    24. Doomscroll Detox: Signs It's Time to Reduce Your Screen Time

    In this episode, I’m opening up about something that’s been a personal struggle for years—and I know I’m not alone in it: being constantly plugged in. I’ve worked in marketing for over a decade, which means screen time has pretty much always been part of my daily life. But even outside of work, I’ve found myself stuck in endless scroll cycles, picking up my phone for no reason, and wondering why I feel so mentally drained all the time. If you’ve ever felt the same, this conversation is for you. We’ll talk about the real effects screen time has on our brains, our moods, our nervous systems, and even our relationships. I’ll share what I’ve learned, what I’m still working on, and the little red flags I’ve noticed when I’ve gone too far down the digital rabbit hole. In this episode, I talk about: • Why our brains are overwhelmed by screen time (it’s not just in your head) • How dopamine and constant notifications keep us hooked • The emotional cost of being “always on” • What it means when we can’t stop checking our phones—even during downtime • The signs your nervous system is begging for a break & the app I'm using that helped decrease my screen time on my phone by 80%.

    21: Reclaiming Energy + Clarity With Marie Smith

    In this episode, we sit down with Marie Smith, the founder of Golden Hour Coaching, a certified health and life coach, wellness expert, and mom of five—who is passionate about helping people build lives that feel aligned and energizing. She shares her personal journey from feeling completely out of alignment to becoming a coach who empowers others to reconnect with themselves and design lives that work for them—not just look good on paper. Through powerful tools like the Clarity Catalyst course and her signature Energize Your Life program (geared especially toward working moms), she helps clients explore what truly nourishes them—mentally, physically, and emotionally. We explore the difference between balance and alignment, the myth of doing it all, and why it’s not about a one-size-fits-all plan, but about finding what works for you. You’ll also hear how tiny shifts—like micro-moments of mindfulness or movement—can make a big impact when life feels overwhelming.

I’m so glad to be back behind the mic after a much-needed break and even more excited to bring you this powerful first episode. Today, we’re diving into a topic that hits home for so many of us: balance. We’ve all been sold the dream that we can “have it all” if we just find the right formula.

In this episode, you’ll hear: Why the concept of balance can actually fuel burnoutHow to recognize the season you’re in AND honor itWhat it means to shift from spinning your wheels in the mud to living with more intentionHow to realign with where you are right now and get clear on your priorities Plus, I’ll share the book that helped reframe my entire perspective and a few journaling prompts that will help you check in with yourself and make space for what matters most. Journaling Prompts from Today’s Episode: 📝 What season of life am I in, and have I been honoring that? 📝 What are my top 3 priorities in this season, and what shifts do I need to make to support them? 📝 In what areas of my life am I forcing balance, and where can I embrace flow instead?
