Mike & Manny look into one of the larger aspects of self care, that being, the internet and social media. While it serves as a source of torment for many, it also works to bring many people closer together. One of the biggest hurdles is avoiding a doom spiral, or feeding into the negativity, when knowing about every bad thing that happens in real time, is a possible daily occurrence. How do we work on better online self-care?

Aaron confirms there are no cops at the corner of Nostalgia and Reality before throwing a turd into the conversation this week.
