Phones have quietly become one of the biggest threats to real connection, and in this episode of Secret Life, we unpack phubbing—the habit of choosing your phone over the person right in front of you. From partners texting while you’re talking to kids glued to their screens 24/7, this conversation goes beyond annoyance and into the emotional damage phubbing creates: disconnection, resentment, and feeling invisible in your own relationships. If you’re exhausted by competing with a device—or realizing you might be doing the same—this episode names the problem and challenges what we’ve all been normalizing for far too long.
