    WIRED Changed How I Show Up For My Son

    Dr. Katie Brockert shares how she found herself reaching for her phone during every quiet moment, at home, in social situations, and most painfully, while her young son played beside her. After installing app blockers that she'd immediately override, she knew something deeper was going on. Through the Wired program, Katie had a breakthrough realization: she wasn't just scrolling mindlessly, she was using her phone to suppress emotions, a pattern she'd carried since childhood. That moment of awareness, she says, felt like "water being splashed on my face." In this episode, we talk about: How postpartum life amplified her relationship with her phoneUsing scrolling as emotional avoidance, and the moment she connected the dotsThe shift she noticed in the 4–8 PM witching hour with her sonHow her son's behavior changed as she became more presentWhy she believes everyone thinks they don't have a phone problem, and why they're wrongFinding the "happy medium" with technology instead of going all-or-nothingFavorite quote: "I don't know anybody who's like, 'I feel amazing after they've doom scrolled for two hours.'" If you've ever wondered whether your phone use is quietly pulling you away from the life you actually want, this one's for you.

    Real Reason You Can't Stop Scrolling

    Okay you guys, this one is so good and I think it's going to hit for a lot of you. This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with one of my clients, and honestly? The awareness she showed blew me away. We've been working together on identifying the emotions that are actually driving her actions throughout the day, and what she shared with me was just chef's kiss in terms of how much she's grown. We're talking about the two to three day benders. You know what I mean. The doom scrolling, the eating like garbage, the canceling plans, the not wanting to do anything. And I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell everyone, your phone is not the problem. The apps are not the problem. The problem is the emotion underneath all of it that nobody is actually helping you identify or deal with. Blocking apps, locking your phone in a drawer, deleting Instagram for a month none of that is fixing what's actually going on. And I think deep down, most of you already know that. We're getting into: Why your scrolling habit is really just an unmet need in disguiseWhat my client's story taught me about the power of self-awarenessWhy willpower-based fixes will always make the urge worseWhat it actually looks like to have a neutral relationship with your phoneThere is nothing wrong with you. There is just an emotion that nobody has helped you figure out yet. Let's change that. Want to join the 243 people on the WIRED waitlist?   https://mnmfitnessco.kartra.com/page/wired-waitlist

    Self-Aware as hell...& STILL stuck

    Okay… this is gonna be a little unhinged, because I had this realization like… oh. I didn’t not do the work… I just did a shit ton of work that didn’t actually change anything. Like I could explain all my patterns, I could connect every single dot imaginable AND tell you why I was spiraling..... while....actively still spiraling.  LOL So this episode is me basically calling that out. I talk about:  how I spent years being “self-aware” but still stuck in the same cycles  why healing actually feels like shit (and the second it does, we go find a new thing to try)  the difference between understanding yourself… and actually not letting your emotions hijack you  and how my brain STILL sometimes freaks out when I’m resting like “hi yes something is definitely wrong???” Also I said something in here that I can’t stop thinking about: it used to feel like my emotions would grab me by the ponytail and just drag me around all day, & now… they show up…but they don’t have hands anymore. Which sounds nice…until you realize you now have to SIT THERE AND FEEL IT. Anyway. If you’ve been on a “healing journey” for years and you’re like “why do I still feel like this???” Hit play & spend 15 minutes with me today.

    More, Ugly Crying, 3rd Person

    This one cracked me open a little. I’m in a season I’ve never been in before… where I’m not chasing more in the way I always have, and honestly, I don’t fully recognize myself here yet. In this episode, I share:  what it’s been like to feel my inner critic get quieter… and how unsettling that actually is  how I used to chase achievement to feel enough, and why that doesn’t drive me the same way anymore  the weird, uncomfortable feeling of contentment  and the daily tension between the version of me that wants to push… and the version of me that just wants to be I cried in this one. I laughed in this one. I’m still figuring it out in real time. But this is what it looks like for me right now.

    “But Kate, What if I Fail?”

    WIRED: https://www.mnmfitnessco.com/wired This one’s a bit of a rant… but it needed to be said. After hearing multiple people say they’re afraid of failing, I’m breaking down what’s actually going on underneath that fear, and why it’s keeping you stuck. Inside this episode:  why you don’t need fear to go away before making a decision  how your brain is wired to fixate on worst-case scenarios  the real reason change feels so hard (even when your current patterns suck)  and what it actually looks like to move forward with fear still in the passenger seat If you’ve been sitting on a decision because you’re scared it won’t work… this is your nudge.

    A Hard Season of Marriage ❤️

    WIRED: https://www.mnmfitnessco.com/wired This episode started with me painting my nails… and turned into one of the biggest realizations about burnout I’ve had. I share a season where I felt completely disconnected, from my husband, my energy, and honestly myself, and the unexpected moment that snapped me out of it. Inside this episode:  why burnout doesn’t make your brain shut down… it actually speeds it up  the real reason “rest” doesn’t work when you’re exhausted  what your brain actually needs to get out of survival mode  and how one small shift completely changed my ability to connect again If you’re tired, overstimulated, and wondering why nothing is helping… this will click.

    A Passion Crash-Out (Explicit)

    WIRED:  https://www.mnmfitnessco.com/wired This episode is a full-on passion crash out, I hit record because I couldn’t not say this, and I mean every word of it. I’m talking about the thing so many of you are doing, asking for help, but not actually letting yourself receive it. Inside this one:  why it feels so uncomfortable to be supported (even when you need it)  how hyper-independence keeps you stuck, exhausted, and overwhelmed  the real reason your brain resists help (hint: it’s not about timing)  and what it actually takes to start letting people show up for you This is blunt, a little aggressive, and coming straight from lived experience. If you know you need support but keep finding reasons not to take it…well, you know what to do.

    Almost Losing My Business

    WIRED: https://www.mnmfitnessco.com/wired I almost lost my business… and nothing was actually wrong.
