Boss Mom Era

Ep 8: Scrolling to relax is a myth


Listen Later

If like me, you thought scrolling is relaxing. Think again.

It might feel harmless, even deserved after a long day.

But in this episode, we're talking about something that could be quietly draining your energy without you evening realising.

Because scrolling isn't relaxation - it's information overload.

And as working mums balancing careers, businesses and family life.. we are already operating at full mental capacity.

So when you finally sit down and reach for your phone, it might feel like a break, but your brain is still working overtime.

In this episode, we unpack:

- Why scrolling leaves you feeling more tired, scattered and behind

- What your brain is really craving instead of more content

- How to turn everyday moments into real, restorative breaks (without needing more time)

- A simple awareness shift to help you break the scroll > overwhelm > scroll cycle

If you've ever picked up your phone for a 'quick break' and somehow felt worse after... this one's for you.
