How much of your life is disappearing into a screen?
In this episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi sits
down with Mary Catherine Liscinski, Licensed
Professional Counsellor, Certified Life Coach, and a specialist
certified to treat Digital Addiction involving smartphones,
social media, and video games.
With more than 13 years of counselling experience, Mary works
with teenagers, adults, and families to help them develop
healthier relationships with technology and with one another.
Together, we explore why screens can be so difficult to put down,
how excessive screen time can affect our mental health,
communication, relationships, and everyday presence, and what we
can actually do to regain control.
Mary shares practical ways to create healthier digital
boundaries, including spending more time in nature, prioritising
face-to-face connection, practising mindfulness, using timers,
and becoming more intentional about when and why we reach for our
devices.
We also discuss parenting in the digital age, her grandmother’s
wisdom about slowing down and making life about people rather
than things, and how Mary’s Christian faith influences her
approach to healing, connection, and intentional living.
This is not a conversation about rejecting technology.
It is an invitation to ask whether technology is serving the life
you want to live.
