Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Self-Help Podcast, Deepali sits down with Colin Corby — technologist turned digital-wellbeing expert, TEDx speaker, endurance athlete, and a leading voice on attention, identity, burnout, and what it means to stay human in an AI-driven world.Colin doesn’t approach digital wellness as a trend — he approaches it as a lived experience. After personally facing fatigue, identity confusion, and the mental fog caused by constant connectivity, he rebuilt his life around intentional boundaries, focus, and digital discipline. Today, he helps leaders, creators, parents, and everyday humans take back control of their minds in a world that constantly demands more of them.Together, Deepali and Colin explore why digital detox is not about deleting your apps — it’s about redefining your relationship with technology so you can reclaim your time, clarity, and sense of self.This conversation is honest, sharp, and deeply timely. Colin shares real stories, powerful metaphors, and practical tools that anyone — especially high-achievers, working parents, and creatives — can begin using immediately.🧠 Key Takeaways✨ Digital detox is not about escaping tech — it’s about reclaiming yourself. The goal isn’t quitting your phone; it’s rebuilding the clarity and presence you’ve lost.✨ Attention is your most valuable currency. Guard it fiercely. What you focus on becomes who you are.✨ Boundaries are not restrictive — they’re protective. Healthy digital habits give you energy, identity, and emotional space back.✨ Tiny shifts create huge results. Even one intentional pause can reset your nervous system.✨ Your environment shapes your choices. Design it with intention. Make focus easier. Make distraction harder.Colin Corby's TED Talk:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEMf-y7KqTc&list=PLZi99fIL3-7pP49Xg4ygku6dW8WnkIIGiThe Digital Detox Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@thedigitaldetoxcoachhttps://thedigitaldetoxcoach.com/Come say hi to me:https://www.deepalinagrani.com/Want to be a guest on The Self-Help Podcast with Deepali Nagrani?
