Episode 8- Tech Addicts Anonymous: The Algorithm Ate My Brain and I'm Ready to Reclaim It.

What happens if the thing that keeps us plugged into the world is also the thing slowly pulling us away from everything else that matters?

In this episode, we’re once again cracking open our love/hate relationship with technology — but this time, we’re diving in with some new angles to explore. Chris opens up about his struggles with tech addiction as it relates to his overall addiction struggles and the ways he’s learning to recognize when his addictive tendencies are surfacing and need intercepting.

While Brie dives into ways she’s learned to use tech with intention in order to not let it consume her attention and identity. We’re unpacking how stress, anxiety, and good ol' existential dread fuel our dependency on screens — and how tech quietly hijacks our attention from the rest of our lives. But more importantly, we’re exploring what it actually means to take back control, regulate our nervous systems, and reclaim personal agency through self-care and intentional living.

Because let’s be real… none of us were actually built for this level of constant stimulation. But maybe there’s a way to exist in this digital chaos, with real self-awareness as the ultimate rebellion.
