We walked into the social media era starry eyed. The promises were big, and most of us didn't see the harms coming.

AI is here now, moving faster and getting more personal than any technology before it. Nobody asked for this.

But something feels different about this moment. In this episode, I share why it actually gives me hope.

I gathered with community in Brooklyn, New York for this live podcast panel discussion around our current digital age, productivity, and well-being.

We discussed who we are outside of what we do. How can we ensure that we are holistic individuals who love ourselves and others regardless of our productivity and job titles? What practices can help us grow in other areas outside the workspace, and how can we remain happy and proud of ourselves even in seasons where we are not outwardly "winning"?

This event was a much-needed reminder that NONE OF US ARE ALONE in society, as isolated as we may feel or be. Societal norms around work can make us feel worthless — remember that you are enough simply because you are. Nothing else, just being.

Moderators:  Prerna Manchanda & Pennie Anassi

Panelists: Jaconna Jacobs, Julius Stukes Jr, Anthony Duncan, & Liz Beecroft

… What?

In this episode we explore the latest in AI and ChatGPT technology, with the help of loads of research, and especially the dangers posed by such quick technological progress. What’s safe? What’s ethical? What’s predictable? Who measures and monitors? Who gets hurt? Tune in for a real deep-dive, no fear-mongering, and realistic “what now?”

I know that transformation happens when we are still: we let ourselves move from doing to being, and we make space. Practicing silence helps us be more grounded, mindful, and present. 

However, this practice of silence is not the end-goal in all spaces. In many spaces, we actually need to be speaking up more, especially against injustices.

In this episode we’ll break down learning one’s proximity to power, when and how to use your voice, the importance of silence, and more.

This series introduces listeners to what meditation is and how to practice. And if you’re not a meditation beginner, it’s also a great way to re-ignite your practice in the new year.

For each week of January, we’ll review a different foundational topic followed by an introductory guided practice (but you don’t have to do them in order!).

Today we'll discuss:

  • Why is it important to focus on body? 
  • How the body helps us get to know ourselves in a deep and intimate way
  • It’s an intimate gift to tune into the body
  • This is a body scan meditation and can be done lying down as well!
  • And this practice can be used to help you fall asleep :)

You can always find more about meditation on the podcast, on the blog at https://www.technicallyspiritual.com/blog, and for business or team leaders who want to boost productivity and happiness on their teams, visit https://www.technicallyspiritual.com/corporate-services to learn about our mindfulness programming.

Meditation and mindfulness is about so much more than just the moments you do something like listen to this episode. It’s a practice that takes times to integrate, to explore, to address emotional challenges, and fold into our daily lives. I’m so glad you’re starting (or continuing) here with me.

What else would we expect when the dates meant to honor the earth are swallowed up by the very true messaging that we’re on course for climate disaster within our lifetime?

But, without sweeping this crisis under the rug, without forgetting the scary things, like corporations’ majority responsibility for Earth destruction, I’d like to create space to focus on the good. I want to focus on how wonderful it is to be able to love our Earth mother through small, sustainable acts of kindness, and feeling like we are enough so that we may be of better service to the outer world.

  2. The psychological (manipulated, algorithmic) dependence on our devices

At every corner of self-help books, mental health podcasts, journals, and social media, everyone is telling us to be grateful. The (often extremely shallow) wellness industry thrives on gratitude. 

And while there’s good reason for this, our understanding of gratitude is turning out to be quite limited, especially when we look at the impact it has on non-white, non-North-American, and non-individualist (collectivist) cultures. In this episode, Prerna breaks down how to broaden our perspective & holistically practice gratitude.

It’s about how it affects your level of suffering, as it pulls focus away from the people and things that matter most deeply to you. Especially in our current digital age, prioritization is incredibly tricky, and yet more important than ever.

In this episode, host Prerna Manchanda speaks speak with world-renowned author Nir Eyal about his book Indistractible, and he shares how to get the best from technology without it getting the best of us.

Prerna and Nir discuss how to start identifying the triggers that lead to distraction, as well as practical, realistic tools to help you make for time for traction—actions that pull you towards your intentions (and away from suffering).

They critically review what’s wrong with the current tech narrative, which currently leaves users (all of us) feeling helpless and Nir offers empowering advice about how to “hack back” tech. In this episode, Nir illustrates why becoming Indistractable is the skill of the century and he generously shares the framework for how we can all get there.

Social media is a complex mechanism that can greatly influence our well-being. How can we use it to promote equality, social justice, and elevate humanity without getting caught up in misinformation, deep division, and disconnection to our own selves? How can school systems implement media literacy to inform the next generation about how to maintain well-being and safety on the internet? How can we as adults use our technology mindfully to not only honor our own needs, but serve as role models for the kids in our life that look up to us? Lauren Ross is a school psychologist and yoga teacher in Brooklyn, NY and a PhD candidate in school psychology at Fordham University. Born of a conviction that mindfulness should be accessible to everyone, as well as a possible tool for social justice, Lauren is currently researching mindfulness and restorative justice practices in schools.
