In this episode, I’m sharing a real, raw story straight from the trenches of summer break. After one too many tech-triggered meltdowns (mine and theirs 🙃), I snapped—and yanked all screens from the house. No TV, no Switch, no nothing. What started as a last-straw meltdown turned into something that changed our home in ways I never expected.

I’m walking you through:

  • Why I ditched screens cold turkey
  • What the first few days (and meltdowns) were really like
  • The unexpected magic that showed up when boredom hit
  • Why I might never go back—and how you can decide if this is right for your family too

If you’ve ever felt like the referee, the nag, the mom who’s “not fun anymore”… this one’s for you. 💛

Let me know your thoughts and tips for reintroducing screens—if you’ve figured out a way that actually works for your family. I’m all ears. 👂
