Cultivating Presence Through Movement and Creativity

We all love our devices—but let’s be real, they’re stealing more of our time and attention than we realize. In this episode, Marissa Hyatt and Ken Freire share 10 simple, engaging activities that help you step away from your screen and reconnect with the real world. Whether you’re looking for more focus, deeper connections, or just a break from the endless scroll, these ideas will help you reset.

Key Takeaways

1. The Reality We Ignore. Ken thought he was on his phone for about four hours a week. The reality? Four hours a day. If you’ve never checked your own stats, brace yourself.
2. Handwriting Is a Superpower. A simple note can have way more impact than a text—and Ken’s unexpected reaction to a handwritten card proves it.
3. Sourdough Is the New Tamagotchi. Marissa’s favorite hobby is oddly addictive, surprisingly meditative, and might just be the perfect way to reset your brain.
4. Lose the Destination, Find Your Focus. Walking without a goal might sound pointless, but it could be the secret to clarity, creativity, and real connection.
5. Try Something Totally Unexpected. Ken and Marissa each committed to one offbeat activity this week to unplug—will you take the challenge, too?
