What started as a simple break from social media turned into something way harder than I want to admit.

In this *FRIDAY BONUS* episode, I walk you through my honest, day-by-day experience of stepping away from social media and what it revealed about my habits, my attention, and my heart. From muscle memory scrolling, boredom, and missing “connection,” to realizing just how much time and mental space was being consumed—I share it all without pretending this was easy or instantly freeing.

Two verses kept coming up again and again during this break:

• “Be sober-minded…” (1 Peter 5:8)

• “God gave us a spirit of self-discipline…” (2 Timothy 1:7)

We talk about what it really means to be sober-minded in a world that constantly pulls at our focus, how discipline isn’t punishment but support, and why missing something doesn’t automatically mean it was good for us.

If you’ve ever wondered whether social media is helping you feel connected—or just keeping you distracted—this episode is for you.
