struggling with mental health, addiction or digital overload, this episode is a must listen. Onward Shift isn’t just a podcast, it’s a movement for real talk, real awareness and real change.
