RECLAIM Your Life; Stop Scrolling, Take Back Your Attention & Start Living; HEATHER HENDERSON; Live from California realconversations scrolling recruiter author humanbehavior CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIES Hosted by Calvin Schwartz MEET HEATHER HENDERSON: It’s been several hours since our interview; I'm still reverberating. Heather carries a critical message in her book “Reclaim: How to Stop Scrolling Through Your Life and Start Living It.” I rarely do this, but I want to make a point about how important this is. Invoking Cher slapping Nicholas Cage in ‘Moonstruck’: “Snap out of it.” Yes, dramatic. Heather’s message is dramatic and real. Heather is brilliant and experienced. Fragmentation of attention. Connectivity with quiet exhaustion. Did I choose this, or was it chosen for me? (powerful). Long live the algorithm. Behind productivity, something is missing. The world is changing every 15 minutes. This interview is critical. ‘Reclaim’ is released September 22. Heather’s words: Google bus as a recruiter. Busy scrolling. Blinds closed instead of watching the sunset. Awareness is a first step. It takes 24 minutes to regain focus. AI can threaten to accelerate the attention crisis. Archetypes: TV watcher, scorekeeper. That’s me! Unplugging is uncomfortable. Self-control is extraordinarily difficult. “Slap out of it.” Reclaim is so necessary. Calvin ?️ 865+ YouTube videos; starting my 7th year, over 500 interviews on 6 continents.

A first-generation college graduate, Henderson spent more than a decade recruiting talent for Visa, Accenture, Google, and Uber, including engineers building products. Her work gave her a rare perspective on both sides of the screen: people designing technology and people adapting to it. She saw distraction, exhaustion, and disconnection. Henderson explores attention, digital habits, presence, and technology’s influence on human behavior. She speaks at universities, conferences, and organizations across North America.

You’re overstimulated. They sat on the beach with their backs to the ocean, faces in their phones, watching someone else’s vacation. As Heather Henderson stood nearby, ready to capture the perfect Cabo moment, she realized we were promised more: more connection, freedom and possibility — not a life spent refreshing feeds. Handed devices before we were taught how to live with them, most of us inherited this algorithmic world. Notifications and recommendations began choosing for us until the choices no longer felt like choices, and we found ourselves scrolling through life instead of living it. The problem goes beyond screen time: unconscious time — moments we surrender without realizing the cost. Drawing from her years inside major tech companies, including Google and Uber, Heather Henderson invites readers to ask: “Did I choose this, or was it chosen for me?” If you feel wired but tired, connected but lonely, or busy but empty, this book examines how we lost presence — and guides us to reclaim it.

BENSON “When we first met a few months ago on Zoom, after listening to her, I dubbed Jennifer a “WW.” I use this judiciously. Wondrously Wise. She is the creator of the Impossible Shift, a transformation platform exploring identity, healing, and personal growth. Through her coaching, podcasts, and books, she shares deep reflective insights on survival and becoming the person you were meant to be. I discovered her depth, wisdom, and caring throughout this interview. Here is the thing. I worked for the world’s richest Italian for 25 years as a regional manager. I took 50 courses and learned a lot. I know stuff that works. I lived it. Jennifer’s journey and teachings work. She is real and charming. As I do in these intros, I'll share some ideas and words from Jennifer. To induce you to watch and even contact her. Choice is power. If you feel beliefs, you grow up with them. She led a church group but was still a mean girl. It made me feel better when I knocked them down. Kindness was foreign. We talked a lot about forgiveness. I have a problem with that. Jennifer was illuminating. You can’t give from an empty cup. One person makes a difference. Jennifer’s words and ideas are very necessary. Enough said.” Calvin ?️ 836+ Interviews & Videos; 5 ½ years (AI-ranked podcast in these categories in the top 1 -2% Globally!) ? 9,300 Subscribers — and growing ?
