Screens are everywhere - our phones, our kids’ devices, the endless noise of background TV - and sometimes it feels impossible to step away. In this episode of Mucked Up My Self-Care, Jill and Linda get real about the messy, imperfect process of setting digital boundaries for themselves and their kids. From bedtime routines to doom-scrolling traps, they share the highs, lows, and lessons of trying to find balance between technology and true self-care.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why screen time can feel both like a lifesaver and an energy drain for moms
• How Jill and Linda handle screen time differently with toddlers, tweens, and teens
• The role of boundaries in protecting your peace, especially around noise and overstimulation
• Why digital boundaries are self-care, not just rules
• Simple strategies like “Do Not Disturb” mode, non-digital self-care blocks, and limiting device access
• How to reframe screen use into intentional connection and creativity

Digital boundaries aren’t about perfection, they’re about protecting your peace and being intentional with how screens show up in your family life. Whether it’s cutting off phone use at night, making space for non-digital self-care, or navigating kids’ ever-growing appetite for technology, Jill and Linda remind us that boundaries create room for more presence, calm, and connection.

Until next week, we hope you can unstuck your muck! 💛
