If you’ve been feeling scattered, wired, or worn down lately, you’re not alone. Every app, alert and algorithm is competing for your attention, and most of us are giving it away without even realizing it.
In this week’s mashup episode, I’ve brought together the best moments from three conversations with Antonio Forenza, Dayamudra Dennehy and Amir Bozorgzade.
We explore how stress lives in the body and how to retrain it, what every notification really costs us, and why attention may be the most valuable currency we have.

- Why your attention is your most valuable asset, and how to protect it
- The hidden cost of notifications, and why it can take around 23 minutes to refocus after a single ping

- Why self compassion helps you recover from setbacks faster
