In this episode of the SmarterWellth podcast, host Jill Hummert sits down with digital wellness advocate and AI educator Amie Rafter to explore how we can protect our mental health, creativity, and connection in an increasingly digital world.

Amie shares her journey and how becoming a mother, navigating divorce, and discovering the power and dangers of AI changed her entire perspective on what it means to live and lead well.

They unpack the hidden emotional load of tech, how digital life affects kids' resilience and mental health, and why women in midlife are often the first to feel the pressure, but also the first to shift it.
