Phubbing
from Okay Housewife Hosted by Okay Housewife
In this episode, we dive into the growing issue of phubbing- the act of snubbing someone in favor of your phone-and how its quietly impacting relationships everywhere. We start by discussing a 2024 study revealing that phubbing was actually listed as a contributing factor in divorce cases, a sign how digital distractions are reshaping connection and communication. Dacia and I (Karissa) get real about our own experiences, admitting that while we might not ignore our spouses often, we catch ourselves phubbing our kids. We unpack why its so easy to get lost in a scroll, even with the people who matter the most, and how that behavior sends unintentional messages about priorities and presence. We discuss our own simple strategies to break the habit so we can choose real connection over constant notifications. This episode is an honest reminder that being present isn't just about putting the phone down-its about showing up for the people we love.
