PUBLIC EVENTS
Tanya is a trailblazing author, pioneering thinker and campaigner on digital wellbeing and tech ethics, and founder of the digital detox movement Time to Log Off.
“The pandemic’s wake-up call is that it has given us a glimpse of a future lived almost entirely through screens, isolated from those we love, growing lonelier and more disconnected day by day. We must urgently reset our relationship with tech.”
Tanya Goodin
DIGITAL DETOX SPEAKER
Tanya is a highly experienced digital detox speaker, and speaker on digital wellbeing and tech-life balance, at literary and wellness festivals, in-store events, product and press launches and public events of all kinds.
Tanya’s clients range from festival organisers and sponsors, media companies, fitness and wellness brands, PR agencies, travel and hospitality companies, and event venue owners large and small.
She specialises in digital detox, digital wellbeing, wellness in the age of the smartphone and building a healthy, happy, relationship with technology.
RECENT PUBLIC TALKS
Talks as a digital detox speaker, and digital wellbeing evangelist, include:
- ‘Getting a better balance with screens’
- ‘It’s complicated – untangling our relationship with tech’
- ‘How to log off’
- ‘Digital detox for a better life’
- ‘How to break up with your phone’
- ‘Wellness in the age of the smartphone’
During the pandemic Tanya’s public talks were given onscreen webinar style, but she is very much looking forward to getting back to face-to-face public speaking as we emerge from pandemic restrictions.
Tanya is experienced in talking to very large audiences, up to over 3,000, at festivals and events but she also enjoys smaller audiences where there is more opportunity for engagement and participation. Tanya’s speaking style is relaxed and entertaining, drawing out some of the humour of our over-connectedness with technology, and she focuses on giving plenty of practical tips to improve the audience’s relationship with their devices. She is also very happy to do book readings and book signings at events where requested.
“The feedback we have had from Tanya’s session was just how brilliant she was. The host found her professional and knowledgeable, other sources have told us that they felt they got lots of takeaways with lots of top tips. It was also incredibly well attended.”

"We have had some fantastic feedback from Tanya’s talk at the Big Retreat Festival, a few stating it has been life-changing for them. I really hope she can join us again next year!"
Co-Founder, The Big Retreat
"A dynamic and engaging presenter, Tanya interacted fabulously with our audience, the majority of which did not have English as a first language. Tanya is clearly an expert in her field and passionate about this topic. We admired the personable manner in which she gave practical advice and attainable steps towards changing children’s digital habits, before it reaches the stage of addiction. Tanya’s insightful and humorous reminders of our own poor digital habits were relevant to everyone in the room.”

"It was a pleasure to have Tanya hosting a digital detox talk in our flagship store. Mixing hard facts and figures with a realistic pragmatism and practical advice on how to operate in today’s digital world but ensure our creativity and energy isn’t impact it was highly engaging and really enjoyed (and put to use) by our guests."

BOOKS
Tanya is the author of three books on our complicated relationship with technology:
‘My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open’, ‘Off.’ and ‘Stop Staring at Screens’ are all out now.
My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open
“Highly readable…attainable and realistic ways to reduce technology use and alleviate the burdens it can place on us as individuals and on our relationships.”
OFF: Your Digital Detox for a Better Life
"She presents simple ideas alongside practical suggestions for how to implement them - leaving you inspired and motivated by the end."
Stop Staring at Screens!
"Perhaps the best compliment I can pay this is that as soon as I started reading this, my 13-year-old son started looking over my shoulder, and in short order said, "I want to read this as soon as you're done. And I want to do this."
