234: The Village Part 4 - Digital Life
Manage episode 492537139 series 3586021
In this final part of the Village series, I’m diving into one of the biggest culprits behind burnout and overwhelm: our phones. Yep, we’re talking overstimulation, the scarcity loop hijacking your brain, and how digital life is quietly (or not-so-quietly) wrecking your presence with your kids. This episode is part rant, part loving intervention—and I’m breaking down why your phone use might be making everything feel harder than it is. From social media to group chats, emails to photos, we’re covering how to stop blaming your kids for your overstimulation when it’s actually your tech overload. No shame, no judgment—just a real look at what’s zapping your bandwidth and how to start taking it back.
