How to Master Digital Tech so It Doesn’t Master You with guest, Arlene Pellicane

 

Hey Friend! 

Could you spend a day without your phone?

 

I know. I know. Convicting question, isn’t it?

 

I’m talking with my new friend, author, and speaker on this week's podcast, Arlene Pellicane. And, oh my goodness, the topic is incredibly pertinent: how to use technology so it doesn't drown out the most important things in life. Arlene teaches us how to master digital technology,  the simple act of pivoting and being aware of our digital habits.

We are fighting the same fight!

You are loved! 

Donna
