About this episode
The news can inform you, but it can also consume you.
When every headline feels urgent, it becomes easy to confuse staying informed with constantly checking, scrolling, reacting, and worrying. Research has linked heavier news consumption—particularly through social media—with greater emotional distress, especially during periods of uncertainty.
This episode is about learning to receive information without letting it take over your mind. You can care about what happens in the world without carrying every headline with you.
When you check the news, are you becoming informed—or simply becoming more anxious?
