408. Are our phones killing intimacy?

It's not a hot take to say that most of us are incredibly addicted to our phones. But when our usage bleeds into full-blown 'technoference' - technology interference - there can be significant, harmful consequences. In this episode, we explore how phones can harm our friendships and romantic relationships, including: • How phones are replacing in-person interaction • Why we can't help but be addicted • The impact of 'phone snubbing' on our loved ones • How phones are killing our sex lives • The ways we can break our habits and find our way back to intimacy Happy listening!
