No Screens After 9PM: Sleep, Sanity & Emotional Regulation (Week 1 Update)

Season 4 Episode 6

I’ve officially gone screen-free after 9PM for a whole week… and it might be changing my entire life??

In this episode, I’m breaking down the surprising (and honestly wild) impact of cutting off phone time before bed - from actually cleaning my room (shocking), to finishing a sexy fairy book (that I hated?), to waking up with positive vibes like some kind of morning person.

I also talk about:

The night I broke the rule, and why it lowkey proved how powerful this habit is
My mini car scroll moment (we’re all fragile, okay)
How less screen time has boosted my productivity, improved my sleep, helped with emotional regulation, and made me feel like a more present parent

Oh, and there’s a letter from my son that had me ugly crying in the best way — this one's got heart.

🔑 Key things you'll find in this episode:

How to stop doomscrolling at night
Setting phone boundaries for better sleep
Creating a night routine without screens
Mental health and screen time
Journaling before bed
Parenting while healing (and trying your best)

If you’re thinking of setting a no screens rule at night or just need a cozy, encouraging listen to nudge you into a better habit... this is your sign 💫

💬 In this episode:

Why I’m screen-free after 9pm (and kinda obsessed)
The gross feeling of breaking my own rule
A weirdly productive week
How I discovered sexy fairy books were not for me
Parenting wins that hit deep
