For today’s episode, Rijul joins us as we discuss the relationship we have with technology and how we can build and maintain a healthy balance. We talk about shifting your perspective from an outward view of others to an inner view of yourself and the joy you can find in the moments you have, Rijul shares his experience with overcoming his tech addiction, and we look into the spectrum of digital wellness.

Having a healthy, balanced “diet” of tech use can be as impactful as having a balanced diet.
