The Convenience Illusion: How "Easy" Tech Is Making Mom Life Harder
This week on Just 4 Moms, we're breaking down a topic every mom can relate to: when "convenience" backfires. From confusing school apps and broken Diaper Genies to multitasking tech that drains our energy, the moms share what's really causing their daily stress.
Kallie introduces the idea of the "Convenience Illusion," inspired by Stolen Focus by Johann Hari, and how tools that promise productivity often create mental clutter. The group chats about the toll of digital overload and how these "time savers" actually steal our attention and peace of mind.
Plus, special guest Dr. Emma Seppälä (author of The Happiness Track and Sovereign) joins us to explore how the constant chase for efficiency may be costing us our well-being—and what we can do to reclaim it.
Also in this episode:
* Favorite beauty products (hello, overnight lip masks and glowing skin)
* Real-life mom fails (Amazon mishaps, neglected furniture, and more)
* Our weekly Peaks & Pits (from Brimfield trips to dance recitals)
If you've ever wanted to throw your phone out the window after trying to book a beauty appointment or figure out a school app, this one's for you.
