Hello, my good people! Question for you:  Do you know what's trending right now? What about what was trending yesterday? If you do, you must be EXHAUSTED!!  As the gossip wheel churns out story after story and the new fade replaces the old faster than the Sun can rise anew, keeping up with it all can be a full time job (and some)!  It begs to ask; what effect does the constant pursuit of "trend chasing" have on an individual?

On today's episode, we discuss:
- what the word "trending" means and its true utility on social media 
- why keeping up is so difficult 
- how much time and energy is wasted and/or misapplied 
- how one's self esteem can be affected when they feel "left out"
- how it could actually become addictive 
- how your time and energy could be better utilized 

As we emphasized, it's not to say that it's a crime to "be in the know" but we hope that people will be aware of these precious and finite resources (time and energy) and utilize them in a way that best service them in ways that TRULY MATTER!! Thx for tuning in!

If you find our content enlightening, PLEASE take a quick moment to rate and review the show! It will help us SO MUCH to reach the next human.

Also, If you'd like to support our cause, we don't need much.... you can just buy us a coffee!
