Stop the Scroll: Why Scrolling Might Be Destroying Your Sleep, Focus, and Joy

What if one simple, everyday habit is stealing 20 years of your life? And more importantly—what if you could stop it today? In this episode of the Soul Aligned Self-Care Podcast, I dive deep into one of the biggest health saboteurs of our time: screen time. Inspired by a recent Mel Robbins podcast and a shocking statistic, I unpack how mindless scrolling affects our mental, emotional, and physical well-being—and what I'm doing to break the cycle. I’ll share: The science behind how excessive screen time affects your brain, hormones, mood, and sleep Why cutting back can significantly improve your health in just 3 weeks My personal plan for reducing screen time and reclaiming real presence What to do instead—plus, how to make it fun and doable Why this one shift can lead to more peace, productivity, and deeper connection ✨ Ready to get 20 years of your life back? 🎧 Tune in now and let’s start your digital detox for the soul. 💌 Plus, I invite you to join me over on Patreon for the 5-Day Soul Aligned Self-Care Reset, starting August 11th.
