If you’ve ever felt drained, restless, or overwhelmed after spending too much time on your phone or laptop, you’re not imagining it. As HSPs and introverts, our nervous systems process every bit of input more deeply, which means screens can quickly push us into overstimulation.
In this episode, I’m digging into why this happens and sharing practical ways to reset. You’ll learn how to build small screen-free pauses into your day, plan longer detoxes when you need them, and even use journaling as a powerful substitute to help you calm your system and reflect on how screens impact your emotions.
If you’ve been craving more peace, clarity, and energy, this conversation will help you create a healthier rhythm with technology.
