Descripción

Why is it so hard to stop scrolling—even when you want to? In this episode, Jillian explores a subtle but powerful shift in modern life: the disappearance of stopping cues—and how infinite scrolling reshapes our ability to pause, reflect, and step away. Part of The Unscrolling Series, this conversation suggests that the challenge isn’t about willpower—it’s about the environments we’re in. It also introduces simple practices, including creating stopping cues and using boredom as a pathway back to presence. ________________________ Recommended resources:  "Stolen Focus" by Johann Hari Adam Alter's 2017 Ted Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/adam_alter_why_our_screens_make_us_less_happy [https://www.ted.com/talks/adam_alter_why_our_screens_make_us_less_happy] Produced by Cinemajestic Studios  Copyright 2026 Jillian Eichel LLC, Jillian Eichel Coaching & Consulting

Episode 3: Success: Are We There Yet?

What if success isn’t a fixed destination, but something that evolves as we do? In this episode, Jillian invites listeners to consider what drives our ideas about success. Whether you’re building a career, questioning old goals, starting over, striving toward something meaningful, or realizing the life you imagined no longer fully fits — this conversation offers a deeper look at the “success scripts” we inherit and internalize. Drawing from her own life, psychology, and years of coaching and counseling work, Jillian reflects on ambition, striving, and the tension between external achievement and internal alignment. As promised, each bite-sized episode ends with a few simple practices for you to take into your life - so you might want to grab a pen before listening. _____________________________________________________________________ Resource: Choosing your Values: https://www.jillianeichel.com/values [https://www.jillianeichel.com/values] Produced by Cinemajestic Studios  Copyright 2026 Jillian Eichel LLC, Jillian Eichel Coaching & Consulting

Episode 1: Reclaiming Your Attention in a Distracted World

Do you have time and energy for what matters most—or is your attention getting pulled elsewhere? In this first episode, Jillian explores how easily distraction becomes part of daily life—and the impact constant scrolling has on our attention and presence. Part of The Unscrolling Series, this episode invites you to reflect on your values and your purpose in using social media.  Jillian offers a few simple practices to help you engage more consciously and intentionally—and reclaim control of who or what you’re giving your attention to. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended reading:  "10 Arguments for Deleting your Social Media Accounts Right Now" by Jaron Lanier This episode is dedicated to my 17-year-old friend Max, whose love of the analog leaves me feeling hopeful about future generations.   Produced by Cinemajestic Studios  Copyright 2026 Jillian Eichel LLC, Jillian Eichel Coaching & Consulting
