What happens when your smartphone is running your life instead of supporting it? In this episode of The Wellness Business Coach Podcast, Jaime sits down with Dr. Anastasia Dedyukhina—global thought leader on digital wellbeing, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author of Homo Distractus.
Anastasia shares her powerful journey from corporate digital marketing to living without a smartphone for 1.5 years, and how that experience launched her into pioneering research and creating Consciously Digital Institute. With over 1,000 keynotes delivered worldwide and programs certified by both ICF and NBHWC, Anastasia is helping individuals, leaders, and coaches transform their relationships with technology.
This conversation goes deep into:
The hidden health and wellbeing costs of being “always on”
Why devices disrupt sleep, digestion, productivity, and even intimacy
How new coaches can protect themselves from tech burnout while building a business
The future of coaching in an AI-driven world—and why co-regulation and presence are your ultimate superpowers
Practical first steps you (and your clients) can take to reclaim focus, energy, and freedom from devices
Whether you’re feeling drained from social media, overwhelmed by constant notifications, or curious about how digital wellbeing impacts coaching, this episode will open your eyes and give you actionable strategies.
