In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral and her friend, Arin unpack the “onlineification” of everything and how constant convenience, scrolling, advertising, and digital consumption are quietly changing the way we live. From outsourcing everyday tasks to consuming endless content about how to improve your life, Amber questions whether all this efficiency is actually giving us more freedom, or simply filling our time with more things to consume and optimize.The conversation goes deeper into visibility, social media, productivity, comparison, and the pressure to make your life look good online. Amber challenges listeners to distinguish what they genuinely want from what algorithms, advertising, and other people's curated lives have manufactured. Ultimately, this episode asks a simple but powerful question: When technology gives you your time back, what are you actually doing with it? Amber and Arin explore what it means to intentionally “human,” from nurturing real friendships and hobbies to creating space for rest, joy, creativity, and experiences that don't need to be monetized or posted online.📘 Amber's Books: https://www.ambercabral.com/books/ 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/www.humaningwellpodcast.com/Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabralLinkedIn | @ambercabralFacebook | @amber.cabralX | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.socialWatch Amber’s TED TALK here.You can purchase Amber's books from the retailer of your choice here: https://www.ambercabral.com/books/Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable CultureSay More About That: ...And Other Ways to Speak Up, Push Back, and Advocate for Yourself and OthersHuman(ing) Well is produced by EPYC Media Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
