EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
Are you really hungry… or just bored? In this episode of The Dallas Daily Show, Dallas Amsden unpacks a simple moment with his kids that holds a powerful lesson for all of us: the snacks we reach for (mentally, emotionally, and physically) might not be about hunger — they might be about habit. What do you really do when you’re bored? Is your FUTURE YOU growing… or just scrolling?

IN THIS EPISODE:
- The truth behind constant snacking (hint: it’s not hunger)
- Parenting during summer break when the schedule implodes
- How boredom disguises itself as desire
- The unconscious ways we fill our time with meaningless activity
- Simple ways to disrupt the doom-scroll loop
- A mindset challenge to reprogram how you respond to downtime

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Boredom is often a mask for lack of direction—not true need
- Your brain craves clarity, not constant stimulation
- Children and adults alike use snacks (or media) as distraction
- Interrupting the “doom scroll” starts with one mindful question
- Even small actions can re-align you with your FUTURE YOU
- The kitchen may be closed—but creativity is wide open
- Summer chaos is a chance to grow—not just survive
