Episode 17: Digital Minimalism: Finding Balance in a Plugged-In World

Social media is THE place to find a community of sober folks—it’s
literally how Euphoric the Podcast was born and shared. But
Danielle and Karolina suspect that constantly checking your phone
for new updates is pretty similar to the same dopamine
manipulation that goes on with drinking. It’s not easy to sit
with your thoughts and engage with the people around you, and we
constantly want to reach for things outside of us to distract us.
But it is fulfilling. And Euphoric is all about incorporating
more of what makes you happy and less of the stuff that drains
you.


In today’s episode, learn what boundaries around social media and
technology the hosts set up to feel more productive and present,
why Karolina won’t check her phone in the morning or evening, and
why there’s nothing worse than scrolling your phone while
watching TV.


Find your own balance with a digital minimalistic approach and
get the best of both worlds, a thriving online community and
support, and time and space to do the activities that really
fulfill you.
