How to Unplug and Thrive in a Overly Connected World with Hannah Brencher


Listen Later

Welcome back! We are with the amazing Hannah Brencher today. If you heard her on Smart Girl Summer, you have a little taste already of what we're going to talk about. 

What does it look like to unplug? What does it look like to get your life back? What does it look like to get control over this crazy phone addiction that we all have? Now, don't worry. I'm not going to tell you to throw your phone out the window. But I also believe that we want to be smart. We want to be strategic because we are all working to live the life God has for us, and Hannah is going to help us today.

Hannah Brencher is the founder of More Love Letters (leaving letters for strangers), a TED speaker, an entrepreneur, an author, and an online educator.  Hannah teaches people to establish important disciplines through her fantastic online courses and doesn’t shy away from tough topics like mental illness. 

In her new book, The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World, Hannah demonstrates how powering down changed her entire life. The Unplugged Hours gives you the practical ideas and spiritual inspiration you need to stop scrolling and start living.

Join Hannah and I as we talk about:

  • Why we are afraid of unplugging
  • Finding a balance between life online and offline
  • Practical ways to start implementing unplugged hours
  • Ways to use social media in healthy ways
  • Favorite Quotes: 
    • 03:32 - “We have a bundle of emotions. There are a bunch of them, usually all conflicting with each other.”
  • 11:47 - “It starts with naming. Naming is simply asking yourself what is going on inside myself right now. What am I feeling right now?”
  • 12:28 - “The reason I chose the title, I Shouldn’t Feel This Way, is because that is often the first thing we notice. We noticed we are feeling something we shouldn’t.”
  • 14:43 - “Get curious about yourself and show yourself the same benefit of curiosity that we show our friends, kids, and other people.”
