Is your phone controlling your life, pulling you in every direction, leaving you feeling disconnected and overwhelmed? Are screens stealing your time, diluting your faith, and distorting your focus?

Maybe you feel stuck in a habit loop, lost in doomscrolling, mindless distraction and information overload when you were made for so much more! Excessive screen time is among the most challenging habits people want to break, and for good reason. Too much time on screens doesn't just waste hours, it quietly steals your focus, drains your energy, hijacks your sleep, and crowds out the very things that matter most.

I know the frustration of wanting to change my screen habits but not knowing where to start, and I've helped many others through this exact struggle.

I'm Julianne August, a Christian life coach and digital wellness advocate. With 25 years of leadership experience and certifications in life coaching, habit change, and brain health, here's what I know: habit change is heart change, that's where real transformation happens. I’m passionate about equipping Christians who are positioned for influence and impact with the tools they need to overcome digital distraction and build healthy habits that actually stick.

On this podcast, I'll dive deep into practical strategies, rooted in biblical principles, to help you reduce screen time without guilt, frustration, or rigid rules. You'll discover the power of habits, learn simple habit stacking techniques, and learn how to rewire your brain for lasting change, one step at a time.

In our digital world, it's easy to feel half-hearted about your faith and values when you're constantly battling phone addiction. Whether you want to stop checking social media, limit screen time, or declutter your digital life, I'll help you set boundaries that protect your peace and create space to slow down, think deeply, and breathe again.

This isn't just about going unplugged with your cell phone, it's about breaking free from limiting beliefs and building healthy habits to reduce screen time and reclaim your focus. You weren't meant to live distracted.

It's time to Overcome Digital Distraction!

  • 89 | 3 Simple Ways to Reduce Screen Time and Stop Treating Your Phone Like an All-You-Can-Eat Buffet
    Oct 6 2026

    Picture the last time you walked through an all-you-can-eat buffet and came back with a plate full of food you never planned to eat. Your phone works the same way, and it never closes.

    In this episode, you'll explore why the endless supply of apps, videos, headlines, and notifications makes it so hard to reduce screen time, and why all that digital grazing can leave you full but far from satisfied. You'll also discover what Psalm 34:8, "Taste and see that the Lord is good," reveals about the appetite you're building every time you reach for your phone. Finally, you'll walk away with three simple ways to step out of the buffet line and start deciding what deserves your attention.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode

    • Why your phone works like a buffet that never closes and what that does to your attention
    • What "digital grazing" is and how it trains your mind to keep hunting for the next thing
    • Why you can spend hours on your phone and still walk away feeling unsatisfied
    • How ordering from a "menu" instead of a buffet can help you reduce screen time
