We want to hear from you - Send us a text

Your phone didn’t “just get sticky,” it was engineered that way. Strategist and accountability coach Kelsey Green joins us to map a saner path through the attention economy, showing how digital minimalism can boost focus, deepen relationships, and transform sleep without ditching every tool you love. We unpack how intermittent rewards in social apps hijack dopamine, why boredom is actually a creative engine, and how a few strict boundaries turn scattered days into steady momentum.

Kelsey shares pragmatic steps that work in real life.
