I’ve said it. Maybe you’ve said it. “Social media is exhausting.”

But after taking a real job in a real office with real live people again, I’ve been reminded what actual connection feels like: hearing someone’s tone, reading their face, actually laughing out loud instead of typing LOL.

Online, we all just become pixels and opinions.

It’s pretty easy to act like you’ve got the answers when you’re typing words out for a screen. It’s harder when you’re standing in front of a real person sharing space, air, and all the awkward pauses that come with it.

This episode isn’t some call to disconnect completely. It’s about talking through what we’ve forgotten, like how to listen, how to disagree without destroying, and most importantly, how to use the internet the way it should be used: to bless people, not brand ourselves.
