It’s Not You, It’s Your Screen: Burnout, Boundaries & the Digital Detox

In today’s personal solo episode, I’m unpacking the real effects of digital burnout, overstimulation, and the constant noise we absorb from our screens. If you’ve ever felt emotionally drained, creatively blocked, or just not yourself after endless scrolling… you’re not alone! I’m sharing my own journey with screen fatigue, the signs you might be missing, and how I’m resetting with micro digital detox habits without quitting social media completely. Plus, I’m giving you a 48-hour challenge that could change your relationship with your phone and your peace of mind.
