Not only is Grayson my sibling, but he’s also a tech expert with deep insights into how we can improve our relationship with technology. If you’ve been feeling like your phone controls your life instead of the other way around, this episode is a must-listen. We dive into how technology plays an overwhelming role in our daily routines, do a little bit of dogging on it, and also learn how to use it as a tool for greater productivity, focus, and even personal growth.
Here’s what we’re covering:
Emotional connection to our phones: What it really looks like and why it’s so hard to break
Taking control of screen time: Tips on how to make your phone work for you, not the other way around
Customizing your phone for success: Simple tweaks to make your phone less distracting and more helpful
Mindful tech consumption: Bringing mindfulness into your tech use, just like you do with food, exercise, or self-care
Using smart home devices to sync with nature: How tech can actually help you feel more connected to the natural world
Grayson’s got tons of expert advice, from easy changes you can make to your phone settings to deeper tips on how to be more intentional with your tech use. Whether you’re trying to cut down on distractions or just use smart home gadgets to create a more grounded, balanced life, you’re going to get a lot out of this chat (think – tailoring your phone to your emotional moods).
Tune in now to learn how to manage your tech more consciously, reclaim your time, and build habits that lead to a more intentional, connected life.

Your prescription for living well, dose for this week: In your relationship with your phone + technology, it is form + function — everything to us in ways. Strike the balance of remembering it’s a tool to help us. Be aware if you are swinging too far one way. Add a bit of the esthetic if it brings you happiness. If you’re spending more time managing the tool than using the tool to get stuff done, it’s time to reevaluate. We have endless content + endless feeds have changed the world. It’s the difference between feeling like something is vital to your life + what is helpful. Maybe create a few modes on your phone for emotions, creative + mindfulness. 📱🌿
