Joe Wicks on the moment he decided to become a ‘phone-free dad’

In this clip from The Independent’s Well Enough podcast with Emilie Lavinia, Joe Wicks reflects on the moment he decided to become a phone-free dad.

The fitness instructor explains how giving himself a two-hour phone ban every night has changed his relationship to his children and improved his overall wellbeing.

“It's reminded me of who I wanna be,” Wicks says. “It's really, really, really powerful. 'cause otherwise you're rushing dinner, you're rushing bath time, you're rushing story time.”
