Jocelyn Brewer has, in her words, a job of the future. A psychologist and ex-teacher who helps individuals and organisations be well connected and mentally fit, she has been working with adolescents, families and adults for a decade, and understands the complexity of busy modern life, the increasing role of technology in our work and how healthy digital and screen habits need to be consciously shaped by us all.  

But rather than see exponential technology and social media as a dark force in our lives, Jocelyn debunks the notion of screen addiction and instead invites us all to do an audit on our relationship with our technology devices, so we can make better choices about our “digital nutrition” - that is what we choose to watch, like, who we follow and much time we’re actually spending online.

In this chat, Jocelyn reveals some bite-sized morsels to help guide the use of technology for young people and adults. She has a wealth of resources available to download too and runs courses to support the younger generations who she calls digital orphans, rather than digital natives because their parents haven’t dined on the digital diets that are such an integral part of their lives.

We started by asking Jocelyn how the worlds of teaching, psychology and technology came to collide in her own life.
