    Can a law protect your personal time from work demands? Join us for a special edition of the Mindful Bytes podcast, recorded live from the Metaverse, as we debate France's law that gives workers the right to disconnect from work communications outside of office hours. Our panel—Brian, Shawna, Olivia, and Ashton—brings a wealth of perspectives to the table.

We challenge the stereotypes that often pit generations against each other and explore how mutual respect can bridge these divides.

During this discussion we read fan mail our audience sent in about the constant pressures of modern connectivity. Imagine setting boundaries without fearing career repercussions. We share real-life examples of leaders who set clear expectations for after-hours communication, emphasizing the importance of respecting personal time.

    Have you ever felt lonelier after scrolling through social media? We discuss why this happens and how you can counteract it by focusing inward. Could solitude be the cure for loneliness? Join us on Mindful Bytes as we explore this compelling idea, drawing on insights from Wendell Berry to reveal how purposeful alone time can defy the pull of loneliness. Shawna discusses the fine line between loneliness and solitude, showing how choosing to be alone can offer profound mental health benefits, especially when contrasted with the false connections often promoted by social media. Olivia brings a nuanced perspective by explaining how both extroverts and introverts might navigate these feelings differently, adding layers to our understanding of social engagement.

    Brian introduces us to the "Brick," a fascinating innovation by college students designed to help you manage smartphone distractions and foster a more introspective mindset, during the tech talk segment. Providing practical strategies to help you tune out the noise and tune into your own thoughts. Discover how intentional disconnection through tools like the "brick" device can help create more meaningful connections in your life.

    We also discuss Instagram strategies with our savvy Millennial, Olivia, to boost engagement, emphasizing meaningful interactions over mere follower counts. As we wrap up, the conversation shifts to understanding and aligning personal goals with professional ambitions, stressing that success is subjective and personal.
