About this listen
Ever caught yourself opening your phone… closing it… and reopening it 10 seconds later?
Yup. Been there. Done that. Probably did it this morning. 🙋♀️
If you’ve been wondering how to stop checking your phone all day long without even realizing it, this episode is for you. We’re getting soul-level honest about that reflexive reach and what to do instead. Because the constant checking? It’s not a moral failure. It’s a habit loop. And the same brain that learned it… can unlearn it.
You’ll discover how to interrupt the pattern without guilt, get curious about what your heart’s really seeking, and retrain your brain with grace and truth. We’re talking dopamine, Jesus, and practical steps you can actually take in the middle of your day (without throwing your phone in a drawer).
This one is tender, practical, and might just be your new favourite. Let’s break the habit loop.
What you’ll learn:
- Why phone checking becomes a habit loop
- 3 small, faith-filled steps to interrupt the urge
- How to spot the cue and disrupt your default
- Why your brain isn’t bad, it’s just looking for relief
- Soul-filling swaps that actually satisfy
- What Jesus offers that scrolling never can
- How to stop checking your phone in a way that’s sustainable and Spirit-led
