The Podcast Where Faith & Digital Wellness Meet
**Top 5% Globally Ranked Podcast**

Is your phone controlling your life, pulling you in every direction, leaving you feeling disconnected and overwhelmed? Are screens stealing your time, diluting your faith, and distorting your focus?

Maybe you feel stuck in a habit loop, lost in mindless distraction and information overload when you were made for so much more! Excessive screen time is among the most challenging habits people want to break—and for good reason. Too much time on screens doesn't just waste hours, it quietly steals your focus, drains your energy, hijacks your sleep, and crowds out the very things that matter most.

I know the frustration of wanting to change my screen habits but not knowing where to start, and I've helped many others through this exact struggle.

I'm Julianne August, a Christian life coach and digital wellness advocate. With 25 years of leadership experience and certifications in life coaching, habit change, and brain health, here's what I know: habit change is heart change - that's where real transformation happens. I’m passionate about equipping Christians leading in this generation, who are positioned for influence and impact, with the tools they need to overcome digital distraction and build healthy habits that actually stick.

On this podcast, we'll dive deep into practical strategies, rooted in biblical principles, to help you reduce screen time without guilt, frustration, or rigid rules. You'll discover the power of habits, learn simple habit stacking techniques, and learn how to rewire your brain for lasting change—one step at a time.

In our digital world, it's easy to feel half-hearted about your faith and values when you're constantly battling phone addiction. Whether you want to stop checking social media, limit screen time, or declutter your digital life, I'll help you set boundaries that protect your peace and create space to slow down, think deeply, and breathe again.

This isn't just about going unplugged with your cell phone—it's about breaking free from limiting beliefs and building healthy habits to reduce screen time and reclaim your focus. You weren't meant to live distracted.

It's time to Overcome Digital Distraction!

    30 | 3 Listener Questions on Digital Distraction (That You're Probably Wondering Too)
    Aug 19 2025

    Ever wish you could just raise your hand mid-podcast and ask, “Wait, but what about…?”

    That’s exactly what we’re doing today.

    For the first time on Overcome Digital Distraction, I’m answering listener questions, the ones you’ve been emailing, DMing, and quietly wondering about.

    We’re getting real about:

    1. Using social media without feeling drained or distracted Spoiler: the key boundary happens before you even open the app.

    2. Why your mind feels constantly “on” — even during prayer or Bible reading Hint: your brain’s been trained for constant novelty. But you can re-train it for stillness.

    3. Breaking free from screen time guilt Because Jesus never measures your faithfulness by your weekly screen report.

    This episode is part heart-to-heart, part practical strategy session, plus a little truth talk about grace vs. guilt that might just change the way you see your screen habits forever.

    So grab your coffee (or your earbuds for a walk) and join me for this honest, encouraging conversation.
