Something in social media that I like and find particularly interesting is a podcast called ‘Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast.’ I listen to a wide range of podcasts at night because I find that they help me wind down before bed. This podcast in particular is my go-to whenever they post a new episode, because I find that it helps me with motivation to keep a healthy lifestyle. In the podcast, they discuss topics such as: daily nutrition tips, tips for an effective workout, and tips for keeping motivated in your daily lifestyle. 

What I like the most about this podcast is its ability to refresh my mindset in terms of motivation before I go to bed so that I wake up the next morning in a good headspace. I also like how it helps to slow my thoughts down before bed and helps me to relax and fall asleep quickly. I believe that the tips and information that this podcast discusses are a lot more effective to listen to in order to relax rather than scrolling through social media platforms that could keep me entertained for hours. 

Here is a link to the most recent episode posted on the podcast:

    Hi Samantha, I really enjoyed listening to the link you provided. I completely agree when you discuss motivation, as podcasts like these provide listeners with encouragement and support. Your experience with the 'Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast' is a great example of how podcasts can be effective tools for relaxation and self-improvement. The positive impact that this content can have on people's lives represents so much more than simple entertainment.

    Hi Samantha! As a podcast lover and gym rat, I love to combine these interests and find a podcast that is perfect for healthy lifestyles. I will be listening to it, as wellness and health are my top priorities for the new year, and I needed some good treadmill content to listen to. Podcasts are so great for multitasking! Thank you for introducing me to this!

    Hi Samantha,
    Your post is really interesting! I've never been much of a podcast person since I struggle to just sit and listen to a disembodied voice, but I like your comment that it helps you unwind and relax at the end of the day. I do agree that this would be a better practice than staring at a screen right before bed. I think this could be a really good way for me to integrate podcasts into my own routine. As someone who also highly values health and wellness, I think this kind of podcast and listening practice could help me express and achieve these values as you said it helps you. I'm always looking for new ways to streamline my wellness routine, and I think the 'technology' of the 'Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast' as well as this kind of listening ritual could be really conducive to that end. Thank you for the recommendation!

  There is a Spotify playlist called “Homegrown” which I listen to very often because of the amount of artists and their songs that are included in it. I am a big fan of country music and the playlist contains many of the artists that I enjoy, such as Sam Barber, Zach Bryan, Josh Meloy, etc. This playlist has a variety of different types of songs that I would listen to while completing many tasks throughout the day. I like to listen to a pretty wide range of songs and “Homegrown” is a great playlist for that. I know many people here do not listen to country music, but if so, I really recommend this playlist!

      In the movie Eighth grade it follows a young girl by the name of Kayla who is having a hard time not only fitting in with her peers at school, but also has trouble fitting in online as well. Kayla demonstrates a high degree of social anxiety, and it is very evident she just wants people to like her. Kayla, with limited people to talk too and virtually no friends, leans on creating YouTube videos in order to connect with others. Kayla's videos consist of her providing advice to her viewers, such as how to always be confident, and tips on how to socialize to others, things that she has no real experience in. These videos give Kayla a way to connect to not only her peers but other people around the world, and also give her something to feel good about as she's helping others. Kayla also adds to her anxiety by constantly scrolling though social media, and ignoring things such as her father trying to talk to her. Scrolling through social media has Kayla compar...

  I have always taken interest in other people's lifestyles and why and how they and how they have accepted to live a certain way.  Recently I have found out about this  YouTube creator by the name of Tyler Oliveria.  Tyler goes to these places where there are a lot of issues and documents as well as interviews the people that live in these communities.  Tyler gives insights but also figures out why things are the way they are from the people that live in the unfortunate situations.  I have always found this kind of content interesting because I wondered why people live certain ways  but through the content I have realized that it is not always a choice and people get put into bad situations.  The link to his YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/@TylerOliveira where you can watch and find his videos.
