In this episode of BrightBond, Patrick Duriaux sits down with Alessandra Patti to explore how we can build healthier digital habits and protect what matters most: real human connection.

Today’s episode title is: “Use tech — don’t let it use you.”

Alessandra is a professional trainer and mental well-being consultant with 12+ years of experience. She lectures at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland and works internationally across industries, supporting people at different levels of seniority.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• one positive way social media can support real-life connection
• the habit that keeps people trapped in scrolling — and healthier swaps
• how to turn online attention into real-life belonging
• simple phone rules that actually stick
• signs your nervous system needs offline time (without guilt)
• intergenerational “phone-friendly but human-first” norms
• Alessandra’s biggest surprise from a social media detox with University of St. Gallen students
