|
Hey Reader, Can I be honest with you? Screen time is hard for me. I am a work in progress but I'm committed to lasting change. I want to reduce the time I spend staring at my phone but I struggle. The addiction is real. Maybe you’ve just given up? Do you wake up and hit snooze on the phone alarm? And then scroll through email and social media for 30 minutes to wake up?

What if you controlled your mornings instead of allowing the phone to control you? Reader, your early morning phone use will set the tone for your entire day.

Hey Reader, Thank you for all the advice! So many of you shared your thoughts about the dance of kids coming home, leaving again, and all the little ground rules we need in between. Here’s my favorite one: “If you’re staying here, please let us know what time you’ll be back. Not a control thing, but we have a life too—and we want to know if the person coming in at midnight is you or an intruder.” ---Alicia Yes! 🙌 We have a life too. (If you’re new here, my son Zack just wrapped up his first...
Hey Reader, Did you guess? It’s Zack. One year ago, celebrating his high school graduation ❤️ If you’re new around here, my son Zack just wrapped up his first year of college. One whole year—gone in a blink! And today... we’re picking him up. 😱 I. Cannot. Wait. Tonight, he’ll sleep in his own bed, safe and sound. My heart is full. And yet... we’re also feeling a little apprehensive. Can I tell you a secret? We kind of like empty nesting. I feel a little guilty even saying that. But my coach...
