Episode Description from the Publisher

Episode 147: We live in a world where almost every moment can be documented, shared, and judged in real time. But somewhere along the way, a lot of us stopped just living our lives and started performing them instead.In this episode, we dig into why we really post — validation vs. genuine sharing, and how likes quietly shape our behavior without us noticing. We talk about the difference between creating and performing, and how that shows up on vacations, at concerts, over dinner, even mid-workout. We also give social media its due — the businesses it's built, the communities it's connected, the families it's reunited when used with intention.
