Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Jacqueline Rushin.

A distinguished business executive, addiction counselor, minister, and author, joins Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss her book, The Hidden Hand: How Human Decisions Behind Rapid Technology Deployments Are Driving a Mental Health Crisis. She explores the effects of technology addiction and strategies for maintaining mental wellness in a hyper-connected world.

🔑 Key Themes & Highlights


Technology Addiction & Its Impact
Social media and smartphone dependency are creating engineered addictions, leading to overstimulation, anxiety, and loss of focus.
Many individuals, including students and professionals, struggle with constant digital engagement, causing fatigue and decreased productivity.


Mental Health Crisis Linked to Technology
Increased tech usage has fueled mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, and strained relationships.
Dr. Rushing’s work has identified a growing pattern of therapy-seeking individuals suffering from digital addiction.


Balancing Technology & Mental Wellness
Encourages strategic technology use—making sure digital tools complement life rather than consuming it.
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) drives unhealthy behavior, keeping individuals perpetually "on", preventing rest and reflection.


The Importance of Mental Health Awareness
Historically, mental health was stigmatized, especially in Black communities, where therapy was less accessible.
Today, conversations about mental wellness are gaining traction, but challenges remain, particularly for executives managing silent struggles.


Taking Control of Digital Habits
Dr. Rushing advocates for setting personal boundaries, resisting external pressures to be constantly reachable.
Suggests one hour of daily unplugged time to reset, disconnect, and regain mental clarity.
