Ever feel like your brain is fried from constant scrolling, notifications, and never-ending digital noise? You're not alone. In this episode, I open up about my own experience with tech burnout and what led me to hit pause and do a full dopamine reset. We dive into how our modern world hijacks our attention spans and rewires our brains for instant gratification—and more importantly, what we can do to take back control. From feeling disconnected from my family to re-evaluating my daily habits, this was a journey back to emotional clarity, focus, and real well-being.
Could the key to deeper peace and presence be as simple (and as challenging) as stepping away from the dopamine overload? We explore strategies that actually work—like morning sunlight, mindfulness, movement, and embracing tasks that stretch you rather than numb you. And we get into the spiritual side of this too: how regulating our dopamine isn’t just about mental health, but aligning with our higher self. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt "cooked" by life and is ready for something more grounded, intentional, and real.
