We just can’t have nice things anymore can we?
A few years ago, I could lie in bed, filter out his brain crushing, roaring apnea and go deep in the scroll.
Bury my anxieties and shut down the overthink. Did I sound mardy on that email about the swan charity? Yes. But forget it, here’s a dog crashing a scooter.
“School run road rage got you fuming? Bank account empty because you bought an avocado? Simply rebalance your life. It’s this easy.”
But that was then and this is now. And now it is not good. The scroll is now a deep, dark hole; the algo gone ga-ga.
The gurus and grifters are running the show
Looking for something to kick-start your day? Why not out push-up a 16-year-old boy in a sales seminar? Because that’s truly powerful energy, right?

Need a pick me up? School run road rage got you fuming? Bank account empty because you bought an avocado? Simply rebalance your life. It’s this easy, she said so.
Something tells me we’ll need to harness these power vibes to turn around our sad little lives.
Girlbossing it
How else are we going to go on holidays and feed alpacas at breakfast? That’s right. According to the algo, I’m not #girlbossing enough.

I need to commit. Make sacrifices.
Your birthday? Sorry, no can do. I’m too busy….
“My advice? Sort the real deals from the binfluencers. Sadly, not every wellness guru is your friend.”
My hot tips?
Read reputable. And that can mean keeping it a bit more legacy media, where you’ll find stuff that’s had more checks and balances than out in the social wild west.
Listen smart. You’re never more than a few scrolls from a podcast, with potentially disastrous impacts for your gym vibes. Sadly, not every wellness guru is your friend. Look for well-rated and reviewed pods so you can sort the real deals from the binfluencers.
Shrink your screentime. Easier said than done, but doable. Hilariously you can download an app to help. I’d recommend Opal.
Good luck killing the noise.
