In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most powerful mindset tools I’ve ever learned—a thought shift. This simple but life-changing concept has completely transformed how I handle tough moments, my inner critic, and even my health journey.

We’ll explore:

• What a thought shift is and why it matters
• Why your thoughts shape your emotions, actions, and results
• How to start noticing your most frequent (and unhelpful) thoughts
• A real-life example from my own weight loss journey
• Why this isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending to be happy
• How using thought shifts can reduce emotional suffering and build self-trust
• Learning from one of my favorite teachers: Byron Katie and The Work

Plus, I’ll share how to start practicing this today—even if you’ve never done mindset work before. Hint: journaling and quiet time are your new besties.

Mentioned in the Episode:

• Byron Katie’s The Work – thework.com

Today I’m sitting down with Jennie Crooks, a licensed clinical social worker and author, to talk about something so many of us struggle with—digital overconsumption. Jenny specializes in anxiety and OCD, and her new book, Look Up, is a 30-day challenge designed to help us embrace digital minimalism and create more meaningful real-life experiences.

We dive into how our digital habits shape our mental health, especially when it comes to anxiety and social connections. We also discuss the importance of modeling healthy tech behavior for our kids and share practical steps to regain control over screen time. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your phone or social media, this conversation is for you!

Highlights: 

1. Digital habits impact mental health more than we realize. Our constant connection to smartphones and social media contributes to anxiety, stress, and even the illusion of connection. Being mindful of our digital consumption can improve our well-being.
2. Modeling healthy tech use for kids is crucial. If we want our children to develop a balanced relationship with technology, we need to demonstrate healthy habits ourselves—whether it’s setting boundaries, taking breaks, or being fully present in real-life interactions.
3. Small, intentional changes can lead to digital freedom. A 30-day challenge like the one in Jenny’s book can help us reset our relationship with technology, reduce overwhelm, and create more space for creativity, connection, and joy.

JENNIE KETCHAM CROOKS is the founder of the West Coast Anxiety Clinic, a clinical licensed social worker, and an anxiety and OCD specialist.
