Ep. 99 – Always On, Always Burned Out: How Digital Life Is Draining Us
Episode notes
Are you tired but can’t seem to disconnect?
In this episode of R&B Talks, we dig into the modern struggle of being “always on”—digitally, mentally, emotionally. From midnight Slack messages to group chat overwhelm, we talk about the real cost of 24/7 availability, how it affects our relationships, and why setting digital boundaries is more than a trend—it’s survival.
We also share some of our wildest and most ridiculous notification moments (yep, Duolingo shows up again), plus offer a few tools that are helping us reclaim sanity in a world that never sleeps.
🧠 It’s not just about screen time—it’s about soul time.
Mentioned in this episode: – Digital fatigue and mental burnout – Pressure to respond instantly (even to friends) – Notification overload and anxiety – How to unplug without guilt – Practical boundaries that actually work
