Ever feel like life got louder, faster, and somehow emptier?

In this episode, we dive deep into nostalgia for simpler times and our current state of technology and relationship dynamics. You’ll learn why I’ve been slowly trading digital chaos for something I call “analog life” - from getting a landline (yes, seriously) to teaching my son the magic of cassette tapes. 

I talk about how rapid technological advancements have rewired our behavior, what it’s cost us in real connection, and how to reclaim it without having to completely isolate yourself from society. 

It’s not about condemning progress; it’s about checking in with yourself to make sure you’re not missing out on life.
