The Internet + me (and my dopamine addiction)... - Part 1

Growing up with the rise of the internet has to be one of the most iconic eras only one generation gets to claim is theirs, and I was a part of that generation. Starting out with playing outside with my limited imagination, to discovering the collaborating imaginations of the rest of the world at my fingertips completely opened up a surplus of opportunities and endless exploration. But also with it came a need to always "be discovering", searching, and eventually, scrolling... and scrolling... and scrolling some more. What once was an adventure and a blank canvas to lead to creation became a crutch to pass the time and occupy the silence. The opportunities to be with loved ones were surpassed to stare at the computer in my hands and many important moments were missed. We all find ourselves here. The internet changed our entire culture and the entire way that a human being experiences life. But how does it affect us individually? How does it affect our creativity? Our perceptions of ourselves and our professional approach to business? If you think it hasn't then you might be deceived. In part one of this two-part podcast, Cicily talks about her personal encounter with the internet and her own perspective on how it has affected her as she has grown up, explored her creativity and started a business. She provides insights to how she has attempted to manage and set boundaries around what she feels holds her back, while also being very vulnerable about how she hasn't perfected her management of doom scrolling.
