TikTok: The Hard Reset - Better Said Than Written

What this episode covers

This episode I’m doing something a little different. There is no excerpt from a book, poem, essay or quote. Instead, I just want to talk about TikTok and its coming and going. The on again off again situationship of TikTok between the U.S. government and China, gave me enough time to flip the switch to pursue my goals before I downloaded the app and got sucked into the doom scroll portal club. I have no regrets about the time I wasted on the app. The app taught me so much including: * How to use a rice cooker for other things besides cooking rice * How to kick my fashion up a notch without breaking the bank * How to make a prime rib roast * How to take what resonates from the tarot card readers * The best financial institutions to open a High Yield Savings Account * How to wear a bold red lip with confidence * Perimenopause symptoms ←this helped me not to go crazy * How to deal with toxic situations in the workplace The app also gave me breaking news before the other news outlets: * The collapse of the bridge in Baltimore * All things taking place in Gaza * Kendrick Lamar’s GNX Album * Kendrick vs Drake ← The commentary from TikTokers were deep * 2025 L.A. Fires * Food recalls * P Diddy’s arrest * TikTok going dark in the U.S. Despite everything I’ve learned, the short blackout of TikTok allowed me just enough time to hit the reset button and get back to what I was doing before I downloaded the app. — Want to connect? https://www.tamikacody.com/contact Want to take part in the Story of Survival series?

Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
