Ep. 223: Does Your Phone Make You Constantly Connected, Always Available, Anxious and Unhappy?

Did you know that stepping away from your smartphone can help you lead a more peaceful and fulfilling life? 

These days the devices in our pockets make us constantly connected, always available, overstimulated and interrupted by pings, reminders and vibrations. 

Our phones have increased the pace, efficiency and convenience of our lives, but studies show they’ve also increased our anxiety, depression, and loneliness.

I remember the days before smartphones as a slower and more peaceful time in my life. But I love my phone and it’s the tool I use more than any other.

It’s my credit card, address book, alarm clock, meditation app, sleep sounds, encyclopedia, map and dictionary. How did I navigate life without it?

I asked Jennie Ketchum-Crooks, an anxiety and OCD specialist, to help me dive deep into the mental health impacts of digital overconsumption and how a digital detox can help us combat anxiety and foster healthier, more meaningful lives.
