Episode 78: Healthy Hits of Happiness: Creating Your Own Dopamine Menu

from Spilt: A Podcast with Charlene and Tonya · host Tonya and Charlene

In this creative and eye-opening episode of Spilt, Charlene and Tonya unpack what endless doomscrolling, binge-watching, and overstimulation do to our brains. Using a playful “restaurant menu” metaphor, they introduce the Dopamine Menu—a way to replace cheap, quick dopamine hits with soul-nourishing activities that create lasting joy. From art to hobbies, movement to mindfulness, they explore healthier ways to care for our minds and reclaim balance. This episode is part science, part story, and fully rooted in the Rooted and Real theme of Season 5.Email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mailto:[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ if you have comments, questions, or ideas about future episodes.
