About this episode

Catherine Crestani discusses the implications of relying on AI and screens for connection instead of authentic human interaction.

Catherine Crestani comes back to talk about what happens when we hand our voice, our relationships, and even our kids over to AI and screens instead of showing up as ourselves. She shares stories from clients, her own writing, and her novel “My Virtual Obsession” to show how easy it is to trade real connection for a safe digital fantasy.
