Learn how to take control of your digital habits and reduce anxiety with Jennie Ketcham’s expert insights on digital minimalism and mental clarity. In this episode, Rebecca Greene talks to Jennie Ketcham, a licensed clinical social worker and founder of the West Coast Anxiety Clinic, who shares her journey from former porn star to mental health expert. Jennie discusses the impact of digital overuse on anxiety, how we can develop psychological flexibility, and how her 30-day challenge outlined in her book Look Up: The 30-Day Path to Digital Minimalism and Real Life Maximalism can help individuals reconnect with real life. She also touches on how parents can model healthier digital habits for their children and the profound effects of reducing screen time on mental well-being. Key Takeaways: 📱 Digital overuse can keep us on autopilot, increasing anxiety and making us less present in the moment. 🌿 Embracing psychological flexibility allows us to tolerate discomfort instead of escaping it through our phones. 🧠 Jennie’s 30-day challenge helps break free from digital habits, fostering a more intentional relationship with technology. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents should model healthier screen habits to encourage their children to stay present and engaged. 🌟 Reducing screen time can boost creativity and mental clarity, leading to a richer, more meaningful life. Quote: "Phones interrupt the process of learning to embrace anxiety. You’re capable of feeling much more than you think—bring it on!" Quote: "Missing my daughter’s first step because of my phone was a wake-up call. It's not about cutting off digital entirely but learning to choose when and how to use it."
