For Carrie Kruse, CPA, CGMA, mental clarity is one goal of going on vacation. Also, Kruse likes to be tested while away from her job as economic development administrator for Iowa's capital city, Des Moines. In Kruse's words, she loves “to be challenged in ways outside of my professional sphere.” Recently, that challenge was a hike of more than 100 mountainous miles in Europe. That challenge also meant she unplugged from work for two weeks, which helped to ensure she returned to Iowa refreshed. This conversation is the first of a three-episode road trip to the Midwest with a theme of summer travel and the importance of taking time away. Episodes with finance leaders in Nebraska and South Dakota are coming later in the summer. What you'll learn from this episode: ·         The particulars of Kruse's economic development role. ·         Why she says that Des Moines punches above its weight. ·         The type of vacation Kruse takes depending on the time of year. ·         How a recent trip to Europe underscored the importance of unplugging. ·         The value of serving on the Government Performance and Accountability Committee.

You're not alone.  This week, we're diving into the digital chaos with anxiety and OCD specialist Jennie Ketcham Crooks, founder of the West Coast Anxiety Clinic, who's helping us understand what our devices are doing to our minds… and what we can do to reclaim our focus, peace, and power.

About the Show:“Everyone with access to a smartphone and technology today has access to the global library of entertainment twenty-four seven—and we all have to build self-control around it, or we're going to develop bad habits.”Ian McCreadyIn this powerful episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, host Randy Wilburn sits down with Ian McCready, founder of SelfCtrl, to tackle a challenge nearly everyone faces today: technology addiction. From video games to cell phones, Ian shares his personal story of how digital devices took over his own life and what he did to change for the better. Now, he's helping others across Northwest Arkansas and beyond find hope, healthy routines, and true connection outside of screens.Randy and Ian break down why technology is so addictive, how it affects both kids and adults, and what practical steps families, schools, and individuals can take to reclaim their attention and mental well-being.

As tolerance builds, it takes more and more time on screens to feel the same excitement.Detox is Possible: Even short breaks from digital devices—like a 30- or 60-day digital detox—can help your brain reset and bring back lost joy and motivation.It's Not Just for Kids: Adults of all ages, not just teens, are struggling with technology overuse and its impact on work, relationships, and happiness.Replace, Don't Just Remove: Find healthy activities to fill the time you get back—walks, conversations, reading, or family games—to make new habits stick.Support Matters: Be open with friends and family about your goals for change, and ask for their support.

Ever catch yourself doom-scrolling on your phone for “just a minute” and suddenly—boom—an hour's gone? Yup, been there too. And you're not alone. Do you know that the global average screen time is now over 6.5 hours a day, and that constant digital input is frying our focus, joy, and creativity? In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I share the antidote—something that's helped me and so many high-performing entrepreneurs rediscover clarity, purpose, and peace: the Digital Detox Revolution.I just wrapped another Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure, where we take driven, successful entrepreneurs deep into the backcountry and literally take their phones away for five days. Sound intense? It is—and it's also absolutely transformational. In this episode, I talk about what really happens when you ditch the screens, embrace stillness, and reconnect with nature, yourself, and the people around you.From anxiety to alignment, these five days offer a powerful reset. I share stories, science, and strategies to help you bring more digital detox into your everyday life—even if you're not camping in the wild. You'll hear how guys who were twitchy from phone withdrawals on Day 1 ended up experiencing their biggest personal breakthroughs by Day 5—all from the simple act of unplugging.Here are a few key takeaways:Stillness breeds clarity. Your best ideas live in the space between distractions.Digital disconnection is a superpower. Especially for creatives and entrepreneurs, it's crucial to carve out tech-free time.Nature and community amplify transformation. There's magic in unplugged connection.Tech habits shape your life. If your reality isn't fulfilling, check your screen time.Make play and presence a priority.

Send us a textWe dive deep into how digital algorithms shape our thinking and behavior through subtle reward systems rather than direct commands, exploring Michael Aponte's concept of "digitally optimized obedience" and its far-reaching implications for individual autonomy and society. Drawing from Aponte's research, the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, and Harvard Medical School findings, we examine how technology is fundamentally reshaping our sense of morality and acceptable speech through invisible algorithmic nudges.• Digitally optimized obedience works through rewards and incentives, not direct commands or fear• Algorithms create feedback loops that train users to behave in ways that generate engagement • Content amplification functions as implicit moral approval while shadow-banning marks ideas as unacceptable• Echo chambers and filter bubbles create the illusion of information while narrowing our perspectives• Algorithms deliberately escalate content toward more extreme versions to maintain engagement• Digital platforms known to target children's developing brains despite awareness of potential harm• Self-censorship emerges as users internalize algorithmic preferences to gain social rewards• Reclaiming autonomy requires conscious awareness of how algorithms shape our choicesTake a moment to consider how deeply algorithms are influencing your thoughts and behaviors.

