Hi, I'm Otto. Welcome to Erensara's Put Cost.

You guys, today is such an important episode. I think that there is, well there's so many

takeaways for people at all stages of life for people that are parenting teens to young women to

middle-aged women who are trying to balance being on social media being on their phones, but also knowing when to put it down, people that are feeling

stuck, not as high functioning, not as just distracted.

I mean, we're all distracted by our phones.

And so I have my bestie, Jen Meyer, she is here.

And we spoke with Brad Marshall.

He is the leading expert on internet addiction. He is the author of multiple books including the

tech diet for your child and teen and how to say no to your phone. He's the

director of the screens and Gaming Disorder Clinic in Sydney.

Guys, this guy's like impossible to get into. So it's a miracle that we were able to

spend two hours with him. We talked about the signs of tech social media

addiction, small changes we can make in our daily lives to be present, what all

this tech is actually doing to our brain and mental health, how to set healthy boundaries with your phone and technology.

The conversation, I'm telling you, it just applies to everyone.

So make sure you listen all the way through send this to your friends who are

navigating their teens and their kids and you know this is even for people with

no kids just for yourself this is truly an episode

anyone that has a phone or knows someone with a phone this is for you.

Brad Marshall.

Hello.
