SOCIAL MEDIA IS FAKE

Mafe Anzures
About this episode

From “perfect” bodies to luxurious lifestyles, social media can make it feel like everyone else is living a dream life, except you. But what if that dream is just a well-lit illusion? In this episode, we’re exposing the truth behind the filters, the fakeness, and the constant comparison that’s silently stealing your peace.

We dive deep into how curated content messes with your brain, why you feel addicted to scrolling, and how to finally break the cycle. If you’ve ever felt less than after opening your favorite app, this one’s for you. Tune in for a reality check, some science-backed insights, and simple ways to take back your power. Your worth is not measured in likes, and this episode will help you remember that.

With love, Mafe.
