What time of day do you scroll the most? Have you tried setting limits on your screen time? Today, Jay dives into one of the defining questions of our digital age: is the algorithm shaping who we become, or are we the ones quietly teaching it how to shape us? He reveals how every click, pause, and late-night scroll acts as a subtle signal, tiny instructions that train the system, which then turns around and begins to train us. Before we even realize it, our insecurities become fuel, our curiosity becomes comparison, and outrage becomes entertainment. But Jay also reminds us that we&rsquo;re not powerless, our agency hasn&rsquo;t disappeared; it&rsquo;s just buried beneath layers of habit. With calm, practical guidance, he shares how we can take our feed back into our own hands, break the doom-scroll cycle, and actually reprogram the digital environment influencing our minds. Whether it&rsquo;s choosing who you follow more intentionally, setting healthy boundaries in the morning, sharing more consciously, or reconnecting with real-world anchors, Jay shows that we&rsquo;re not just participants, we&rsquo;re contributors to how the system works. And when we change how we show up, everything around us begins to shift as well. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Retrain Your Algorithm in Minutes How to Recognize When the Algorithm Is Steering You How to Build a Healthier, Calmer Feed How to Use Social Media Without Losing Yourself How to Strengthen Your Digital Self-Control You weren&rsquo;t meant to be overwhelmed by noise or pulled into constant comparison.
