Social media shapes how we communicate, how we think, and how we see one another—for better and for worse. In this episode of The Neighborhood Podcast, Steven Yates is joined by Michael Yates, a mental health professional with decades of experience, to talk honestly about the benefits and dangers of social media. Together, they explore its impact on relationships, mental health, public discourse, and personal responsibility, and discuss how we can engage these platforms thoughtfully without letting them shape us in unhealthy ways.
