Description

So… I’ve been going screen-free after 9PM for seven days, and... it might be changing my life?? In this episode, I’m sharing the very real, very unexpected impact of putting my phone down at night. From cleaning my bedroom for the first time in actual months, to finally finishing a sexy fairy book (that I also hated), to waking up early with POSITIVE VIBES!? I’m hooked already.

I also talk about the one night I broke the rule, how gross I felt after, and why that slip actually proved how powerful this habit is. Oh, and yes, I had a little car scroll moment. Don’t judge me. I guess I'm fragile.

I get into how this no-screens thing has affected my sleep, parenting, workouts, mood, and how I process emotions (because turns out, when you stop scrolling, your feelings show up and want to be dealt with). Plus, I share a really sweet letter my son wrote me that totally broke and healed my heart at the same time.

If you’re thinking about cutting off screens at night, or just need a gentle nudge to do something good for your mental health, this one’s for you.

In this episode:

  • The wild productivity boost that came out of nowhere
  • What happened when I did scroll - and how I felt after
  • My search for sexy books that don’t involve blood or fairies
  • Journaling at night (and why I’m kind of into it now??)
  • A parenting win that reminded me I might be doing okay at this
