How I Set Up My Phone To Support Me in Survival Mode [Episode 377]

When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to reach for your phone as an escape. A quick scroll can numb the stress for a moment, but before you know, hours are gone, your energy is drained, and the problems are still waiting.

In this episode of the Thriving in Motherhood Podcast, I share how I re-designed my phone to actually support me in a survival season (postpartum, homeschooling, and juggling life with five kids). Instead of pulling me away from what matters, it now helps me stay anchored in the essentials.

I’ll walk you through:

• Why your phone might be keeping you stuck in survival mode

• The simple changes I made to protect my priorities

• How the three pillars of thriving (scope, structure, and soul) apply even to smartphone use

• Practical ways to create a system that keeps you focused on what matters most

If you’ve ever felt like your phone is running your life instead of helping it, this episode will give you new hope (and some concrete strategies) for making technology work for you.
