Unplugging, Digital Detox, and the Overwhelming Urge to Throw it in the Ocean 🤳🌊

In today’s world, there’s an interesting juxtaposition between constant (and often necessary) use of technology coupled with conversations around unplugging. In this episode, we dive into digital detoxing, why everyone suddenly wants a flip phone, and how our nervous systems are begging for boundaries. From nostalgic phone memories to the psychology of being “always on,” we’re asking: can we ever truly unplug? (Spoiler: you don’t have to throw your phone in the ocean… but we get it.)This episode covers:05:48 - Tea & Crumpets: Tokyo Disney & Sunrise On The Reaping10:47 - Step Into My Office: Setting tech boundaries while working from home15:43 - The DSM: Digital Detox + Unplugging39:41 - Now That's What I Call...OKAAAAY!42:32 - Val's Pick: "All You Wanted" by Michelle Branch44:06 - Em's Pick: "Two Ghosts" by Harry Styles44:23 - Wait...What? - The concept of “reheating nachos46:46 - Fire Dumpster Phoenix: Clarksville, TN 4 year old saves her daycare teacher’s life & an 81-year-old waitress said she couldn’t retire, so a stranger raised over $300K for herResources + Stuff  Mentioned in This Episode:Sunrise On The ReapingBusiness of Apps Push Notifications Statistics of 2025How Multitasking Drains UsAll You Wanted by Michelle BranchLOVE/HATE LIST by DREAM BABY PRESSTwo Ghosts- Harry StylesClarksville, TN 4 year old saves her daycare teacher’s lifeAn 81-year-old waitress said she couldn’t retire, so a stranger raised over $300K for herConnect with Us:Send a story or ask for advice: [email protected] But For Real on IG: @butforrealpodNow That's What I Call...
