Why the Lock-In Works (and Why You Can Begin Today)

Feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or like life has been moving just a little too fast?
You’re not alone — and that’s exactly why The Lock-In became one of the biggest wellness trends this year. But here’s the part most people don’t realize: you don’t need to start in September. You can begin your lock-in today.

In this cozy, grounding episode of Thursday Tea with Sami, Dr. Samia Estrada dives deep into the psychology and practicality behind the lock-in — a gentle, intention-based reset built on tiny habits that nourish your nervous system, not drain it.

You’ll learn:

✨ What the lock-in really is (and why it exploded across social media)
✨ Why starting in November, December — or any random day — can actually be more powerful
✨ How micro-habits help stabilize your mind and body
✨ The role of analog wellness in calming the nervous system
✨ Small, realistic ways to begin your own digital detox
✨ Simple habit-anchoring strategies that make change feel effortless
✨ Real-life examples from people who created meaningful shifts with the tiniest steps

Whether you're drinking tea, taking a walk, or listening on your commute, this episode invites you to slow down, breathe, and build a rhythm that supports you through the rest of the year.

Your wellness isn’t behind. Your healing isn’t late. Your lock-in can start today.
