Brittany shares how cutting off apps transformed her mental health, friendships, and daily energy, explaining everything from “social media food poisoning” to addictive rabbit holes, retinal-scan level app locks, and the unexpected depression ebb-and-flow that comes with detoxing your brain from constant comparison culture. She opens up about losing friends, rediscovering real life, hosting intentional dinners, reconnecting with nature, and how unplugging made space for what she calls “The Anne Project,” a personal evolution built on clarity instead of chaos. If you've ever wondered whether deleting the apps might change your life, Brittany’s story will hit you harder than you expect—and she might even convince you to do it.Brittany Karber is the daughter of Anne Karber, so she is destined to succeed, naturally! She has traveled many places, met many people, and shared many experiences with the world around her. Since Brittany was able to, she has been passionate about cleaning and organizing; like OCD, but in a cool way. Brittany loves being outdoors in any way, playing any kind of games (board, card, court, video, etc.) This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma. But just so we're super clear: I’m not a licensed therapist, mental health professional, or anything close. I’m just a human sharing stories, lessons, and life hacks based on personal experience and a whole lot of curiosity. So, while you might find some golden nuggets here, this is not therapy and should never replace professional mental health care. If you or someone you love is going through it, please—seriously—reach out to a licensed therapist or healthcare provider. You deserve the real deal.
