In a world dominated by viral reels, filters, algorithms, and doom-scrolling, the question is: How the f*** are we supposed to protect our mental health online?
I spoke to Cora Veltman about how she practices regaining control of her relationship with social media. It goes without saying that there are many positives to social media, and that so much of our work needs to happen on social media; but there are still obvious risks — and Cora emphasises interacting intentionally with the social media she uses, so that her mental health doesn't get burned over, and over again.

Living online can be chaotic. Living online with ADHD can feel impossible. Jason Schneider was diagnosed with ADHD in his mid-40s, and has had to learn pretty fast how to manage ADHD in a world where almost everything we do happens online.
I spoke to Jason about what it’s really like navigating digital life with a brain that never stops switching tabs. We unpack attention, distraction, and self-awareness in a hyperconnected world, and Jason shares practical ways to manage focus, find flow, and turn ADHD into a digital superpower.

In this episode, we talk about how artificial intelligence has quietly run our lives for decades — from spam filters to Spotify playlists — and why it suddenly feels like the main character of the internet.
We unpack the good, the bad, and the slightly terrifying: How AI got here (spoiler: it’s older than your parents’ Wi-Fi); why 2020 was the year it went public; the quiet ways it shapes our jobs, feeds, and relationships; what happens when bad actors get smart tools; and why the real risk might not be “the robots,” but us forgetting how to think without them.
Listen if you’re curious, cautiously optimistic, or just trying to figure out whether to panic or not.

If you're using a meditation app to go offline... are you really going offline? In this episode, I dive into into some of my thoughts on why going offline is so hard, some of my own experiences with trying to go offline, and a challenge for truly going offline!
In a world where our attention is one of the most valuable commodities, it's becoming ever harder to unplug and disconnect. Hopefully this episode gives you some new ideas for how to be more mindful about those moments where you do want to step away from the state of being "always online."

In this solo-chat episode (officially the first episode of the series!), I take you through a web of musings that have been floating around my head recently — specifically around the role that chat apps are having on our capacity to have in-person interactions.
Are they getting harder?
Are they becoming more of a slog?
Why do we feel safer behind a screen when talking to a stranger, or even our closest friends?
If you enjoy this episode, please consider sticking around. I'm really excited for the shows coming out soon, and some of the guests I've invited on. These are never going to be longer than 20 minutes, and that's by design.
