In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on how social media shapes our real-world connections, often in unexpected ways. We explore how scrolling and swiping can create a false sense of closeness, leaving us feeling more isolated than connected. From the awkwardness of face-to-face interactions to the pressure to “perform” online, we dig into how social platforms might be holding us back from authentic, fulfilling relationships. Tune in as we share stories, insights, and ideas on finding balance between the digital and real world connections.

Why Do Some People Lack Self Awareness? How Our Lenses Impact Communication And Relationships

People lack self-awareness. It's just a fact. How can we become more self-aware and improve our communication? In this episode, we explore the crucial role self-awareness plays in how we communicate. Everyone interprets the world through their own unique lens, shaped by individual experiences and perspectives, which can sometimes limit our ability to truly connect with others. It's often not until we're placed in new or uncomfortable environments that we’re challenged to see things differently, pushing us to reflect and question how self-aware we really are. Join us as we discuss how increasing self-awareness can deepen our understanding, enhance relationships, and transform how we communicate with those around us.
