Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, we riff on some of the biggest ideas shaping the way we think, behave, and make decisions, and see where the conversation takes us. We dig into the manipulative side of social media, how constant exposure to other people's opinions can lower our standards, and why it's important to understand why you believe what you believe. We also explore the real-life consequences of spending too much time online, why you can't win an argument with the internet, and the idea that you ultimately get what you choose. This is a conversation about becoming more intentional with what you consume, what you pursue, and who you're becoming in the process.We talk about:-the manipulative aspect of social media-lowering the bar-knowing why you believe what you believe-real life consequences of social media-you get what you chooseTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction3:00 how social media shapes your thoughts10:45 you can’t win an internet argument14:45 bots on social media17:15 understanding what you find fulfilling23:10 research on lottery winners & cancer survivors26:40 becoming through achievingCONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV:Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzBGet our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.
