The Lost Art of Being Bored: Dopamine & Presence


Listen Later

Ever feel like boredom is a thing of the past? In this episode, we dive into The Lost Art of Being Bored…why stillness feels so uncomfortable, how our brains are hooked on dopamine, and what happens when we stop filling every moment with noise.

Jessa opens the episode by sharing the unexpected life lessons from raising two mice for a high school science project (yes, really), while Amanda shares her own experience with a micro dopamine detox from cutting coffee. Together, we unpack how boredom might just be the secret to actually knowing yourself. Because in a world of endless distraction and stimulation, maybe doing nothing is the most radical thing you can do.
