July 23, 2025
Watch here:
Addicted to your phone? You’re not alone. In this nostalgic and thought-provoking episode of Coffee Catch-ups Espresso ☕️, Tanya and Amelia ask the big question: Should we ditch our smartphones?
From flip phone memories and BlackBerry flashbacks to the mental load of 24/7 notifications, they explore the highs and lows of our digital lives and wonder what it might look like to step back a bit.
🎧 In this episode, they chat about:
✔️ Smartphone stats, history, and a mini quiz (who knew Nokia was first?)
✔️ Why we love and hate being always available
✔️ The need for boundaries—especially around work emails and social media
✔️ Whether AI is taking us forward or freaking us out
📱 Plus: “Snack Chat” turns into “Service Station Wars” (spoiler: Bridgwater loses)
💬 Whether you’re glued to Google Maps or longing for your old Nokia brick, this episode will make you think twice before your next doomscroll.
