Are You Addicted to Your Phone? A Conversation on Digital Mindfulness
Can you imagine a weekend away from your phone? In this episode, Elizabeth shares her experience at a spa resort with a strict no-phone policy—an unexpected but eye-opening digital detox. What started as a weekend getaway quickly turned into a deep realization about how much we rely on our devices.
Tara, Maria, and Elizabeth dive into the anxieties of disconnecting, the effects of constant digital stimulation, and the surprising ways technology shapes our daily lives. Are we truly present with the people around us, or are we more connected to our screens than to real life?
In this episode:
The impact of stepping away from technology and what it reveals about our habits
How our brains have adapted (or struggled) in the digital age
Social media, attention spans, and the science behind digital dependence
Small, intentional changes to build a healthier relationship with your phone
What are your thoughts on digital mindfulness? Have you tried setting phone boundaries? Let us know—we’d love to hear from you!
