Technology is everywhere - in our pockets, our homes, and increasingly in our relationships. But are we using it consciously, or is it using us?
In this episode, Dr Ron Ehrlich speaks with psychologist and digital wellbeing expert đđźđ°đ˛đšđđť đđżđ˛đđ˛đż, who coined the concept of đđśđ´đśđđŽđš đĄđđđżđśđđśđźđť - the idea that our technology consumption should be as intentional and balanced as our food choices.
Together they explore how smartphones, social media algorithms, and AI systems are shaping attention, relationships, and mental health. Jocelyn explains why many digital platforms are designed to capture our attention rather than serve our wellbeing - and how we can reclaim control.
From AI companions to algorithm-driven dopamine hits, the conversation dives into the psychology behind our digital habits and offers practical ways to create healthier boundaries with technology.
If you've ever wondered whether your screen time is affecting your mental health, relationships, or focus - this episode will change how you think about your digital life.
