Writer, author, and online educator Hannah Brencher joins Blake to discuss her journey with unplugging from technology and the importance of finding a balance between being present online and in real life. She shares how burnout, particularly as a new mom during the pandemic, led her to embrace a lifestyle of unplugging, which she initially resisted but ultimately found necessary for her mental health. Hannah explains how her journey inspired her to start the "Thousand Hours Plugged" challenge and write a book on the subject. The conversation touches on the nuanced approach to technology use, the dangers of overconsumption, and the importance of setting boundaries to maintain mental and emotional well-being.



In this episode, you’ll be able to…


  • Understand the impact of overconsumption of digital content on mental health and well-being.
  • Explore practical tips for setting boundaries with technology to foster a healthier, more intentional lifestyle.
  • Discover the personal challenges and benefits experienced from unplugging from technology.
