Episode 248 - How Our Phones Impact Our Health and Well-Being (Opinionated AF)

In this episode, Allison and Ceara discuss the challenges of navigating phone boundaries, social media addiction, AI content creators, the unrealistic expectations of communication in a digital age, and the anxiety caused by being “watched” in public spaces. The conversation emphasizes the importance of finding joy in everyday life and introduces the concept of a dopamine menu, “hanging up the phone” and app blockers to help listeners engage in more fulfilling activities. We conclude with reminders to be intentional about digital consumption and to prioritize self-care.

In this catch up segment, Ceara shares an exciting update about landing a new freelance client and she will be producing a photoshoot with them next week. She is also preparing for an annual trip to Florida with her husband’s family. Allison shares pregnancy updates and the highlights of her 31st birthday celebrations such as pilates, a cacao ceremony, going to a movie, visiting a herbal shop, journaling, and hanging with Clay.

We both give curriculum updates as well. Ceara is crushing it with home-ec as she is cooking a lot and entered a chili into a cookoff with her friends. She’s also making progress on her reading list. Allison’s primary focus has been in planning her home-birth, learning about herbs, acupressure and making flower bouquets.
