Our attention is under constant attack—and our mental health is paying the price. In this episode, we explore how excessive digital technology reshapes the brain, fuels anxiety, fragments focus, and quietly erodes our capacity for deep thought and meaningful connection. We unpack why modern apps are designed to keep us hooked—and what that’s doingbeneath the surface.

Joined by guest speaker Dave McGovern, LPC, we connect the science to real-life mental health outcomes and offer a hopeful alternative: Digital Minimalism—a values-based approach to using technology intentionally rather than compulsively.

If you’ve felt distracted, mentally exhausted, or stuck in constantstimulation, this conversation offers clarity, practical insight, and a path toward reclaiming focus and emotional health.