If you're feeling like your family could use a break from screens and a reset, this is the episode for you. You may remember a podcast I recorded last year about how to do a digital detox. Well, that episode was based on an amazing book called Digital Detox: The Two-Week Tech Reset for Kids, and I am so thankful to have the author, Molly DeFrank, here with me today.You'll Learn:Why letting go of control can actually help you find solutionsOur real-life experiences with digital detoxes in our own familiesHow to help kids manage their boredom and big feelings without screensThe 4-step method to a digital detoxMolly normalizes tech overuse (it's not just you!) and lays out a simple, accessible way for you to give your kid a break from digital input, reset their nervous system, and allow your family to become a bit more whole and integrated. You'll love our conversation and hearing Molly's perspective.------------------------------------------Molly DeFrank is a mom to six children, ages 8 to 15, and the author of two parenting books, including Digital Detox: The Two-Week Tech Reset for Kids. She lives in California and has helped thousands of families break free from digital dependence. The State of Screen UseI often think of the pandemic as “letting the cat out of the bag” when it comes to screens. Even for slow tech families, school was online and our kids were spending way more time on screens. So now, 5 years later, our kids are struggling and we're seeing a lot of families doing some course correction.Molly shared that the vast majority of parents say that their kids' screen use is their biggest parenting struggle and that “8 to 12 year-old kids are spending 40 hours per week on digital entertainment…13 to 18 year-olds are spending 50 hours a week. Our kids are spending the same amount of time as having a full time job being digitally entertained.”Molly was heavily influenced by Dr. Victoria Dunckley, who coined a new condition called Electronic Screen Syndrome that is brought on by too much digital entertainment. It can disguise itself as ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, when it's really just the adrenaline, cortisol, and dopamine that is hijacking their brains. She saw so much of this that she decided to no longer diagnose a new client until they had undergone a digital detox. And most of the time, symptoms were resolved and medication was not needed. That's how powerful this is. Some of these symptoms that come with screen overuse include irritability, aggression, low frustration tolerance, problems sleeping, and inattentiveness.Parents know that something needs to change, but they don't want to deal with the fallout and tantrums of reducing or taking away screens. I know you've experienced this. The timer goes off, and the monster comes out. The negotiations (just 5 more minutes, pleeeease) and big feelings begin. This is purely dysregulation from the transition from stimulation from that device to non stimulation. I call this the boredom gap, and believe it or not, there is so much hope and freedom on the other side. Benefits of a Digital DetoxMolly wants us to know that a detox doesn't mean you're signing up for 2 weeks (or forever) of screen tantrums. In fact, it's quite the opposite. She says, “You're actually getting your kids back.” A detox comes with benefits to your child's creativity, mental health, social life, and academics, as well as your relationship with them. In fact, every parent she knows who has...

This summer, recharge your happiness with a tech break! In this episode of Live Happy Now, Paula Felps sits down with digital wellness expert Amy Blankson to explore how an intentional digital detox can bring more joy, focus, and freedom to your day. Whether you're unplugging for five minutes or five days, Amy shares clever strategies to help you reconnect — with yourself and your summer bucket list. In this episode, you'll learn: Why summer is the perfect time to ditch your device. How tiny tech-free habits can spark lasting happiness and calm. Smart tips for replacing screen time with soul-filling activities.

In this culturally timely episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie Belz talks with Jacob Spehar—licensed mental health and addiction counselor and founder of Courageous Way Counseling. Together, they unpack the concept of “Death by Distraction”—how our dependence on screens, overstimulation, social media, hustle culture, and avoidance behaviors are not only numbing us but quietly stealing our joy and dismantling our families, physical and mental health, spiritual connection, and connections to one another.   Jake shares both clinical insights and practical tools for interrupting the dopamine loops, rewiring your life with intention, and simplifying your environment for healing and joy. Jamie gets vulnerable about her own struggles, and together, they explore what it really takes to step off the conveyor belt and start living. Expect raw call outs, practical ideas, and a push for radical change - starting with bold, countercultural choices.   This episode invites you to slow down and start leading your life and family with presence and purpose.   You're not powerless. Start small. Go countercultural. It only seems hard until you do it. It only seems weird until everyone else starts doing it, too.     Topics Covered: Screen addiction, social media, dopamine dysregulation Time as our most valuable and fleeting asset Trauma as a root cause The link between distraction and self-medication Parenting and restoring the family unit Men's mental health and community Why family meals, boredom, and silence matter Reclaiming mornings for neuroplasticity and spiritual alignment The invisible cost of overcommitment, youth sports, and the hustle How boundaries, presence, and “no” create better outcomes   Resources Mentioned: Find a PHWC or NTP The Body Keeps the Score, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk Codependent No More.

