What happens when a modern mom gives up her smartphone?

In this honest and eye-opening episode of Motherhood Made Simple, I’m sharing what the past six weeks have been like living without a smartphone. From the daily inconveniences to the surprising freedoms, I’ll walk you through what I’ve gained, what I’ve missed, and how stepping away from constant connection gave me back something I didn’t expect: time.

If you’ve ever felt glued to your phone, overwhelmed by notifications, or just tired of being constantly on, this episode offers a refreshing perspective. You’ll hear what changed in my parenting, mindset, and day-to-day routines—and why I don’t think I’ll ever go back the same way.

Whether you're curious about digital minimalism, craving more presence in motherhood, or just wondering if it's really possible to live without a smartphone in today’s world, this one’s for you.

Tune in and be inspired to rethink your relationship with your phone—and reclaim your time.
