Phone Addiction, Excessive Screen Time and Technology Boundaries (OPINIONATED AF)

Ep 200: Opinionated AF is a new monthly segment that we added in 2024 where we share our opinions on the internet’s opinions. For added entertainment, we select videos that have gone viral, are hot takes, and / or are a little controversial.

In the catch-up segment (0-25 minutes), we talk about being in different time zones, our recent travels, appreciating sustainable fashion, our recent self-care spa days, and the need for downtime after busy trips. Allison shares an unsettling update about dealing with parasites and the challenges of health and sanitation abroad. 

During the Opinionated AF segment, the conversation is centered around phone addiction and the impact of technology on our lives. We share personal experiences and desires to set more boundaries with technology. Our discussion highlights the need for open conversations about screen time and the effects of living in a digital world, emphasizing the balance between online and offline life.
