CELL PHONE FASTING: Can You Do It?!

Is a Cell Phone Fast Realistic? Disconnect to Reconnect with strategies to limit tech and boost mental health. Let's dive into the idea of phone fasting—yes, actually taking a break from our phones—and we’re not holding back on whether it’s realistic. We share how phone use impacts mental health, strains family dynamics, and even pulls us away from the people who matter most. We’ll ask the questions that will help you create practical strategies for reducing tech dependency, building systems to manage phone usage, and reclaiming meaningful connections in a world that’s constantly buzzing. Let’s face it—disconnecting is tough, but we’re here to show you how to make it possible for you and your family.

We are striving to create a world-class podcast for parents of teen athletes and performers that is available for watching and listening on YouTube. We can also be found on the other usual places you get your podcasts like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. New episodes drop every Monday. We would be most grateful if you would SUBSCRIBE to our Podcast's YouTube channel where our unique show for parents of teen athletes and performers resides. We'd be even more grateful (if that's possible) if you would like, review, comment, and/or SHARE an episode or two with another parent of a teen athlete or performer. And...if you love the show, we would love it and be so grateful if you posted a glowing 5 star review along with sharing it with a few Parental Unit friends who would love it too. And as always, moms and dads, we're cheering you on as you Stop Parenting & Start Coaching! -Nate & Steve
