26. Catherine Price: Breaking up with my phone

The Joe Wicks Podcast

The UK’s favourite fitness coach is back with series three of his podcast. This summer, Joe will be speaking to inspirational friends and some of his favourite people to ask them what they do to keep themselves feeling mentally and physically strong in the face of life’s little challenges. It might be relaxing with Lego or cosying up with a good book; every guest will share what works for them in the hope it might inspire you to try something new.

Joe has recently been on a journey with phone addiction, and in this episode he chats about this with Catherine Price, science journalist and author of How to Break Up with Your Phone and The Power of Fun. Catherine speaks to Joe about why our phones are harming our mental health, how we can develop a healthier relationship with them and how her life has changed since breaking up with her phone. She shares some simple tips for us all to try, with the ultimate goal of letting more joy into our daily lives.

This is sunshine in a podcast. Joe Wicks is here for you, and he won’t stop until you’re fit and happy.
