Show notes:

Are you spending too much time on your phone? Do you feel overly connected to your digital life and disconnected from your real life? Well, buckle up ladies, because we are discussing this topic and hitting it from EVERY angle this season, beginning today with Hannah Brencher. She is the author of the book: The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World. She is so full of wisdom and grace. I can’t wait for you to hear this interview. And just FYI: This is part 1 of a 2-part conversation. Listen in.

We discuss:

Hannah’s hope for this book (which is also my hope for this entire podcast season!)
The God moment when Hannah realized her digital consumption had gone too far
How her over-use of tech was affecting her spiritual health
The “growing disconnect” that happens when our relationships are mostly online
The premise of her 1,000 Unplugged Hours Challenge (and a caveat!)
The shame of using “Screen Time” on your phone
How to determine what “unplugged” means to you (and for Sandy, “unplugged” = watching Gilmore Girls)
How Hannah made social media fun again
The REAL reason Sandy won’t use TikTok (but why she will totally watch Carpool Karaoke)
