Does a Digital Detox Work? I turned my phone off for 7 days


Listen Later

Ever wondered what would actually happen if you turned your phone off for a week? Like, fully off—not just Do Not Disturb but buried-in-a-drawer kind of off?

This week I’m sharing the raw, messy, and (surprisingly emotional) truth about my 7-day digital detox. I thought I’d find peace and clarity… instead, I found panic, discomfort, and a whole lot of unexpected revelations.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • The uncomfortable truth no one warns you about when the notifications stop
  • How phone addiction masks deeper emotional avoidance
  • Sitting with big feelings when distraction isn’t an option
  • Nervous system reactions, grief, disconnection—and surprising joy
  • What I hoped would happen (and what really did)

Whether you’re considering a detox, feeling overwhelmed by digital noise, or just wondering how the heck to be more present in a world of constant pings, this episode is for you. Spoiler alert: the transformation wasn’t what I expected—but it was exactly what I needed.
