How Doomscrolling Is Quietly Breaking Your Confidence (Affirmations vs Algorithms)

First off, quick apology, the audio might sound a bit off today. I had a chest complication while recording, but I still wanted to show up regardless.

Now, today's episode is also about mirrors, but not the one in your bathroom, but the one glowing in your hand: social media.

We’re unpacking how doomscrolling slowly dents your self-esteem, how comparison sneaks in dressed as motivation, and why maybe your affirmations aren’t the problem — your reflection is.

Highlights:

• The internet is not your mirror.
• You’re probably not insecure; you’re just online too much.
• Social media gaslit your self-esteem, and you didn’t even notice.
• Maybe it’s not affirmations you need, just a break from the feed.
