She shares how modern technology, especially AI and personalized playlists, can act as mirrors for our emotional state. Using a spontaneous experience with Siri and a Coldplay song, Sarah explores how our interactions with tech can reveal what we truly need emotionally, if we choose to engage from the heart rather than fear.
She speaks candidly about her journey from guarded and mopey to more light-filled and trusting, emphasizing the power of intention in how we use technology.
