Summer’s here! BBQs, iced coffee, slower mornings...and maybe a few too many hours lost to screens. If you've caught yourself scrolling through dinner, binging Netflix instead of resting, or reaching for your phone before your Bible, you’re likely not the only one!

Ever caught yourself opening your phone… closing it… and reopening it 10 seconds later?

Yup. Been there. Done that. Probably did it this morning. 🙋‍♀️

If you’ve been wondering how to stop checking your phone all day long without even realizing it, this episode is for you. We’re getting soul-level honest about that reflexive reach and what to do instead. Because the constant checking? It’s not a moral failure. It’s a habit loop. And the same brain that learned it… can unlearn it.

You’ll discover how to interrupt the pattern without guilt, get curious about what your heart’s really seeking, and retrain your brain with grace and truth. We’re talking dopamine, Jesus, and practical steps you can actually take in the middle of your day (without throwing your phone in a drawer).

This one is tender, practical, and might just be your new favourite. Let’s break the habit loop.

What you’ll learn:

• Why phone checking becomes a habit loop
• 3 small, faith-filled steps to interrupt the urge
• How to spot the cue and disrupt your default
• Why your brain isn’t bad, it’s just looking for relief
• Soul-filling swaps that actually satisfy
• What Jesus offers that scrolling never can
• How to stop checking your phone in a way that’s sustainable and Spirit-led

Hashtags: #ScreenFreeSaturday #DigitalWellness #OvercomeDigitalDistraction

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the relational ripple effect of digital distraction and how our habits aren’t just personal… they’re contagious. Whether you’ve been called out for scrolling mid-convo or you’ve sat across from someone glued to their screen while you’re pouring your heart out, you know the tension I’m talking about.

The truth? Most of us are living by unspoken digital agreements that are quietly normalizing disconnection. And unless we talk about them, they’re not going anywhere.

But there’s hope. Research, Scripture, and a whole lot of real-life stories show us that healthier, more connected relationships are totally possible. You just need the right conversations and a few practical tools to get there.

What You’ll Learn:

• The silent cultural “agreements” that normalize being half-present
• How screen habits are shaped within our relationships, not just individually
• Research that will totally change how you think about boundaries (seriously, 79% of couples never talk about them!)
• The 3-question self-inventory to identify where your relationships may be enabling distraction
• Grace-filled conversation starters for spouses, kids, friends, and coworkers
• Creative ways to create screen-free rhythms that rebuild connection and presence
• Why “sharpening each other” (Proverbs 27:17) sometimes means calling out the phone habit - with love

If you've ever wished your home, marriage, or friendships felt more present, more joyful, more real and screen free, this episode is for you.
