Restoration seems simple—until you realize no one can agree on what it actually means. One of us sees it as fixing, the other as letting go. 

Meanwhile: The deeply personal connection between energy and resistance, a philosophical showdown between zero-tab and emotional-support-tab people, and an unexpected Beanie Baby bidding war that somehow ties it all together.

Listen in, then join the weekly conversation at our Substack (https://thescreenfreelife.substack.com/)—because the experiment doesn’t end here. 🏝️

The fine print: Welcome to The Screen Free Life, where every episode is a thought experiment disguised as a podcast. You’re on a deserted island for a year—no screens, no distractions—just you, your thoughts, and one item from ‘The Box’ to help you navigate the theme of the week. Whatever you choose, you chose it for a reason. This isn’t just a game—it’s deep exploration, a little unexpected, and exactly the kind of conversation that sticks with you long after you’ve left the island.
