I loved this one. Alexis has spent over a decade inside marketing, media and PR, so she knows exactly how our attention gets engineered. And she’s honest enough to call herself a tech addict too. Her new book Real: Reconnecting to Yourself in a World of Likes and Lies is three years in the making, and it’s all about how social media messes with who we think we are, and how to take that back. If you’ve ever closed an app feeling worse about yourself, this one’s for you.


In this episode:

  • How attention is designed and what it does to our nervous system
  • What happens to your identity when it’s built on likes
  • Alexis’s own relationship with her phone
  • What social media means for kids and how parents can help
  • Whether being “authentic” online is just another performance
  • Simple ways to reconnect with the real you
