How to Stop Doomscrolling (and live your courageous life)

Doomscrolling isn't just a willpower problem. It's a behavior that makes complete sense once you understand what it's actually doing and why your brain keeps reaching for it even when you know it's making you feel worse.

This episode is about how to stop doomscrolling, because for so many of it's compulsive and erodes time that we'd otherwise spend on things that help us to live our courageous lives. But we're going to do it not by suffering through a digital detox, but by understanding what the scroll is actually trying to give you and finding something that genuinely meets that need instead.

If you've ever put your phone down only to pick it up again thirty seconds later — if you've ever emerged from a scrolling session feeling worse than when you started but unable to explain why you started in the first place — this episode will give you both the understanding and the tools to change that pattern.

The news will still be there. You get to decide how much of yourself it gets.
