Unmasking Media's Influence: How Social Media Shapes Our Perception of Success with DeAn Dre | EP 36

In Episode 37 we sit down with DeAn, the host of the podcast "Adulting Horror Stories," who created the show to address the challenges and failures faced by people in their journey of adulting. He believes that the media often portrays young people as failing to meet societal markers of adulthood, creating a sense of inadequacy. DeAn's goal is to let people know they are not alone in facing these challenges and to provide a platform for sharing and learning from others' experiences. His podcast covers a wide range of topics, from lighthearted dating horror stories to more serious subjects like dealing with loss and navigating legal processes. DeAn aims to provide informative and comedic content, often inviting guests with expertise to share their stories. He acknowledges the impact of media, particularly social media, in distorting perceptions of success and creating unrealistic comparisons. DeAn also shares his personal motivation for starting the podcast, which stemmed from his interest in voice acting and the desire to have his voice heard. He discusses the struggles he has faced in his own life, including financial difficulties and strained relationships, emphasizing the importance of resilience and finding solutions to overcome challenges. DeAn offers advice on taking care of oneself, understanding others' perspectives, and taking action to fulfill personal goals and plan for the future.
