“One of the main appeals of Navigate is the idea of being able to assess what’s serving me and what’s not and find the enthusiasm to move towards my goals.”
- Chris Beard, IT professional at Oxford University
“Navigate continually reminds me of what really matters.”
“I've also been listening to the podcast which is an excellent companion to the Navigate membership. Christina interviews so many people immersed in these ideas that it’s been helpful for extra tips and ideas.”
"Navigate's made me realize I need to go cold turkey for a week just to experience how much time I lose to attention-monopolizing apps, and to reorient my habit of checking every time I open a device."
"It's helping me refocus on what I value most."
“I love rewatching the inspiring videos.”
“It helps me stay off Facebook.”
“I was looking for a 12-step program to help me with my addiction to social media and, Voila! Navigate has been this for me.”
“I've been really impressed with the quality of the content in Navigate.”
“I must also tell you when I did the last module, and read that Rebecca, Navigate’s community manager, doesn't have any social media accounts, I wept with relief. Not that I can totally walk away, but jezuz murphy, I know so few people who aren't addicted to their phones. And yes, they are missing out. And now I ask myself: Is this life-giving or is this life-taking? It's very sobering at how much happens, how much I do, that is life-stealing. It's given me a sense of power to make tiny, tiny, yet bedrock changes. Transformative.”
- Christy-Ann Conlin, award-winning novelist and CBC radio host
"My favourite part of Navigate is the monthly call because it makes me feel like I’m part of a community where I can share and ask for help. Other programs underestimate the importance of interaction on a regular basis. Navigate has someone literally guiding you, giving you support. Having this regular commitment has helped me build more discipline."
- Juliana Didier, college instructor
“I implemented just the tiniest bit of Navigate ideas this week and my screen time report was down 23%. So exciting.”
“Navigate is helping a lot to think about this: to focus on my values but, at the same time, balance the inner voices.”
“I love my monthly reminders in the mail.”
“The Navigate new member package is beautiful. You have thought through this so well. Did some intuition playing with the values cards and found they can also be used to discover my shoulds and fears and blocks.”
“The beautiful membership package arrived today and completely made my week! I catch up with the brilliant sessions in between work and writing my thesis. Thank you so much!”
- Louise Mullagh, Senior Research Associate, Lancaster University
“I have a very clear memory of discovering Christina’s book at my school’s library and literally my brain melting from the phrase “joy of missing out.” It changed my perspective immensely because I realized I have power against technology. That’s IMPACT, Christina inspires me.”
“Navigate made me realize I need to go cold turkey for a week just to experience how much time I lose to attention-monopolizing apps, and to reorient my habit of checking every time I open a device. It also helped me see that I need to *seriously* purge on the podcast subscriptions. There's a subtle but noticeable weight of obligation I have to them - all this information I could/should take in. But a lot of it is noise when music and simple quiet are actually pieces of shaping my environment at home (or in my car) into spaces of presence.”
