  43: Digital Distraction to Creative Clarity with Shannon Algeo

  May 4, 20261h 1mS2

  Betsy is joined by Shannon Algeo to discuss his new book, The Power in Your Hands, which explores how our growing attachment to smartphones is reshaping attention, relationships, and even brain function. Drawing on his graduate research, he explains how technology can dysregulate the nervous system, reduce empathy, and fragment focus, contributing to a more compulsive relationship with devices. He also reflects on how his writing process and yoga practice support a more intentional, embodied way of living in contrast to digital overload. Throughout the interview, Shannon emphasizes that reclaiming creativity, presence, and human connection requires both personal awareness and deliberate changes in how we engage with technology.
