Today’s topic feels timely. We’re diving deep into how much the way we consume media has changed and how the comparison game has evolved as we’ve transitioned into the relentless digital media world of social media, AI, and 24/7 news.
Our guest brings a really unique perspective on all of this because she spent years inside the media world itself. Nicole Pence Becker is the owner and operator of Pence Media Group and an award-winning former news anchor, which means she has spent years not only understanding media — but living inside it.
Specifically this episode highlights:
Behavior shifts in media consumption
Social media content and the power of comparison
The influence of AI in media
Building a healthy relationship with social media

That’s why we didn’t want this to just be a cultural conversation. Listen in to understand what decades of dieting and food guilt actually do — not just emotionally, but physically.
