The Hidden Cost of Screen Time: Digital Addiction in the Home (Ep 66)
Hey, it’s Ryan Penley—and this week on The Next Fix, I sat down with someone who’s speaking truth about a growing issue we all see but rarely address head-on: digital addiction.
My guest, Mary Catherine Liscinski, is a Certified Life Coach who specializes in helping families navigate the complex, often overwhelming digital landscape. Whether it’s your kid locked into Fortnite or your own habit of doom-scrolling late at night, what we once saw as “just screen time” is now showing up as real behavioral addiction—affecting sleep, mental health, and our ability to connect as a family.
In this conversation, Mary breaks it all down:
✔️ The difference between healthy screen use and digital addiction
✔️ The rise of gaming disorder and its emotional impact
✔️ How blue light affects your brain and body
✔️ And most importantly—how to reclaim your peace and purpose in a screen-saturated world
This episode isn’t about guilt—it’s about awareness and action. You’re not powerless. You can take your home back from the grip of tech—and Mary gives us real tools to start.
