We live in a world where connection is constant — but presence is becoming harder to find. In this episode of the Kreatures of Habit Podcast, Michael Chernow sits down with the founders of Mindless Labs to explore how our ever-growing relationship with technology is quietly reshaping our mental health, emotional resilience, and day-to-day well-being.

Together, they dive deep into the rise of digital dependence and the hidden cost of our phones — how what we consume, both digitally and nutritionally, directly impacts our mood, focus, stress levels, and overall mental clarity. The conversation opens up about stigma, isolation, and the lasting effects of the pandemic on human connection, shining a light on why so many people are struggling silently in today’s hyper-connected world.

Michael also shares his own “phone detox” journey, trading in his smartphone for a minimalist device to regain presence, intention, and peace of mind. Along the way, they explore the importance of routines, meditation, breath work, prayer, movement, and nature as essential tools for grounding and healing in the digital age.

You’ll hear insights on:

How digital consumption influences your emotions and mental well-being
The subtle ways technology shapes your habits, reactions, and focus
Simple practices to reset your relationship with your phone
The role breath-work, spirituality, and movement play in mental recovery
How Mindless Labs is breaking barriers in mental health access and awareness
Michael’s personal journey toward balance, family, and intentional living

Whether you’re feeling distracted, overwhelmed by screens, or simply craving more mindfulness and presence, this episode will encourage you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters.
