Is your phone is making you less sexy?

does it feel like nothing excites you anymore? you're definitely not alone - are our smartphones and social media ruining attraction, romance, and desire? I personally have struggled with feeling more disconnected and numb in the digital age and I think there's something to the theory that our phones are rewiring our brains. between the easy distractions, instant gratification, constant dopamine hits, and ever-present expectation of "connectedness", it's no wonder genuine human connection is feeling more and more challenging to navigate. that being said, it's not all bad😊 let's chat about it and how to reclaim our ability to *feel fully ALIVE*❣️chapters below!
