Meet Deb Bella

Deb

Welcome to The Quiet Webcast – Notes from the other side of the Feed. I’m Deb—and in each episode, we’ll slow down just enough to notice what’s changing around us. Technology evolves fast. But the deeper shifts? They're in how we relate to each other, and ourselves. This podcast is a place to reflect on what digital life is doing to emotional life—connection, attention, kindness, presence. We’re not here to complain or glorify the past. We’re just trying to ask better questions. The Quiet Webcast lives inside The Quiet Web — A slower, more human corner of the internet. Learn more at thequietweb dot C-O

Bella

And I’m Bella. I’ve pretty much lived online my whole life—and sometimes I wonder what that’s doing to us too. Oh—and Deb here? She’s my mom. We don’t always see things the same way. But we’re both here to figure it out. Together.

Deb

Oh yeah, she scrolls a lot...I pause. She reacts...and I reflect. But we both care about what’s real—and what might be getting lost along the way.

Bella

So if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or just quietly curious… We’re glad you’re here.
