Episode #201
Sisterhood, Screens and the Science of Connection With Dr. Adriana Stacey
Explore what it means to build authentic connection in a world designed to compete for our attention. As a Medical Advisor for ScreenStrong, a national nonprofit helping families navigate healthier relationships with technology, Adriana brings professional expertise and personal perspective to this conversation, breaking down the science behind how our brains respond to technology, why face-to-face interactions are essential for developing empathy and focus and how small, intentional changes can help us create healthier relationships with our devices. Listeners will learn practical ways to be more present and understand why connection and belonging are not just important for our well-being, but essential to how we grow, lead and thrive. You’ll leave this episode with a deeper understanding of your own brain, practical tools for navigating technology and a renewed reminder that the most meaningful connections are built when we put down the distractions and truly show up. In a world that constantly asks for our attention, Adriana reminds us that one of the greatest gifts we can give another person is our presence. This episode is dedicated to Mary Virginia Stacey. Following the unexpected passing of her daughter, Mary Virginia, Adriana created the Mary Virginia Stacey Charity Fund to continue her daughter’s legacy by supporting causes that reflected Mary Virginia’s heart, including children, the elderly, animals and youth sports.
