Episode #193: When Social Media Becomes Your Enemy — Dr. Trish Leigh

from Dr. Trish Leigh Podcast · host Dr. Trish Leigh

You think you’re just catching up—but suddenly your chest tightens, your breath shortens, and your brain whispers, “You’re not enough.” That’s not a lack of discipline. It’s a nervous system hijack. 🧠Every scroll trains your brain to crave stimulation instead of stillness and comparison instead of contentment. This is the digital envy loop—a dopamine-driven trap that floods you with pleasure and shame all at once, leaving you restless, anxious, and disconnected from your true worth.But here’s the truth: you’re not broken. Your brain has just been baited. You can rewire it—pause before you scroll, rebuild real reward through creation, and reclaim stillness as your superpower. 🌿Stay here with me in this podcast episode as I show you how to take your power back from the algorithm and reconnect with your sacred self.And if you want deeper help retraining your brain from overstimulation, I can help you—visit drtrishleigh.com.Send us Fan MailSupport the showHi.
