Giving up my smartphone

Lucy, from Inclusive Change, invites her daughter, Owen, to discuss the benefits and strategies of digital well-being, particularly for neurodivergent young people.

Owen shares her journey from struggling with mental health issues and excessive smartphone use to adopting a more mindful and balanced digital life by switching to a basic phone and engaging in activities like reading, outdoor walks, and therapy.

The conversation highlights Owen's successful transition to online schooling, her academic achievements, and the importance of safeguarding online spaces for young people. They explore the dangers of social media platforms and how reducing digital consumption can lead to improved mental health and well-being. Owen offers practical advice for others considering a similar change, emphasizing the importance of finding fulfilling replacements for screen time.

The podcast concludes with details on Owen's guide, 'Simplify Your Digital Life,' available for free download, and an invitation to the CASTLE conference where Lucy will share more about digital well-being.
