It’s not a hot take to say that most of us are incredibly addicted to our phones. But when our usage bleeds into full-blown ‘technoference’ - technology interference - there can be significant, harmful consequences. In this episode, we explore how phones can harm our friendships and romantic relationships, including:

•  How phones are replacing in-person interaction 
•  Why we can't help but be addicted
•  The impact of 'phone snubbing' on our loved ones
•  How phones are killing our sex lives
•  The ways we can break our habits and find our way back to intimacy

Happy listening!
