Healthy Mind, Happy Soul Podcast: Scrolling, Stress & Self-Esteem: Finding Balance in a Digital World
Brock Carter, MMS, PA-C
Technology has transformed how we communicate, work, learn, and connect—but it has also changed the way we experience stress, comparison, attention, and emotional wellbeing.
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Happy Soul, Brock Carter, PA-C welcomes psychiatric physician assistant Callie Kundert, PA-C, for an honest conversation about social media, smartphones, and the impact of constant connectivity on mental health.

They also discuss the unique challenges facing children and teenagers growing up in a digital-first world, including cyberbullying, peer pressure, and the struggle to disconnect.
Importantly, this episode does not frame technology as the enemy. Instead, it highlights both the risks and benefits of digital life, offering practical strategies for creating healthier boundaries, using social media more intentionally, and developing habits that support long-term wellbeing.
