Scrolling can feel like a small break, then leave you more drained and with less time for the things you wanted to do. If that sounds familiar, this conversation offers a compassionate place to start.

Dr. Alaina Puff is an intuitive business coach, speaker, and founder of Flow State Coaching & Consulting. She returns to Push Pause to Heal to talk about her own wake-up call with screen time and what helped her change.

You'll learn:

• Why dopamine and unpredictable rewards can keep us checking

• How to notice automatic phone pickups and get curious about what you need

• The difference between distraction and a break that feels restorative

• How to recognize when phone use is interfering with sleep, relationships, or self-care

• Why moving your phone away from your bed can be a helpful first step

• How small breaks from your phone, including Do Not Disturb weekends, can open up room for connection and enjoyment

You don't have to fix everything at once. One small moment at a time is a real place to start.
