Episode 71: The Digital Leash- untether your soul from it


Listen Later

Do you ever feel low-key panicked because you haven’t responded yet? Or guilty for leaving someone on read—even though you were literally just trying to exist as a human?

In this episode, we’re talking about the invisible weight of the digital leash—the pressure to be constantly reachable, respond instantly, and meet unspoken expectations… all while keeping your sanity intact.

We’ll walk through:

  • A brief (and slightly dramatic) history of how we got here 📞➡️📱
  • Why your nervous system feels hijacked by notifications
  • The actual consequences of not replying quickly (spoiler: the world doesn’t end)
  • A reframe to help you respond from peace instead of panic
  • And a permission slip to untangle yourself from guilt-based urgency

If you've ever needed a breather from your inbox, this episode is your friendly nudge that you're not alone—and you're not a bad friend for taking a beat.
