Can self-reflection turn a quick-to-anger fighter into a master of conflict resolution? Join Noel and Lena in this thought-provoking episode of Let That Shift Go as they share their personal journeys with the new Amusing deck of Skin Deep cards. Noel opens up about his transformation from someone quick to flare-up to a more measured and reflective individual, while Lina stresses the essential practice of introspection to understand our roles in conflicts. The discussion moves towards the empathetic approach of seeing things from others’ viewpoints and the power of empathy in easing tensions.
Triggered by listener Daniela's idea, we dive into the captivating topic of "Blinded by the Shimmer," examining how social media comparisons can fuel depression and anxiety. Drawing insights from Eric Godsey and statistics from Jonathan Haidt's "The Anxious Generation," we discuss the rise in mental health issues among teens and young adults since 2010. The conversation turns serious as we highlight the emotional toll of constant digital exposure and the critical need to equip youth with self-regulation and coping skills. This episode underscores the dual importance of parental guidance and self-exploration in building a healthier relationship with digital media.
