Getting Your Digital Life Under Control W/ Maya Yizhaky, Digital Zen Expert
- Or listen in:
Greetings, SuperFriends!
This week you are going to meet one of my oldest and dearest friends, Maya Yizhaky! Maya is a digital mindfulness and digital zen expert, who helps people understand better ways to get in control of their technology, better ways to create peace and order in their lives, and better ways to get through all the digital chaos.
Maya spent several years in management consulting, doing strategy and leadership advisory for multinational corporations, international development institutions such as the UN, and technology start-ups. She then shifted to working with private clients, helping them declutter their lives and their souls.
In this episode, we go really deeply into all different kinds of strategies that can help you get rid of all the clutter in your digital lives. We talk about why digital clutter exists, why it matters, what the negative effects are in your life, and then we start to talk about practical ways that you can utilize to free yourself from this clutter ā ways that will actually last.
It's a really wide-ranging conversation, which I really enjoyed, and so we went a little longer than usual ā but I'm sure you will really enjoy this episode as much as I did!

Thanks, I learned a lot of interesting things in past episodes.
loved th heart and the depth of the conversation. The way that Dr. Metivier shared from his enormous experience and insights was just amazing. Thank you Jonathan for doing this podcast!! š
Great interview with Dr. Greg Wells! He mentioned a doctor from Colorado around the 42:30 point of the podcast, discussing turmeric and black pepper. I couldnāt make out the doctorās name. Can you provide me with his full name and maybe his website or contact info. Interested in his products.
Thanks,
Rob
I am new here, and learning really fast.
Thank you.
Maybe oarts of the things he has to share are right, maybe not. If I look at him which impact his nurturing and living style has on himself I see a very old looking man! He is year 1973!! That is not old and he looks definitly much older!! If I would not know his birthyear I would guess that he is in his mid-60ies!! A bit concering for someone who claims his lifestyle is suitable for a long life, isn’t it?
