In this episode I sit down with Dr. Mary Donohue, a TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and CEO of the Digital Wellness Center, for a conversation that is both eye-opening and urgently needed. As we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month, I open up about my own journey through trauma and complex PTSD and why this mission is so personal to me. Together, we shine a light on the silent epidemic of digital addiction and the emotional toll our screen-filled lives are having on our minds, bodies, and relationships.
Dr. Donohue shares the terrifying moment her body gave out from the pressure to be perfect and how surviving a heart attack became her wake-up call. We dive into the danger of ignoring everyday stress, the spiral of WebMD searches, and what happens when you live for everyone else and forget yourself in the process. But we also explore something deeper—how faith, self-awareness, and even small shifts in how we live and love can bring us back to life.
We talk about the science behind digital stress, how our brains are not built for constant stimulation, and why even a few moments of mindful solitude can change everything. We reflect on how perfectionism and comparison culture are stealing joy from women and how healing often starts with grace, not guilt.
This is a call to action, a soul-level reminder that you are not broken and you are not alone. Whether you’re burned out, overwhelmed, or just looking for a sign to slow down and breathe again, this episode is for you. Let this be your invitation to pause, reconnect, and remember what truly matters.
