Digital Detox ft. Briony Aston, Yoga Instructor
Do we need a digital detox?
In this episode, your hosts Emma and Jack chat all things social media – discussing the pros and cons of what we see and share online, and the impact these have on our wellbeing. Through personal experiences, this episode outlines various suggestions for why we might be more mindful of our social media experiences, and our wonderful guest Briony Aston – yoga teacher, dog mum and all-round wonder woman – chats about her attitude towards social media, her philosophy for how we should use this technology, and how we shouldn’t take all Instagram profiles at ‘face value’!
During this ep on digital detoxing, we also learn about the relationship between social media, depression and anxiety, sleep and blue light from our screens, and the social experiment of removing the ‘number of likes’ visible on Instagram posts.
In the Dream Log segment, Jack and Emma attempt to unpack the latest of Jack’s abstract dreams – this time involving Dr.Who and an old friend from school...what could it mean? Be sure to let us know your interpretations too, by following us and getting in touch on Instagram and Twitter @DialEmPod or by email at [email protected].
I guess there are some good things that come out of social media...like staying up to date with the latest episode topics, and having your say online via our question feeds!
