Why Control Is Backfiring (feat. Prospect Hill’s Mark Roberge)

What happens when healthy habits stop being healthy?

In this episode of The Human Behind It, Michelle and Stephanie unpack orthosomnia and orthorexia — the obsessive side of sleep, food, and body tracking that can look healthy on the surface but actually create more stress, more disconnection, and less trust in yourself.

They talk about:

• the hidden cost of over-monitoring sleep, food, and movement
• why relying on devices can disconnect you from your body
• the illusion of control behind tracking everything
• what other countries seem to be doing differently when it comes to health, happiness, and pace of life

Then they sit down with Mark Roberge, drummer and founding member of Prospect Hill, for a conversation about what it really takes to stay in the game for decades. From industry setbacks to the mindset needed to keep going, Mark shares hard-earned perspective on success, resilience, community, and staying grounded in a world that constantly pushes you to chase the next thing.

They close with a Human Hotline question about chaotic sleep patterns, nighttime scrolling, and why so many people struggle to slow their minds down enough to rest.

This episode is about pressure, presence, and learning how to trust yourself a little more.
