Make the music transform you, change your purify you. 

Ai and the internet in general are creating new dimensions at never seen speeds. But how do we come home, to our senses, to our authentic selves? Shake and feel and create... Notice 'the real world' around you. Nature. Breathe.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way" - Charles Dickens (A tale of two cities)

#36 – Dr. Jantz Discusses Breaking Free from Technology Addiction

We sat down this week with Jay Levin, President of EQuip Our Kids, to explore the transformative power of emotional intelligence training. As society grapples with rising stress, anxiety, and a digital landscape that both connects and isolates, he discusses how Equip Our Kids is paving a path to mental wellness for children and teens. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone invested in shaping a future where emotional intelligence is the cornerstone of education and personal development.

Most would agree our times are as tumultuous and unpredictable, as they are auspicious and potentiating. How we proceed in this era is ultimately a matter of choice and exploring the best ways forward. Over the last decade, mental health in among youth has been declining, in conjunction with increased levels of stress, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and depression. The pandemic years exacerbated feelings of isolation, loneliness, sadness and hopelessness among many youth globally. 

The prevalence of social media, cellphones, and digital addiction are impacting youth with greater access to national and global challenges whether it be: climate change, gun violence, racial injustice, gun violence or international or socioeconomic crises. According to a survey of tens of thousands of students conducted by University of Michigan researchers, 8th and 10th graders in 2021 spent an average of 3.5 hours daily on social media platforms. The Pew Center also reported that last year, 35% teens said they used social media “almost constantly.”  Poor sleep, sedentary, indoor lifestyles, peer pressure, cyberbullying, and diminishing in-person vs. virtual social connections are all impacting the mental health of today’s youth for better or worse. 

How can we nurture emotional intelligence skills that equips youth with adaptability in changing times, fortitude and wellness tools that foster their innate gifts and potential? Jay Levin, President of Equip Our Kids [https://equipourkids.org] joined us to talk about the potential and need for social emotional learning and nurturing emotional intelligence to create greater balance, resiliency and a deep sense of connectedness among youth of all ages.

Overcoming Dependency

In this episode of Beselfishly, Lilly dives deep into the often-uncomfortable topic of phone addiction. She openly shares her own experiences and explores the signs that you might be spending too much time on your phone, from phantom vibrations to the constant urge to check notifications. Lilly discusses the potential risks of excessive screen time on our mental health, emphasizing that this isn't a therapy session but a space for honest and relatable conversations. She encourages listeners to share their own phone-related struggles and confessions in the comments, fostering a sense of community and breaking the stigma around phone addiction.

Digital Detox: I'm Addicted To My Phone | Beselfishly

We don't smoke much anymore... but we still burn.
"Vapes" is a spoken word piece about how silence got replaced by screens, and cigarettes got traded for flavored fog.

It's not nostalgia – it's awareness.
It’s the realization that the rituals are gone,
but the ache remains.

“Virtual Temptation” by The Driftwood Saints

Virtual Temptation is a moody, modern rock track that explores the tension between digital fantasy and genuine human connection. Through vivid lyrics about glowing screens, filtered lives, and ghostly clarity, the song explores how social media lures us into cycles of distraction, desire, and loneliness.

The verses paint a stark picture of relationships reduced to pixels and fleeting notifications, while the chorus delivers a haunting refrain about disconnection and the emptiness of chasing digital approval. With its atmospheric instrumentation and emotionally charged vocals, Virtual Temptation captures the dissonance of living in a world where the lines between reality and illusion are constantly blurred.

It is both a cautionary tale and a raw confession — a song for an era where connection has never been easier, yet true intimacy feels further away than ever.

Virtual Temptations

The song is a sharp critique of the digital age and social media, showing how people lose authenticity, dignity, and identity while chasing empty validation.

For over 35 years, Dr. Gregory Jantz has been the “messenger of hope.” A go to media expert on mental health, substance abuse, and relationships, he is the best-selling author of over 40 books. He founded The Center • A Place of HOPE in Edmonds, Washington, voted a Top 10 Center for Depression Treatment in the U.S. 

Dr. Jantz’s podcast is insightful, uplifting, honest, and filled with helpful action items to all who want to live a more balanced, hopeful, and healthy lifestyle.

In our fast-paced, constantly connected world, it's easy to get caught up in the expectations and demands of others. We often put our own needs and desires on the back burner, believing that selflessness is the key to happiness and fulfillment. But what if we're wrong?
Beselfishly is a podcast that challenges the traditional notion of selfishness. We believe that prioritizing your own well-being is not only acceptable, but essential. When you take care of yourself, you're better equipped to take care of others. You're more resilient, more compassionate, and more able to make a positive impact on the world.
On Beselfishly, we'll explore what it means to be truly selfish in a positive way. We'll talk about how to set boundaries, how to say no, and how to cultivate a deep sense of self-worth. We'll also share practical tips and strategies for self-care, self-improvement, and personal growth. It's time to be "beselfishly you."

Just a guy who’s lived, learned, and found peace through music. I turn pain into purpose and try to make every song mean something real. My sound mixes pop, synthpop, and post punk— all from the heart. I’ve been blessed to reach people around the world, but what matters most is helping someone feel seen, strong, or healed through a song.

Creating music reminds me that hope never dies, love still wins, and we’re all finding our way.

Every song I make comes from real life—love, struggle, and finding peace. If my music has ever helped you through something, your support means the world and keeps me creating from the heart. ❤️

Thank you to all of you who liked, followed, commented, and re-posted in the past. It is sincerely appreciated.

I am a music producer, lyricist and composer. I have been doing this since 2012. People from all over the world make the sounds used in my music, and at times I'll use A.I.for specific vocals. I write the lyrics, compose the music, and provide the production; I'll hire professionals for the specific instruments I need and pull them all together to make the final production I want.

I love making music, and many productions are for specific moods or atmospheres I am trying to create.

I hope you find my productions soothing, calming, relaxing, and energetic to help move your body to the rhythm and beat of the music. I wish you all the best.
