Ep. 23 | What Social Media Is Doing to Our Bodies, Minds, and Self Worth

In this episode of The Aya Way™ Podcast, Dr. Malaika explores what social media is doing to our bodies, minds, and sense of self worth in a culture shaped by comparison, constant scrolling, and digital overwhelm. Anchored in The Body, The Mirror, and The Disruption, this conversation examines how online life affects the nervous system, distorts self-perception, and keeps embodied stress active beneath the surface. As public debate grows around youth social media bans, age checking laws, and the emotional toll of digital life, this episode offers language for what so many people are feeling but may not know how to name. Listeners are invited to reflect on attention, comparison culture, body image, and the deeper work of returning to themselves with more honesty, compassion, and care.Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.Get the Book: Rooted in Resilience: A Journey to Collective HealingStay Connected:Substack: https://theayaway.substack.comSpeakPipe voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/TheAyaWay
