3.10 Is the News Ruining Our Lives? (Or Are We Consuming The Wrong Things?!)

from Before You Cut Bangs · host Laura Quick and Claire Fierman

Join Laura and Claire as they navigate the weight of the modern 24-hour news cycle without falling into the "doomscroll" trap. By blending mental health boundaries with sharp media literacy, we explore how to verify what’s real, avoid AI-generated outrage, and protect your nervous system from the rise of nightly digital trauma.Stop letting global crisis paralyze your local impact. We make the case for "going analog"—transforming news-induced helplessness into momentum through food banks, neighborly service, and concrete action. It’s time for a saner news diet that allows you to stay informed, set firm limits, and show up steadier for the people who need you most.
