We've got apps tracking our sleep.

Apps tracking our steps.

Apps tracking our stress, our heart rate, our mood, our breathing, and probably our ability to remember where we left the car keys.

But here's the question:

Have we stopped trusting ourselves?

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we dive into the modern wellness industry and the growing obsession with measuring everything.

We talk about:

  • Why so many of us need a watch or an app to tell us how we're feeling
  • When self-awareness becomes self-monitoring
  • The pressure to optimise every part of life
  • Whether wellness is helping us or making us more anxious
  • And why sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop tracking and start listening

At one point Andy points out that his nan managed to live a pretty good life without a sleep score, recovery score, readiness score, hydration reminder, mindfulness notification, or a smartwatch telling her she'd had a stressful Tuesday.

And somehow... she coped.

This episode is funny, thought-provoking, and asks an important question:

Are we becoming more connected to ourselves... or more dependent on being told how we feel?
