Welcome to season 3 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this week's episode, we dive into consciously reclaiming the power of our attention in this modern world that is constantly vying for it.

We discuss:

- How attention is a non-renewable resource and the power of consciously choosing where we are placing our attention
- Linda's exploration of setting up timers for certain apps on her phone
- Laura's experience with the dating app and how it takes her attention
- How apps feed us what will keep us on there as long as possible
- The collapse of the public and private spheres with social media, and how it commercializes our personal lives
- The difference in our relationships with social media depending upon our age
- What do we wish to be doing with our time rather than spending it on these apps
- Looking at what is also working with where we are placing our attention
- The loss of connection that comes from always being on our phones
- The perils of paying attention in Laura's dating life!
- How our attention is atrophying and what the cost of that might be
- The active question of how much attention we want to give to the current political landscape and how we are navigating it
