Ep. 42 | Protect Your Mental

About this episode

The episode explores the dual impact of social media on mental health and community engagement.

Social media is one of the most powerful tools of our time, but is it helping us or hurting us? In this episode, we break down the double-edged sword of life online. From the negative side—mental health struggles, false validation, misinformation, and distorted realities—to the positive side—building community, sparking creativity, spreading knowledge, and bringing entertainment and joy—we cover it all. Join us as we unpack how social media shapes the way we think, feel, and connect in today’s world. 7pmInPhillyPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/7pminphillypodcast TikTok: https://www.TikTok.com/@7pminphillypodcast Co Host: Dwuan Gandy II Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwuan.gandyii/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwuan.gandyii Beer: twolocals https://www.instagram.com/twolocals/
