About this episode

The episode discusses our relationship with phones and how technology affects our interactions and presence with others.

This week, we’re talking about something we all swear everyone else is worse at… but secretly know we’re guilty of too: our relationship with our phones. From scrolling at dinner to checking texts mid-conversation, we unpack how technology is quietly shaping our relationships, attention, sleep, loneliness, and even intimacy. We talk about why being present might be the ultimate luxury, the small “baby steps” we can take to reconnect with the people right in front of us, and the simple habits that can help us feel more intentional in our relationships again. If you’ve ever felt distracted, dismissed, or wondered when we all forgot how to just be with each other, this one’s for you.
