Mental Edge 77: Endlessly distracted? This is for you
I watched a family fall apart in real-time.
For two hours, a couple sat at dinner, glued to their phones—completely ignoring their teenage son, who was just waiting to be seen.
It was heartbreaking. But here’s the thing: we’re all guilty of this in some way.
In this episode of The Freedom Project Podcast, I share:
The silent tragedy of distraction and how it’s stealing life from us.
Why the most important moments of our lives often feel unimportant.
How to actually be present before it’s too late.
Because if you don’t stop and pay attention to this moment—one day, you’ll wake up and realise you missed everything that mattered.

The real reason fear holds people back.
