From Reactive to Intentional: Building a Healthier Relationship with Our Phones with Ruby Ryba

from Real Life Momz · host Lisa Foster

This week on the Real Life Momz Podcast, we talk with Ruby Ryba, a screen time strategist, author, and coach. We explore digital wellness and discuss how shifting from reactive scrolling to intentional phone use can transform our feelings, enhance our presence with our families, and help us model healthier tech habits.In this candid conversation, we aim to define what a healthy relationship with our phones looks like. Is there a disconnect between how we use our devices and our values? How comfortable would we feel stepping out the door for 30 minutes without our phones? We will share practical mindset shifts, simple boundaries, and real-life tips to reduce emotional attachment to our devices. By implementing these strategies, you can feel more in control, calmer, and more present.About Ruby Ryba:Website: http://howtostopscrolling.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rubyrybawrites/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruby-ryba-9102a554/About The Host: Lisa FosterWebsite:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.reallifemomz.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Real Life Momz on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/reallifemomz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Real Life Momz on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/reallifemomzpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@reallifemomzpodcast4048?si=jj5bQ_Afhyl0ZNi7⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
