No Screens After 9PM: Sleep, Sanity & Emotional Regulation (Week 1 Update)
Description
I’ve officially gone screen-free after 9PM for a whole week… and it might be changing my entire life??
In this episode, I’m breaking down the surprising (and honestly wild) impact of cutting off phone time before bed - from actually cleaning my room (shocking), to finishing a sexy fairy book (that I hated?), to waking up with positive vibes like some kind of morning person.
I also talk about:
- The night I broke the rule, and why it lowkey proved how powerful this habit is
- My mini car scroll moment (we’re all fragile, okay)
- How less screen time has boosted my productivity, improved my sleep, helped with emotional regulation, and made me feel like a more present parent
Oh, and there’s a letter from my son that had me ugly crying in the best way — this one's got heart.
🔑 Key things you'll find in this episode:
- How to stop doomscrolling at night
- Setting phone boundaries for better sleep
- Creating a night routine without screens
- Mental health and screen time
- Journaling before bed
- Parenting while healing (and trying your best)
