Podcasts about phone addiction

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. Bookend your day tech-free, or try a Sunday screen sabbatical—you'll be amazed at the results.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, creatively blocked, or just out of sync with what matters most, this episode might just be the gentle slap you need (in the best way possible).

How many times have you been told to “calm down and take a breath” in the middle of an RSD meltdown?If only it were that simple… or could it be?This episode isn't about some shiny new trend — it's about breath. The one thing you carry with you every second of the day — and might just be the most powerful tool you're not using.I'm joined by Jamie Clements, breathwork coach, founder of The Breath Space, and quite honestly, one of the most authentic voices in the wellness world right now. What I love most about Jamie is that he's not here to sell you perfection. He's lived the struggle — from panic attacks and burnout to building a life (and business) rooted in purpose, self-connection and real, grounded service.Together, we untangle: 

Send us a textOne of the biggest contributors to this kind of tiredness? Our phones.We're living in an always-on world. We reach for our phones constantly—for messages, social media, videos, news. Even in quiet moments—waiting in line, sitting on the couch—we seek distraction.It's constant stimulation, and our brains aren't wired for it.More scrolling means more fragmented attention. Our minds don't get to rest.Emotionally, scrolling is a rollercoaster: outrage, tragedy, celebration, comparison—within seconds. It's exhausting.Thanks for listening, I hope this episode will be helpful.Philippe

You've built the business, chased the wins, and pushed hard throughout your launches... but behind the scenes? You're tired, overwhelmed, and caught in a dopamine loop that's stealing your peace.In this raw solo episode, I talk about the invisible toll success took on me, and how I've been learning to find balance again. From launch crashes to Instagram comparison traps, I'll walk you through how I broke the ‘always on' cycle and rebuilt joy in my business and life.

Send us a textIn this insightful solo episode, I take a deep dive into one of the most pressing challenges of our modern age—managing our phone use. As we welcome a new year, it's the perfect time to reflect on how we spend our most precious resource: time. Through actionable advice and personal anecdotes, I explore the often-overlooked impact of excessive screen time and its ripple effects on our productivity, relationships, and overall well-being. This episode is all about reclaiming control and using technology intentionally to enrich, not detract from, our lives.From turning off non-essential notifications to curating a minimalist home screen, I share practical strategies that have transformed the way I interact with my phone. Drawing on my own experiences with ADHD and the challenges of staying focused in a hyper-connected world, I offer tools and techniques to reduce distractions, enhance presence, and cultivate meaningful connections. I also highlight powerful apps like One Sec and Opal, as well as lesser-known hacks to make your phone a tool for growth rather than a source of constant interruption.This episode is a call to action for anyone looking to break free from the cycle of mindless scrolling and instant gratification. Together, we'll explore the importance of boredom, the value of delayed gratification, and how intentional phone use can lead to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life. Tune in for a fresh perspective on managing your tech habits and starting 2025 with clarity, mindfulness, and focus.
