Black Friday wants your money. Your phone makes it almost effortless to give it away. But what if the real cost isn’t your bank account but your peace?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the psychology behind holiday marketing, especially the kind that targets you right on your phone. We’ll talk about why your screen is your biggest vulnerability this season, how shopping “deals” are engineered to hijack your attentio...

Have you ever convinced yourself you were being productive… while still glued to your screen for hours?

You're reading articles, watching tutorials, downloading podcasts and telling yourself this is different, because it's “educational.” But deep down… you’re avoiding the very thing you know God’s calling you to do.

Yeah. Been there. Still there some days.

It’s called procrasti-learning, and when I first heard that word, it was lik...

I recorded this episode during a quiet retreat where I finally had space to slow down, unplug, and listen. And it reminded me just how much noise we’ve come to accept from our screens. If you’ve been feeling scattered, edgy, or just not fully present in your own life, this is your reset moment.

These five everyday screen habits might seem small, but they quietly train your brain to live distracted. And when that becomes your norm, ...

Is Your Attention Being Stolen or Given Away?

You’ve built awareness. You’ve faced the hard truths. Today we’re going even deeper because it’s not just your time that’s being stolen.

It’s your focus. Your peace. Your presence.

Dopamine, Distraction, and the Quiet Voice of God

Is your phone running your day... or is dopamine?

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on the chemical that's silently driving your screen habits and showing you how to take back control. Dopamine isn’t just the “feel-good” chemical, it’s the reason you can’t stop checking your phone, chasing likes, or refreshing your inbox when you’re supposed to be focusing or praying.

But this...

You open your phone to check one news headline… and before you know it, you're three disasters deep, your chest is tight, your mood’s wrecked, and you’re wondering why you feel so heavy and anxious all the time.

That’s doomscrolling. And it’s not just a bad habit, it’s a brain trap.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why you keep reaching for bad news even when it leaves you drained, how it affects your mental and physical health...

Ever wondered what your screen time is actually feeding you? If you’re struggling with screen addiction, reaching for your phone without thinking, or feeling mentally drained after hours of scrolling, the problem might be what’s on your digital plate.

We talk a lot about carbs, calories, and cutting back on sugar...but when’s the last time you stopped to ask: What’s on my digital plate?

This episode will help you reframe your scree...

You’ve tried habit tracking with apps, journals, perfectly designed sheets, but two weeks in, you’re back to scrolling in bed at 6 am. What went wrong? It’s not willpower. You’re missing the brain science behind habit tracking and how to use a tracker during each phase of habit formation so it sticks for good.

In this episode, I walk you through why most habit trackers fail, what really makes a tracker powerful, and how to lean int...

You’ve heard it. Maybe even said it. “It takes 21 days to build a habit.” But what if that catchy little phrase is doing more harm than good?

In today’s episode, I’m busting one of the most popular (and damaging) myths about habit formation and replacing it with real, research-backed truth. Spoiler: 21 days is not the magic number.

Before I became a habit coach, I believed it too. I repeated it. I even built goals around it. But th...

Let’s just say it  -  you’ve probably taken your phone into the bathroom. 🙈 (We likely all have. Some of us even scroll through Scripture in there.)

But it’s not just a weird little habit. It’s a window into what’s happening in your brain, your identity, and even your heart.

In this episode, I’m unpacking why it’s so hard to leave your phone in another room and how this small, everyday behaviour quietly fuels digital distraction a...

Ever feel like you just can’t stop scrolling… but can’t explain why? It’s not just your willpower failing. In this episode, I unpack the sneaky brain science behind why you keep reaching for your phone and why social media was designed to keep you stuck in “seeking mode” with no satisfying end in sight.

Your brain was wired for endings… and social media was built to never give you one. There’s no bottom to the feed. You scroll. Ref...

This episode is part two of last week’s conversation where we looked at scripture-shaped prayers to calm a distracted mind.

But these new verses? They go deeper. In our always-on culture, it's easy to stay busy and digitally distracted enough that we never face what's really going on in our hearts. We scroll to avoid, consume content to numb out, and sometimes stay digitally busy to prevent difficult conversations with God.

These n...

What do you pray when your mind won’t settle? When your brain is buzzing and your soul feels scattered, you don’t need another digital wellness hack. You need peace. Real peace. And that starts with scripture-shaped prayers.

In this episode, I’m walking you through 4 powerful scripture prayers that help anchor your mind when you feel distracted, overwhelmed, or spiritually foggy. These aren’t magic formulas, they’re biblical truth ...

Ever feel like you’re dating five needy people at once… except they’re named Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Pinterest? Yeah. No wonder you’re exhausted.

In this episode, I share a surprisingly fun way to break your compulsive “open-close-open-close” scrolling habit called Social Media Speed Dating. It’s not about quitting everything cold turkey, it’s about finding the one social media app that’s actually worth your time...

Ever wish you could just raise your hand mid-podcast and ask, “Wait, but what about…?”

That’s exactly what we’re doing today.

For the first time on Overcome Digital Distraction, I’m answering listener questions, the ones you’ve been emailing, DMing, and quietly wondering about.

We’re getting real about:

1. Using social media without feeling drained or distracted Spoiler: the key boundary happens before you even open the app.

2. Why...

Ever sat down for dinner and realized… no one’s actually there? The forks are clinking, the plates are being passed but eyes are glued to screens, minds are miles away, and conversation is replaced with the dreaded “Fine.”

If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. I’m sharing my simple Five-Step Dinner Table Reset, a framework to help you reclaim mealtimes as sacred space for connection, conversation, and even spiritual for...

How often do your phone notifications pull you away from what matters most?

You’re mid-conversation, mid-prayer, or finally making progress on a project—then ping. Just like that, your peace evaporates, your body tenses, and your brain shifts into reactive mode. It happens dozens of times a day.

In this episode, I’m sharing practical ways to turn off notifications that don’t deserve your attention, without missing the ones that do...

Ever feel physically tired but mentally wired when your head hits the pillow?

You’re not crazy—and it’s not just stress. 

It’s probably blue light.

Yep. The invisible kind glowing from your phone, your TV, even your overhead lights is hijacking your brain’s ability to rest. It suppresses melatonin, confuses your circadian rhythm, and leaves you wide awake at midnight wondering what’s wrong with you.

In this episode I break down exa...

In this episode, we flip the script on boredom—and reveal why it might just be the secret weapon you’ve been missing when it comes to breaking bad digital habits.

Sounds too simple? Maybe. But that “I’m bored” feeling isn’t random —it’s a signal. A quiet nudge from your brain and your soul that you’re overdue for something deeper than distraction.

Most of us treat boredom like a problem to fix. We fill the gap with noise, scrolling...
