In this episode, I explore how our relationship with technology, and specifically our smartphones, has quietly become one of the greatest threats to our most sacred relationship: the one we have with ourselves. Devotion isn’t just a spiritual concept, it’s a choice we make every single day, and every time we reach for our phone we are either honoring or abandoning that relationship. We dig into the neuroscience of why social media is designed to hijack your attention, why even having your phone in the room is costing you more than you think, and the simple but powerful practices that can help you reclaim your focus, hear your own inner voice, and stop outsourcing your peace to a screen. Because focus is the competitive advantage of the future, and the life you want is waiting on the other side of your attention.
