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:

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.
