About this episode

Lara and Angie discuss the effects of social media content on mental health and self-perception, introducing the concept of 'post content clarity'.

#129: Inspired by a concept from Chris Williamson’s Modern Wisdom podcast, Lara and Angie explore something they haven’t stopped thinking about lately, “post content clarity.” How does the content someone consumes actually make them feel after it’s over? Just because something is compelling, doesn’t mean it’s good for them. In this episode, Lara and Angie unpack how social media, TikTok, podcasts, YouTube, influencer culture and constant online consumption are quietly shaping the way girls think, feel, compare themselves, view success, relationships, beauty, confidence and even reality itself. They discuss: • the concept of “post content clarity” • why some content leaves people feeling inspired while other content leaves them anxious, cynical or emotionally flat • hate-following, doom scrolling and “scroll holes” • the attention economy and why feeds are designed to hijack attention • why a content diet matters just as much as an actual diet • how certain creators affect the nervous system and self-worth • curating a feed that genuinely improves real life • protecting energy online without disconnecting from culture DM us your burning questions!
