In this episode, Miriah Feehery and Katherine Finley welcome Grace Murdock, who shares her journey of overcoming media addiction. Grace, a holistic midwife and coach, discusses how her relationship with social media became problematic, leading her to explore Media Addicts Anonymous, a 12-step program for media addiction. She reflects on the signs that alerted her to the issue, such as using her phone for comfort and feeling disconnected from her daughter. Grace also explores the negative impact media had on her self-esteem, focus, and personal relationships, particularly during the pandemic when her usage escalated.

The conversation then shifts to Grace’s 90-day media fast and her journey of self-discovery, including reconnecting with nature, creativity, and deepening her spiritual practice. As she becomes more present with her daughter and sharpens her intuition, she highlights the importance of navigating media consumption mindfully, especially in raising children in a media-saturated world. The episode ends with Grace’s reflections on the need for media education and the value of being present in the moment, urging listeners to reconsider their relationship with media for a more meaningful and connected life.
