In our Episode Today:

I’m joined by our producer, Tracy Capriotto! I’ve been in conversation with Tracy on the topic of the social media delete I did in the middle of last year, and I’ve been pretty happy with that choice!

Fortunately, Tracy also managed a break from social media as well, and maintained it since her return from the “Carm Cruise.” She shared some valuable insights in her recent pull-back from social media applications - helped by a choice to abstain from the “internet package” while on the recent voyage!

In our conversation, Tracy shares what she has learned in this time, now that she has engaged social media with far greater intentionality, self-discipline, and heightened awareness.

The Word for the Day:

Sovereignty

Noun

Definition: Complete authority and control over your own domain.

In Context: We usually hear this word in political discussions—national sovereignty, territorial sovereignty. But today we're talking about personal sovereignty—specifically, sovereignty over your attention.

Listen in particular to what Tracy says about her smart watch…

I know you’ll find Tracy’s insights incredibly valuable, and it is my hope that she will inspire you to consider how you too can redefine the nature of your relationship with social media, and other technological distractions.

Sincerely,

Craig O’Neill
