Have you ever looked at a tragedy on your screen and felt absolutely nothing? You aren’t heartless—you are likely suffering from "Digital Incarceration."

In this episode, I share a personal realization I had at JFK airport. While the world around me was moving, I saw the news that PnB Rock had been killed and realized I had become numb. I didn't cry. I wasn't shocked. I just kept scrolling. This led me down a path to figure out: How did we go from the "Cultural Pause" of the 90s—when the deaths of giants like Biggie and Tupac stopped the world—to an era where tragedy is just another pixel on a screen?

In this episode, we explore:

• The "Thick Glass" Feeling: Why viewing trauma on the same device where you watch dance challenges strips away the humanity of the victims.

• Compassion Fade: The psychological reason why your brain turns the volume down on grief just to survive the algorithm.

• The Juneteenth Wake-Up Call: The story of the Round Rock, Texas, tragedy and how it finally snapped me out of my numbness.

• The Science of the "Shutdown": Understanding the emergency freeze mode your nervous system enters when it's overloaded with digital trauma.

The 60-Second Challenge

How do we stop witnessing tragedy at an algorithm's speed? I’m sharing a simple 60-second rule you can start using today to rewire your brain and reclaim your empathy.
