How To Stay Informed Without Spiraling with Jessica Yellin

from Circle This · host Good Mess Media

In this episode, Dre sits down with journalist and News Not Noise founder Jessica Yellin for a conversation about how to stay informed without losing yourself in the process.       From her time as Chief White House Correspondent at CNN to now speaking directly to millions from her living room, Jessica shares the real story behind her evolution and the isolation, pressure, and purpose that came with it.  They get into the real impact of the 24/7 news cycle on the body, the mind, and the nervous system and why so many of us feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure what's even true anymore.       Jessica shares her concept of a "news diet," how algorithms are shaping our reality, and why uncertainty isn't failure, it's part of being awake in a complex world.       Together, they unpack:   -why "heart-centered news" is a radical shift   -how to build a news diet that supports your nervous system   -why local connection—not more information—may be the real antidote to the loneliness epidemic       Jessica offers a powerful reminder: you don't need to know everything in real time—but you do get to choose how you engage.       Follow: @JessicaYellin Substack: https://newsnotnoisejessicayellin.substack.com/ Learn More At:  https://newsnotnoise.com/     --       Stay connected with the Circle This team: @andreabendewald @circlethispodcast @emkratter @talkwithtrace @goodmessmedia
