Technology shapes modern education and daily life. Dr. Shun Huddleston and Dr. Angela Sturm discuss how students use platforms like Duolingo at home and in school, making digital tools a core part of learning. Both reflect on their childhoods without cell phones or GPS, recalling the need for physical directions and the unique experiences that shaped their independence.
Constant connectivity brings both advantages and drawbacks. The need to stay engaged on social media can be exhausting. Dr. Huddleston recommends regular breaks from technology to support mental health and maintain balance.
In her private psychology practice, Dr. Huddleston observes the pressures faced by high-achieving women. She stresses the importance of recognizing stress symptoms and using therapy, supportive networks, and the power of saying "no" to prevent burnout.
Plastic surgery and mental health intersect in her work. Dr. Huddleston highlights the psychological impact of cosmetic procedures, especially for patients who travel abroad for surgery and later need follow-up care. She advocates for mental health support before and after surgery to help patients adjust to changes in appearance.
Persistence and self-care remain central themes. Dr. Huddleston encourages professionals to balance ambition with personal well-being, drawing on support systems and taking breaks as needed. Her approach offers practical advice for thriving in a demanding, technology-driven world.
