The Curator's Algorithm: Reclaiming Your Identity in a Digital World

In this transformative MAD Extra connected to The Insiders: Out of the Blue, we meet Olivia Webb—a marketing professional whose carefully curated online identity is suddenly stolen by a hacker. Just as Bran discovered who he truly was when stripped of his messenger status, Olivia must confront a challenging question: Who is she when her digital presence disappears?

This story, inspired by a real coaching experience, follows Olivia's journey through digital detox, identity crisis, and the discovery of a more authentic way of being. As her career and sense of self unravel, she encounters a forgotten scripture—Philippians 4:8—that offers a radical alternative to the social media algorithms that have been shaping her attention and identity.

Through Olivia's struggle, we explore how our digital environments form us, the neuroscience of attention and validation-seeking, and what it means to curate our lives according to different metrics: truth, nobility, and excellence rather than likes, shares, and follows.

Whether you're drowning in notifications or simply questioning the role of technology in your life, this MAD Extra offers practical wisdom for creating healthier digital boundaries and rediscovering who you are beyond the grid.
