Here's Your Reminder That It's Okay To Disconnect

René encourages you to review how you're using electronics and take steps to minimize the feelings of frustration that can bubble up when you're constantly available and bombarded with information 24/7.

Our guest-host shares what led her to change some of the settings on her phone and computer last year, and details her methods.

"I’ve found notifications to be a disruptive presence in my life to a certain extent. And so where I can I’ve limited them or shut them down a bit so I can have more space to be in the present moment," René says in this episode.
