Hello my friend,
Have you noticed people are quietly rebelling against the internet?
Like legitimately tired of it.
There’s a shift happening. We want our lives back.
I know I have been headed down that path the last several months and I'm noticing others take serious steps toward putting down their phones and truly stepping away and touching grass again.
That is one of the many things I admired about Jamie when we spoke recently. Jamie was never on the smartphone bandwagon. She led with discernment and kept her flip phone all these years. I admire that.
This week’s conversation may challenge you more than you expect. Jamie Saechao from gingerhomemaking.com and I dove deeper into boundaries, especially when it comes to technology.
Ep 16 | Homeschooling and Working From Home Without Burnout: Boundaries, Screens, and Sustainable Rhythms
In this episode, we talk about:
• Setting tech boundaries without feeling extreme
• How Jamie runs a business without a smartphone
• Why limiting screens creates more creative kids
• What “sustainable rhythms” and boundaries actually look like
If you feel pulled by your phone more than you'd like, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
You can listen here — or, if you prefer to read, I pulled the biggest takeaways into this post.
Our screens are quietly stealing opportunities for creativity, rest, and connection.
If you feel like opportunities have been snatched out from under you by your screen habits, you aren't alone. We've all been there. Awareness is the first step for us to make lasting change.
This isn’t about going backwards. It’s about wielding discernment.
Tell me, do you think you could ever switch to a flip phone? Hit reply, I read all your emails!
Cheering you on,
