Gatekeeping Your Peace

Gatekeeping Your Peace

When it comes to reducing cell phone use, we’ve all heard the advice. Turn off notifications. Unfollow and unfriend. But this advice? It’s stale. Shallow, even, because it does little to *actually* reduce time spent on screens.

We often discuss gatekeeping our homes and the responsibility that comes with deciding what gets granted admittance. On today’s show we identify what it means to be the gatekeeper of our peace by once and for all getting intentional with our tech.

 

Here’s a preview:

[10:30] Enter white space: How to incrementally extend the length of time between your cell phone checks

[12:30] Has the work-from-home movement ballooned our use of tech?

[18:30] Here’s the stuff you really, really should be deleting from your phone

[22:00] The one phone-related step you can take to improve your focus, well-being, and relationships

[26:00] Are you a phubber?

Plastic, Plastic Everywhere

The plastic-drenched, disposable world we live in didn’t happen by accident. It was slowly, methodically built by Big Oil.

They’re doing everything in their power to get people to use as much plastic as possible, all so they can make money from every single molecule they extract from the ground. And right now, they’re pouring billions of dollars into plans to double, or even triple, plastic production by 2050.

This week, award-winning environmental journalist Beth Gardiner joins us to pull back the curtain on who’s behind all this plastic and why. We explore why production is skyrocketing despite consumer pushback, how the myth of recycling keeps us distracted, and why naming the real culprits is the first step toward true systemic change.
