Welcome to The Wellness Project with Des,
On today’s podcast episode, I talk with Johan Versteegh. He is a coach, Phone & Social Media Addiction Expert, and the Founder of Social Media Breakup.
We talk about all things screen addiction. We discuss why we are so addicted and dependent on our screens, the effects screen time is having on our mental and physical health as well as how to create a healthy relationship with screens, social media, and tech.
Johan focuses on helping people to create a healthy relationship with social media and screens instead of completely eliminating screens from our lives.
You are not going to want to miss this episode! Listen in to hear about his 6 step formula to having a healthier relationship with your screens.
