In this conversation, TK Coleman breaks down why scrolling (not social media itself) is quietly reshaping our attention, creativity, and sense of purpose—and how to reclaim your life with simple, repeatable practices that reconnect you to your body, your curiosity, and what matters most.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why “scrolling is the new smoking” and how it shifts us from searching with intention to dopamine-driven scrolling
• How to speak truth in a way that calls people forward, not calls them out
• The difference between fighting for someone vs. fighting with them (and why it changes everything)
• A clearer way to approach “purpose” that’s bigger than your job or career
• How to follow curiosity like a “dating process” (small experiments → clarity over time)
• Why boredom is a gift—and how it invites you to expand your awareness instead of escaping it
• Practices to rebuild attention: walks, quiet time, art, music, and presence (even 15 minutes at a time)

Decluttering tips are everywhere… but why do we keep returning to the same patterns? In this episode of The Rising, Janel interviews TK Coleman of The Minimalists to unpack the deeper layer: emotional clutter—the feelings and beliefs underneath the mess.

This episode is for anyone who wants simplicity, peace, and freedom… but feels blocked by anxiety, old narratives, or the pressure to “get it right.”

You’ll learn:
• Why your relationship to “stuff” is tied to identity, fear, and memory
• How to shift from shame-based change to sustainable change
• What to do when you’re growing… but people around you aren’t
• The power of validation + curiosity to help others move forward
• Why “truth hurts” can also become “truth heals”
