In this heartfelt episode of Beyond the Beautiful Chaos, Alisha invites listeners into her personal journey of living with less phone and more presence. Without judgment or pressure, she explores the emotional, practical, and deeply human reasons behind her decision to reduce her smartphone use—and the surprising freedom she’s discovered along the way.
Alisha opens up about the moment that sparked it all: trying to process a return on her phone while her children vied for her attention. From there, she reflects on the challenges of staying connected with family and friends while living far away, especially as her husband doesn’t use social media. She shares how she balances her desire to share her children’s lives online with her need for greater presence and peace in her day-to-day.
Listeners will hear honest reflections on the realities of motherhood, online life, and how small changes—like leaving the phone on the counter or turning off notifications—can make a big impact. Alisha doesn’t offer a prescription but rather an invitation to pause, notice, and reconnect with what matters most.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
