Companion to Episode 24 of The Summer Sovereignty Series on Sip Tea with Me (Podcast)
By Lisa Schoenthal | Transformational Guide & Authenticity Advocate
🔥 Ever feel like your phone knows you better than you know yourself?
That’s not intuition—it’s intentioned manipulation.
From algorithms to dating apps, the digital world has been designed not just to serve us—but to steer us. Steer how we think, what we feel, and what we fear. And it’s time we wake up.
This episode of The Summer Sovereignty Series is your digital detox with a side of soul fire.
💡 What We Talk About:
What digital sovereignty actually is—and why it’s essential for your power and peace
How algorithms feed your insecurities to drive profit (and keep you looping)
Why curated content creates imposter syndrome and disconnection
Dating apps: dopamine traps dressed up as connection tools
How tech is intentionally designed to divide, distract, and disempower
And most importantly—how to take your power back.
💥 Mic Drop Moments:
"You are not the customer—you are the content."
"When you're distracted, you're not dangerous."
"The more you trust yourself, the harder you are to control."
🔁 Let's Talk About Dating Apps...
You thought we were just gonna scroll past that? Not a chance.
In this episode, I opened up about how dating apps—though convenient—have hijacked our sense of intuition, worth, and connection. They’ve turned courtship into content, gamified human emotion, and made ghosting a standard move.
The apps are designed to keep you in them—not fulfilled by them.
And while I touch on it briefly in this episode, you better believe we’ll be unpacking the full truth in a future deep dive. Stay tuned.
🧘 Grounding Practice from the Episode:
Take a moment.
Put your phone down.Close your eyes.Place one hand on your heart, the other on your belly.
Breathe.Repeat:
“My attention is mine. My energy is mine. I choose where I focus, and I focus on what sets me free.”
✍️ 3 Action Items to Reclaim Your Digital Power:
Audit your feed. If it makes you feel less than, mute it, block it, unfollow it.
Practice mindful tech use. Try a 24-hour social break or remove one app this week.
Create more than you consume. Write, dance, record, connect. Remember: you are a creator.
🌟 3 Affirmations to Lock It In:
“My energy is sacred, and I direct it intentionally.”“I am not a product—I am a powerful, present being.”“Each moment I reclaim my attention, I strengthen my sovereignty.”
👀 A Sneak Peek at Next Week:
So you’re unplugging from the digital noise…But what about the messages you’ve absorbed about your own body?The ones that told you you needed fixing, taming, controlling—That your own instincts couldn’t be trusted?
You were never broken.And next week, we’re reclaiming your body, your intuition, and your unapologetic power from the inside out.
This isn’t just about health.It’s about sovereignty—the kind that starts in your cells and radiates into every choice you make.
