In today's episode, I'm sharing what happened the day I accidentally left my phone at home and discovered something about my own nervous system that I genuinely didn't see coming. 

Pico Iyer writes in The Art of Stillness that not many years ago it was access to information and movement that seemed our greatest luxury, but nowadays it's often freedom from information, the chance to sit still, that feels like the ultimate prize. 

Today's episode is about the things we're certain we can't live without, the difference between true need and pure habit, and what shows up on the rare occasion we accidentally find out we can. 

Question to carry into your day:
What are you certain you can't live without that you've never actually tried living without? 

If the thing you can't seem to put down is the cycle of dieting and starting over with food and your body, that's exactly what I help people with.
