Faith, Mindfulness, and the Fight for Mental Health in a Tech-Obsessed Culture

In this powerful episode, Andrew Laubacher and Jaydee explore the heart behind Humanality — a movement born from the growing need to address technology addiction, mental health challenges, and the false sense of connection created by social media.

Andrew opens up about his personal journey — from smartphone dependency to flipping the switch (literally) back to a flip phone. Together, they unpack the psychological effects of tech, the loss of authentic human interaction, and the role of faith and spirituality in finding purpose beyond the screen.

This conversation goes deep into the manipulative design of digital platforms, the need for community support, and how mindfulness, intentionality, and a return to human-centered values can help us reclaim what matters most.

Faith, Meaning & Youth Empowerment

Key Takeaway:

"We don't need to reject technology, but we do need to reclaim our humanity." This episode challenges us to pause, reflect, and make intentional choices that serve our souls, not just our schedules.
