Have you ever checked how many times you unlock your phone each day? You can do it inside the backend under Digital Wellbeing on a Samsung or Screen Time on Apple devices. I think if you do you’ll be really shocked at how many times you open, not only your phone but each individual app. If you’re shocked and embarrassed or you just know that you need to break up with your phone or delete some apps then this podcast is for you because we talk about tools that can help you manage your screen time and build a relationship where you are in control of how much social media you and your kids consume.

On this episode we discuss: 

• Why screens are so addictive
• The dopamine feel good hormones that come from playing on your phone
• Feeling social media FOMO
• Having the feeling of not wanting to let people down
• The unwritten social contract that says you MUST reply immediately.
• The guilt of not replying
• The societal damage of a screen addicted generation
• Breaking up with your apps 
• Dealing with being insignificant, and developing more meaningful relationships
• Making it okay to have boundaries with work, friends and family
• The Right to disconnect 
• A lack of resilience in privileged children 
• Phone addiction can lead to sugar addiction (and vice versa)
• The social responsibility of Social Media companies 
• TikTok possibly being banned in the USA
• Using HitPauze to create a healthy relationship with your phone
