Episode Summary

This one's for anyone who's tired of blaming themselves for a wandering mind and ready to learn what's actually going on up there.

Attention spans have gotten shorter and there is a reason for that. On this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, MommaFoxFire sits down with David McKee, founder of Another Angle Consulting and author of the upcoming book Navigate the Noise, to talk about why our brains are struggling to focus and what we can actually do about it.

David built his career on a hard truth. His father, a Methodist minister, was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and made choices that fractured the family when David was young. That experience became the foundation for how David now coaches creatives, executives and young adults through mental and emotional barriers, because he learned firsthand what it looks like when someone is running on stress, cortisol and no sleep.

The conversation covers a lot of ground. David breaks down the science of anger, explaining that a spike of emotion only lasts 75 to 90 seconds before anything beyond that becomes baggage we choose to carry. He talks about neuroplasticity and how something as small as brushing your teeth with your opposite hand can start rewiring the brain toward more flexible thinking. He explains why social media rewired attention spans for an entire generation and compares it to soda, fine in moderation but a problem when it becomes the only thing we consume.

David also gets personal about therapy, music and grief. He shares how he resisted therapy after a back injury forced him into treatment, and how that experience ended up changing his life. He talks about losing his mother in 2014 and the wrong way he handled it at first, pretending she was simply away instead of processing what actually happened. And he opens up about his ADHD diagnosis and a genetic test that revealed his body was only absorbing a fraction of the vitamin B12 he needed, a small discovery that explained years of exhaustion.

Throughout the episode, David keeps circling back to one idea. Mindset beats talent more often than people want to admit, and the people at the very top of their fields, from Michael Jordan to Michael Phelps, got there in part because they trained their minds the same way they trained their bodies. He gives practical, low lift tools listeners can start using immediately, from setting a timer on anger to simply changing your daily route to work.

This is a conversation about attention, but really it is about control. How much of our day do we actually run, and how much of it runs us. David and MommaFoxFire dig into generational differences in how we talk about mental health, why kids today are more open about therapy than previous generations ever were, and what it means to raise a generation that grew up with a phone in their hand.

If you have ever felt like your attention span is shorter than it used to be, or you are raising kids in a world that is constantly pulling their focus in ten directions, this episode is worth your time.