The constant buzz of notifications has become the soundtrack to our lives. That little device in your pocket connects you to everything and everyone—except perhaps what's directly in front of you. For motorcyclists, this digital tether creates an ironic disconnect from the very experience we seek.Remember when communication required intention? When a pager meant someone truly needed to reach you, and finding a payphone was part of the adventure? Today's always-on culture has its conveniences, but while riding, your attention is your most precious resource. The dance between rider, machine, and landscape demands complete presence—something increasingly rare in our notification-saturated world.The magic happens when you deliberately unplug. Tucked away in my saddlebag, silenced and forgotten, my phone no longer competes for attention with the journey itself. What emerges is nothing short of transformative: heightened awareness of sunlight filtering through trees, the changing colors of passing fields, the rich tapestry of scents from pine forests to approaching rain. The soundtrack shifts from notification pings to the harmonious blend of engine hum, rushing wind, and nature's chorus.Beyond these sensory delights lies something even more valuable—a mental settling, a focused calm that comes when your mind isn't pulled in countless digital directions. This state of flow becomes a moving meditation, a genuine antidote to modern stress. The ride transforms from mere transportation to a profound reconnection with life itself.I challenge you to try it on your next ride. Leave your phone out of reach. The initial discomfort of disconnection quickly gives way to something richer and more satisfying—a journey experienced fully, with all your senses engaged. Because motorcycling isn't just about covering miles; it's about being fully present for every one of them. Sometimes the simplest step—unplugging—opens the door to the biggest adventures.

Porn, apps, and missing fathers created a male crisis of loneliness. Here, ManTalks podcast host Connor Beaton breaks down the data and offers solutions.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1178What We Discuss with Connor Beaton:Male loneliness epidemic: 15% of men report having no close friends (up from 3% in 1990), and 28% of men aged 18-24 have no close friends.

In this episode of the Fitness League, hosts Josh, Alessandra, and Joelle discuss the transformative experience of cold plunging, the challenges of balancing parenting with personal wellness, and the importance of maintaining in-person community connections. They share personal anecdotes about their experiences with cold plunges, the benefits of tracking recovery through heart rate variability (HRV), and the complexities of navigating social media as entrepreneurs. The conversation emphasizes the significance of communication within family dynamics and the need to prioritize mental health during busy seasons of life. Takeaways: Cold plunging can be a transformative experience. The cold is a tool for mental and physical resilience. Maintaining in-person community connections is vital for mental health. Balancing parenting and work requires clear communication. It's important to prioritize self-care and mental health. Social media can be both a tool and a distraction. Tracking recovery metrics like HRV can provide insights into wellness. Seasons of life require different priorities and boundaries. It's okay to say no to social obligations for personal well-being. Creating a supportive network can enhance personal and professional growth.   APPLY FOR COACHING: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/1-1-coaching SDE Method app: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/sde-method-app Macros Guide https://www.lvltncoaching.com/free-resources/calculate-your-macros Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lvltncoaching FREE TOOLS to start your health and fitness journey: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/resources/freebies Alessandra's Instagram: http://instagram.com/alessandrascutnik Joelle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joellesamantha?igsh=ZnVhZjFjczN0OTdn Josh's Instagram: http://instagram.com/joshscutnik   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Cold Plunge Challenge 02:46 The Experience of Cold Plunging 05:49 Adrenaline and Cold Plunge Dynamics 08:40 The Aftermath: Energy and Recovery 11:20 Data Insights: HRV and Cold Exposure 14:56 Parenting Insights and Lessons Learned 17:55 Navigating Parenting Challenges 19:09 Family Connections and Nature 23:41 The Importance of Digital Detox 29:18 Balancing Work and Family Life 35:10 Communicating Needs in Parenting 40:55 Reflections on Family Dynamics
