065 | My Phone Addiction Is Stealing My Daughter's Childhood (And What I'm Doing About It)

You know that sinking moment when you realize you're in a million places at once but nowhere at the same time? Like you want to be present, but the feeling of 'being behind', 'having so many things to do', or justifying needing to be 'productive' when you're really just addicted to your phone.... yeah, me too. I've had that realization on repeat lately, and it's been hitting me like a freight train. In this raw episode, I'm sharing three wake-up calls that made me realize I'm stealing precious moments with my 8-year-old daughter and teaching her terrible habits about screens versus presence. This isn't perfectly packaged - this is me processing in real-time about restructuring my entire life and business around what I actually value. You'll hear about the heartbreak of half-listening while scrolling, why I'm questioning the social media narrative entirely, and the shift from manic busyness to intentional presence.
