Laura Clery: Social Media Is the New Drug And We’re All Addicted | DSH #1567
13 Oct 2025
Chapter 1: What inspired Laura Clery to build her digital empire?
Sobriety brought us together. Addiction tore us apart. But spirituality, I'm super into. I think it's innate. I think it's within all of us. And when we deny ourselves of spiritual practice, of believing in some sort of power greater than ourselves, we're depressed and anxious and probably have some sort of mental disorder. Money, it does not fill the hole in the soul. Not at all. Right?
We're not meant to be alone. We're not meant to be isolated. We're meant to have people around us in whatever capacity, even introverts.
Yeah.
You're meant to have whatever, your loved one, your family, a sense of community. And when we shift our perception from what can I give rather than what can I get, everything opens up.

Chapter 3: What parenting insights does Laura share regarding raising a child with autism?
You get respect for it almost. Yeah. I feel like you used to get bullied for it.
Chapter 4: How has Laura's experience with addiction influenced her perspective on social media?
Did you get bullied for podcasting?
No, mine's two years old, so I joined late, to be honest. But I feel like they didn't get the respect they used to five, ten years ago.
Well, it's like daytime TV. And I feel like it's a good way to consistently monetize. If you're a content creator, it's smart to have a podcast. Whereas my main source of income pre-podcast was video monetization. And that can be so... Or brand deals, even. Some months it's great, other months it's not. And so it's smart. And also just interesting to talk...
Chapter 5: What are the realities of social media addiction according to Laura Clery?
to people and learn things. It is interesting. That's cool. We just get to have conversations with interesting people.
Yeah, yesterday I had on a billionaire, a trans channeler. Trans channeler.
What is that?
So she channels while she's not present.
She channels only trans people?

Chapter 6: What lessons has Laura learned about happiness and fulfillment?
No, trance.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, she wasn't trans, but she was from Bali. She flew in, channeled on the podcast for 10, 15 minutes, and that was interesting.
Chapter 7: How does Laura Clery balance her career with personal life challenges?
And then right after her, I had on a billionaire. So just like you meet all sorts of people.
And were you like, give me some of your money?
Chapter 8: What are Laura's upcoming projects and future plans?
No, I'm not a liberal. Come on. No. Give it. You got to earn your dough.
Give me that money. No.
No, you got to eat what you kill. You know? Yeah. No handouts out here.
No handouts. That's right. No. Yeah. But did he teach you some tips and tricks on how to become a billionaire? Is that even something you're interested in?
I used to want to become super rich. I still do. Billionaire's a whole nother level though. I think, yeah, there's a lot of sacrifice at that level. He was telling me he doesn't even go to his kid's sports game.
He doesn't even know his children's name.
He knows their names, but he doesn't go to their games. And I have some trauma from that. I'm going to just keep it 100. Oh, damn. My parents weren't at my soccer games and basketball games.
Oh.
Were they at your events growing up?
