  • Ep. 168 Summer Series: The Brain Drain Hiding in Plain Sight
    Jul 18 2025

    We'd love to hear from you!

    We’re all chasing productivity—checking boxes, staying busy, getting things done. But what if the very thing we’re using to stay “on top of it all” is actually what’s draining us? In this episode, we’re talking about one powerful way to reclaim your focus: by paying attention to what’s stealing it. Spoiler alert—it might be buzzing in your pocket right now. Our phones are designed to pull us in and keep us there, but when we start noticing how often and why we reach for them, we can take back control. Let’s talk about how to unplug a little, refocus a lot, and give your brain the breathing room it’s been asking for.
