Digital sovereignty (3/3): Are European citizens trapped into using US Big Tech?

Digital sovereignty (3/3): Are European citizens trapped into using US Big Tech?

Published by Sam Flores

Digital sovereignty in Europe is not just an issue for states and companies. “We’ve had almost 8,000 participants who’ve signed up for the campaign in less than a month. That’s more than we were expecting,” said Bergliot Christensen, who took part in the launch in early January of the Danish initiative Digital Stemme (“Digital Voice”), which aims to help individuals regain control of their digital lives from the Big Tech giants. “We launched our initiative on January 1, right around the time that US President Donald Trump started accelerating his rhetoric about invading Greenland,” Christensen said.

Are You Trapped in a Golden Cage?

Are You Trapped in a Golden Cage?

Published by Jenni Sidey

Many of the people I work with as a burnout coach tell themselves a golden-cage story. On paper, their jobs and lives might look good. And yet, they are exhausted, dissatisfied, and quietly desperate for more time, energy, and freedom. They long for a different rhythm of life – but feel financially trapped. The story they tell themselves goes like this: It would be reckless, even irresponsible, to leave this job. I have too much to pay for. I can’t afford to step back. I have to keep up my standard of living. Over the years, our expenses tend to rise in tandem with our salaries. Mortgages or eye-watering inner-city rents, childcare, holidays, beauty treatments, streaming subscriptions, and the many quiet costs of maintaining a particular standard of living all accumulate. In a cost-of-living crisis, this pressure becomes even more acute. The result is a creeping sense of financial entrapment with little wriggle room. What makes this especially tragic is that many of us are too stressed, exhausted, and time-poor to enjoy what we have …

The Lie That Keeps Potentially Successful People Trapped, And 7 Ways To Escape

The Lie That Keeps Potentially Successful People Trapped, And 7 Ways To Escape

Published by Jenni Sidey

As a cognitive scientist, Dr. Maya Shankar knows the obstacles that stand between people and their dreams. She also knows how people overcome them.  During an episode of the Getting Open podcast, Dr. Shankar told host Andrea Miller that most successful people fear change. After all, things have worked well for them thus far, and they’re afraid that if they don’t maintain a high level of control over everyone and everything that surrounds them, it could all fall apart.  This isn’t only true for successful people, it affects the rest of us, as well. Even for those of us who are happy in our day-to-day lives, who don’t have huge dreams, it can be scary to let go of control. To find peace, the people who succeed in career as well as in their relationships, learn how to let go of control and allow things like hob losses, health setbacks, and relationship shifts to help them grow and innovate new solutions.  How to escape the lie that keeps successful people trapped:  1. Understand the illusion …

Do You Feel Trapped? How to Break Out

Do You Feel Trapped? How to Break Out

Published by Jenni Sidey

Maybe it’s a job you hate or that no longer gives you satisfaction. Or an intimate relationship where the emotional connection has long since frayed, and you’re now living parallel lives. Or, perhaps a friendship that was once vital but has now been downgraded to an acquaintance at best, or one that’s unbalanced, with only your periodic outreach keeping it alive. But if you feel trapped in the job or the relationship, it’s like being stuck at the bottom of a well. It’s all too easy to give up, and when you do, you get depressed. It’s also easy to feel anxious, always walking on eggshells, keeping up a front, fearful of being discovered. If you watch those YouTube videos where 80-year-olds reflect on their lives and share their lessons, they always focus on the same themes: Life is short, don’t waste the time you have; be bold, take risks, don’t settle—the “wish-I-had-eaten-more-ice-cream-and-less-beans” philosophy. These wise ones say the key to a fulfilling life is not letting fear hold you back. Easier said than done. …
