Social Media Isn’t the Villain - We’re Just Using It Wrong

We grew up being told television would rot our brains. Now TV is just background noise — a tool we use when we need it. Social media is going through the same cycle, but instead of learning how to use it with intention, most of us are stuck in doom‑scrolling habits that drain our time, our focus, and our joy. In this episode of Carmen Talk, I’m breaking down how I changed my own relationship with my phone and social media — from keeping my phone out of my hand, to setting real boundaries, to curating my algorithm with purpose. We talk about habits, digital wellness, and why intentional use matters more than ever. If you’re ready to rethink how you show up online (and maybe laugh a little along the way), this one’s for you. As always, it really is All About The Joy.
