In this episode of The Black Men Think Podcast, we ask a real question a lot of us avoid: Do we still know how to unplug? After the Sip of the Week, the fellas dive into how phones, social media, and nonstop notifications keep us connected around the clock and why disconnecting feels harder than ever.
We talk about the struggle to step away, whether it’s driven by FOMO, work pressure, or just pure habit. Along the way, we share some hilarious digital detox fails, from deleting apps only to reinstall them hours later, to trying to unplug and ending up right back online.
The conversation turns more serious as we unpack how constant connectivity impacts our mental peace and what it looks like to protect it. From setting no-phone hours to creating tech-free spaces at home, we share practical ways to find balance.
We close by asking the big question: Do we even want to unplug anymore, or is being connected just the new normal? Plus, we challenge listeners to try a 24-hour unplug and let us know how it goes.
