Ep. 157, Micro-breaks from the digital world we live in w/Dr. Mary Donohue

from The Freely YOU Podcast · host Sarah Heredia

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Mary about the real impact stress and constant screen time have on our brains and bodies. She shares her personal wake-up call—a stress-induced heart attack—and how it led her to focus on helping people manage stress in a digital world.We explore how the brain makes decisions, why modern work culture keeps us in survival mode, and how nonstop emails and screen time fuel anxiety and burnout. Dr. Mary offers a realistic solution through micro-breaks that help reset the brain, regulate stress, and improve clarity without eliminating technology altogether.This conversation is practical, eye-opening, and a reminder that small, intentional pauses can create big shifts in well-being.You can find Dr. Mary here:Her Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrMaryDonohue/Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedigitalwellnesscenter/Her Website: https://thedigitalwellnesscenter.com/Her LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/company/thedigitalwellnesscenterHer Book: https://a.co/d/6XjNa1l
