Laura's path to digital wellness work

You might have heard of the term "digital wellness", and for those of us with ADHD it's way more than just a buzzword - it's a necessity! That's why this week's episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we're unpacking how we can support our neurodivergent brains that are wired for stimulation!

In this episode, we’re joined by Laura Willis, a digital wellness coach, speaker, and advocate! Her work focuses on helping individuals and families take back control of their screen time through mindfulness, boundaries, and education to step away from social media and reclaim mental clarity

We explore the addictive nature of phones and why constant digital use can impact our focus. Laura offers practical, actionable tools to manage screen time, reduce stress, and foster healthier digital habits, for both adults and kids.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

• What is digital wellness, and why it matters, especially for ADHD brains
• Laura's journey away from social media and how it impacted her mental health
• The role of schools and parents in guiding healthy screen use.
• The HARMONY acronym for building better digital habits
• How to foster a family culture of open conversations around tech.
• Recognising our own phone use behaviour to model to kids
• Setting boundaries like screen-free times to support attention and reduce stress
• Using tools like pen and paper to boost memory and avoid digital distractions.
• Exploring digital presentism and taking personal responsibility for tech use
• The impact of digital culture on high-stress professions like law and finance.

From parenting tips to workplace boundaries, this conversation is packed with insight, warmth, and encouragement for anyone seeking more presence and peace in a tech-saturated world.
