In this episode, I’m sharing a personal journey I’ve been on to reclaim my time, focus, and presence—and how I’ve been using the Roots App to set healthier boundaries around screen time.
If you’ve ever found yourself mindlessly scrolling through your phone, feeling distracted even when you’re with your family, or constantly bouncing between apps and tasks, this episode is for you.
I talk openly about:
My own struggles with screen overuse (especially in motherhood)
Why our phones are wired to pull us in (and how it’s not your fault!)
The link between screen time and mental health, productivity, and even parenting
What I’ve learned from the Roots App and how it’s helped me retrain my brain
Why presence—not perfection—is the real goal
We also dive into some eye-opening research, including the “switch cost” effect, the Rat Park study, and how being bored again might actually be the secret to living a more meaningful life. If you’re craving more focus, clarity, and intention in your day-to-day—this episode will speak to you.
Thank you to Roots App for sponsoring this episode! This app has been a game-changer for helping me reduce screen time, be more present with my kids, and live more aligned with what actually matters.
🎧 Listen now and take the first step toward a more grounded, intentional life. Your time—and your attention—are worth protecting.
