If the online space feels louder, lonelier, and more disconnected than ever, you’re not imagining it. In this episode of Unjaded, Vickie Dickson unpacks the collective craving for human connection that’s emerging in the wake of AI saturation and social media burnout.

From declining launch engagement to audiences spending less time online, we’re seeing a massive shift—and it’s not a collapse, it’s a course correction. Vickie shares the real data behind the plateau, why buyer trust is at an all-time low, and how entrepreneurs can stay ahead of the curve by blending the digital with the tangible.

She also shares a personal story: how her 4th line Human Design Profile need for community inspired her to open a retail store again, and why it might be the best thing she’s ever done for her soul and her business.

If you’ve been feeling “off” in the online world or wondering what’s next for your business in the age of AI, this is your permission slip to rethink everything and rebuild with connection at the core.
