• The Power of Unplugging with Tiffany Shlain

  What does technology amplify in your life, and what does it amputate? In her book, 24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week, Tiffany Shlain shares how her family unplugged one day a week and how you can achieve digital wellness. Terms like “digital detox” and “internet addiction,” were developed to identify the problem a device can play. In addition, Tiffany explains what her family calls a “technology Shabbat.” So, where do you want to place your time and attention? IN THIS EPISODE:  [04:05] Tiffany shares a quote from Marshall McLuhan, a media theorist. “Does technology amplify and what does it amputate?” and she discusses the impact of the tech world in our lives [05:15] Taking a technology Shabbat. Tiffany explains what Shabbat is and how it applies to screen time [09:26] The history of spending time without technology and a plan to achieve digital wellness in today’s world [18:26] Your screen can rob you of creativity and restful “me” time. Structure, organization and rituals are positives choices [22:48] Your role as a  parent is to set device boundaries [26:40] Screen addiction can cause a dopamine rush. Often people use their devices to escape. Internet addiction is real [37:08] Inappropriate content is available via the screen, and the average age of children viewing is nine [40:28] Disengaging from a screen creates a “me” network; however, the flip side is allowing validation of what you post frame who you are KEY TAKEAWAYS: The default mode network frees your mind to think creatively and recall events of the day or week without the “noise” of a device Unfortunately, some parents use the internet as a babysitter, training their child to get validation from posts, etc., and the child doesn’t learn how to feel their disappointment, which we all need to be able to do. Screen addiction is so prevalent that treatment centers focus on that particular addiction.

• The Sexualization of Girls and Women with Sarah Jones

  Today, Sarah Jones and Amanda discuss the sexualization and disempowerment of women. Sarah, writer, actor and filmmaker, brings to light aspects of the sex industry through her film Sell/Buy/Date.  We delve into topics that should not be taboo and issues that require a conversation that for all too long have been ignored, denied or sadly even justified, like why women should not be shamed and stigmatized for expressing their sexuality. IN THIS EPISODE:  [01:27] Sarah shares her thoughts on how the oldest profession in the world needed an authentic voice [04:56] Girls are at risk from age 12. The unfair treatment between the sexes because of draconian laws [08:19] Sarah describes the changes she would like to see and the removal of the stigma from women choosing this work [15:27] Sarah reveals her thoughts about the perception of women and how a male-dominated industry like Hollywood categorizes women. What are the ramifications if the film, Sell/Buy/Date, isn't a blockbuster [20:17] Boys are also wounded and can account for growing into men who dominate [24:37] Sarah expresses ways she wants her film to impact the public  [27:10] Do these problems stem from economic realities in western or even global culture [29:20] Sarah explained the cancel culture she experienced when announcing the film KEY TAKEAWAYS: Women are vilified and jailed for prostitution, while the Johns get a slap on the wrist and are on their merry way. Sex trafficking is as much about money as it is about the degradation of women and girls.  Hollywood is a male-dominated industry that still views women as a commodity.   RESOURCES: Amandadecadenet.com Amanda de Cadenet LinkedIn Amanda de Cadenet Instagram Sarah Jones - Facebook Sell/Buy/Date - The Film Sarah Jones - Instagram ABOUT THIS PODCAST: The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet is a groundbreaking series of weekly interviews featuring candid conversations with impactful thought leaders.

I’m here to remind straight white men that they are not in danger.  You are not an endangered species; you still run all the studios. I know there are a couple of figureheads, but guess what? The only black women, brown women, and non-binary folks who get through still have to be vetted by Hollywood's larger white patriarchal establishment.” - Sarah Jones  “We need to have a larger conversation about the sex industry that pulls up to a drone-level view and says, ‘Wait a minute, capitalism, racism, colonialism, all of this history is what explains why there is a disproportionate number of black and brown girls and native women in the sex trade today.”  - Sarah JonesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...
