We’ve all been there—you pick up your phone to scroll for “just five minutes”… and suddenly it’s an hour later, your mood has tanked, and you’re still stuck in the endless feed. That’s doomscrolling, besties—and it’s not just stealing our time, it’s messing with our minds, our moods, and even our sleep.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why doomscrolling feels so addictive (hello, dopamine hits and negativity bias), the hidden toll it takes on our mental and physical health, and—most importantly—real, doable steps you can take to break the cycle. From screen time hacks to swapping in healthier habits, we’re keeping it raw, relatable, and a little bit fun—because you’re not in this alone.

So if you’ve been wanting to reclaim your peace (and your bedtime), this episode is for you. Press play, grab a cozy drink, and let’s talk about how to scroll less and live more.

Charlie Kirk — a name that’s ignited a firestorm across social media. In the wake of his assassination, the internet has exploded with polarizing opinions. Some are mourning him as a bold and passionate voice, while others are expressing nothing but outrage or disdain. The divide is sharp, and the flood of posts reflects just how deeply people felt about him — for better or worse. As headlines swirl and social platforms become more toxic by the day, one question rises to the surface: Why does he spark such strong reactions in the first place?

In this bonus episode, the Besties take a neutral and reflective approach to the viral news surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Rather than focusing on divisive opinions, the conversation centers around emotional awareness, the speed of online reactions, and how people often jump to conclusions without processing fully. We explore and ask whether it’s possible to admire someone's discipline and accomplishments without agreeing with their views. We set out to reinforce the idea that shared values can exist across ideological lines.

This episode also offers thoughtful strategies for coping with news-induced anxiety, like setting limits around social media and shifting from outrage to action. Emphasis is placed on maintaining respectful relationships with people who hold different beliefs by practicing empathy, asking questions, and honoring boundaries. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to lead with humanity and remember that disagreement doesn’t have to cancel connection or respect.
