Customer Reviews
Informative and Entertaining
We all struggle with the stresses of everyday life. At times our burdens are intensified by the fact that we’re constantly “connected” and always reachable. Rather than abandon our smartphones and tablets, Georgia and Rene teach us how to utilize them actually reduce our stress level. Apps are available on all OS platforms that we can use as our own pseudo version of Dumbledore’s pensieve, allowing our tech to remember and do things for us so we can clear our minds. Using their suggestions along with exercises demonstrated during the podcast (like Georgia’s breathing technique from Episode 1), we can return to a feeling of normalcy. Rene and Georgia work well together, are knowledgeable and present everything in an easy-to-understand way that’s always entertaining. I really look forward to future episodes. I’m thankful for the day I ran across TiPb and downloaded my first iPhone Live. I’ve listened to all of them and iPad Live as well. Keep up the great work guys!
Entertaining and helpful
Thanks for the show guys, I'm interested in seeing where this goes. It very nice to have something about reducing stress but making it somehow related to tech. Awesome.
