In this episode of The Self-Help Podcast, Deepali sits down with Colin Corby — technologist turned digital-wellbeing expert, TEDx speaker, endurance athlete, and a leading voice on attention, identity, burnout, and what it means to stay human in an AI-driven world.

Colin doesn’t approach digital wellness as a trend — he approaches it as a lived experience. After personally facing fatigue, identity confusion, and the mental fog caused by constant connectivity, he rebuilt his life around intentional boundaries, focus, and digital discipline. Today, he helps leaders, creators, parents, and everyday humans take back control of their minds in a world that constantly demands more of them.

Together, Deepali and Colin explore why digital detox is not about deleting your apps — it’s about redefining your relationship with technology so you can reclaim your time, clarity, and sense of self.

This conversation is honest, sharp, and deeply timely. Colin shares real stories, powerful metaphors, and practical tools that anyone — especially high-achievers, working parents, and creatives — can begin using immediately.
🧠 Key Takeaways

What you focus on becomes who you are.

✨ Boundaries are not restrictive — they’re protective.

Make focus easier. Make distraction harder.
