I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin. And I just, like, really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Remember when the internet felt fun? That noise you associate with getting online back in the day, that dial-up modem noise?

That was like my cry of freedom. I can still hear my mom screaming at the top of the stairs. Get off the dang computer. I'm trying to make a call. But that really was it for me. It was freedom. Remember when getting online felt like freedom, community. and connection. Instead of feeling like a slog that you wish you could quit but feel like you can't,

how did we get here? I'm Bridget Todd, and since 2020, I've been answering questions like these on my award-winning tech and culture podcast. There are no girls on the internet. And I heart radio podcast that chronicles technology, the internet, and social media that actually centers the diverse artists, creators, researchers, and advocates who are building better, brighter digital futures. We're talking about technology and social media's impact on culture from influencer-fueled fast fashion. This system of fast fashion wouldn't exist without influencers. To the polarized, often toxic online discourse that's wrecking all of our mental health and threatening our democracy. One of the most destructive things that TikTok specifically has groomed people into doing is viewing political content as solely through the lens of those like clapback.

videos that lots of people do, right? The internet is not just created by coders and tech companies. It's created by all of us who use it every day. It can and should be a force that connects us. So why does it feel so toxic? And who benefits from the hate and mistrust that are rampant on social media? I created there are no girls on the internet because the internet belongs to everyone, all of us.

And I wanted to spotlight the creative women, black folks, queer folks and others who are creating and building at the forefront of the internet to make that shared promise a reality for all of us. Our fifth season is launching in May 2025. Listen, I don't need to tell any of you that there are some big changes happening in our world right now. And we need an internet that helps us face them together. So I hope you'll join me and my guests on There Are No Girls on the Internet

as we explore where tech went wrong, where it went right, and how we can build a better, brighter internet for everyone. I think it'll be a good time and we'll find connection like we haven't in a long time.

Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program.
