You're scrolling along Facebook or Instagram and thinking WHY CAN'T THAT BE ME?  How are they so happy and successful amid all of . . . THIS?!
That's it. Your mood is ruined. 

According to the American Psychological Assocation, social media can negatively affect your self-esteem and trigger you into believing you are not good enough.

Today's special guest, Dr. Agatha Sylwia, author of The Shift: How to Become Everything You've Ever Wanted Without Giving Anything Up, specializes in how hormones and brain chemistry impact human behavior and the ability to make lasting changes. Dr. Agatha will discuss:

  • Why do we get stuck thinking things like "I'm not good enough" or "life isn't fair" when scrolling social media? 

  • What happens to your body chemistry when you feel envy or jealousy? 

  • How do you replace those negative thoughts with more positive feelings? Should you start by setting time limits on social media use?

  • How do our feel-good hormones help us build better habits, ultimately leading to a better life experience? 

  • What exactly is "The Shift" and how can this concept stop the victim mentality and help people live the life they want to live?

Dr. Agatha's personal story of intense struggle, loss, and self-discovery led her to identify a simple system to realize any dream, achieve a goal, or develop a new habit. She has studied extensively on how the human brain and related physiology impacts decision making, amd years learning about the influence and significance of brain chemistry in order to create long-lasting change .She holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery in Canada and has been in practice for 25 years.
