In our latest podcast episode, I sit down with Dr. Zelana Montminy, psychologist, author, and mental fitness expert, to explore how we can reclaim focus, calm, and emotional resilience in a world full of distractions.
With her new book Finding Focus, Dr. Zelana shares insights on why our brains are so easily hijacked by burnout and dopamine hits—and, most importantly, how to regain presence in everyday life. From endless notifications to the constant pull of multitasking, modern life makes focus feel nearly impossible. Dr. Zelana explains how our brains respond to small bursts of dopamine from tech and overstimulation, and why this can quickly lead to burnout.
