How the Pandemic Broke Our Brains: Screen Time, Anxiety & the Collapse of Attention | EP 011

from The Broken Traditions Podcast with Leron Gaskins

The pandemic ended… but the damage didn't. In this episode of the Broken Traditions Podcast, Leron breaks down how COVID forever changed the way we use our phones — and why many of us never recovered from our digital habits. We talk about how lockdown rewired our brains, collapsed our attention spans, increased anxiety, fueled teen depression, damaged our relationships, and reshaped our bodies through chronic fatigue, eye strain, and a sedentary lifestyle. If you've been feeling tired, unfocused, overstimulated, or disconnected, this episode explains why — and more importantly, how to break the post-pandemic digital cycle. ➡️ Download my free workbook The Digital Release: 7-Day Guide to Escape the Digital Cell and Reclaim Your Freedom here: https://brokentraditions.com/products/the-digital-release-7-day-guide-to-escape-the-digital-cell-and-reclaim-your-freedom Become a Patron → https://www.patreon.com/c/brokentraditions Join as a YouTube Member → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSRfYZN0GgsXN4AUOo-vvvw/join Today's episode is brought to you by Bark — the tool that helps parents monitor their child's screen time, online activity, and digital safety without invading their privacy.➡️ Check out Bark using the link https://barkparentalcontrols.pxf.io/c/6687341/1430413/17000?adname=affiliate_home_page
