About this episode

Berenice and Ella discuss screen time addiction, phone habits, and the impact of short-form content on attention spans, while exploring relationships and societal issues.

Berenice and Ella are talking about screen time addiction, phone habits, and why most of us are basically iPad kids who never grew up — Ella cut her own screen time by 99% and breaks down exactly how. They get into why short-form content is wrecking your attention span, how vaping is just phone addiction in a different shape, and what being present in friendships and relationships actually looks like when you're used to competing with someone's phone. They also cover one-sided relationships and the disproportionate energy women pour into partners who don't reciprocate, the childless by choice conversation (Ella nannied for 10 years and still says no — for now), NYC dating red flags, and why not all "giving back" is actually helpful (Tom Shoes put local cobblers out of business — there's a lesson there). Honest, funny, and zero therapy co-pay required.
