Media Overload: Digital Detox & Real Relationships with Blaklee Ramsey

Social media addiction is real, and it's affecting our lives more than we realize. But what if we could harness its power for good (or even for God)? This episode dives deep into the world of social media with Blaklee Ramsey, host of the Elevated Edit Podcast. Here are 3 key takeaways from the conversation: The Double-Edged Sword: Social media can be both a blessing and a curse. We explore how to strike the right balance. Mindful Consumption: Learn strategies to curate your feed and set boundaries for healthier social media use. Positive Connections: Discover how social media can be a powerful tool for building meaningful relationships and spreading positivity. Blaklee shares her personal journey from social media burnout to finding purpose and connection online. Her insights offer a fresh perspective on navigating the digital landscape that'll make you rethink your scrolling habits.  Craig kicks things off with a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about their working together at Foghorns Wings near the University of Arkansas. It's all laughs and "remember whens" until... BAM! We're thrust into the present, where TikTok reigns supreme and dopamine hits come faster than you can say "swipe up."  So, are you ready to laugh, learn, and maybe rethink your relationship with that little device in your pocket?
