The Podcast Where Faith & Digital Wellness Meet
**Top 3% Globally Ranked Podcast**

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 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 leading in this generation, 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, we'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!

  • 53 | Make Your New Habits Stick [Week 4] – Practicing the Routines That Transform Your Digital Life
    Jan 27 2026

    Awareness is good. Interrupting patterns is better. But living it? That’s where the real transformation begins.

    You’ve made it to Week 4 of the Digital Habit Reset! Can we just take a second to celebrate that?

    This week is the final stretch, but it’s also the beginning of a whole new way of living. You’ve started strong. You’ve pushed through the messy middle. And now, you’re ready to live what you’ve learned.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through:

    • The surprising truth about practice and why it’s more spiritual than you think
    • How James 1:22 reminds us that hearing truth is only half the story
    • What it looks like to partner with the Holy Spirit in your daily habit practice
    • Why your final days in the Reset are more about integration than intensity
    • How to take your routines from paper to practice (and let them become your new normal)

    This episode will challenge and encourage you as you step into consistency, not perfection, but faithful, Spirit-led repetition that solidifies change.

    Week 4 is where your habits grow roots. And I’ll help you stay grounded in truth, grace, and the daily rhythms that protect your peace.

    If you’ve been following along, don’t skip this one, it’s the glue that helps everything stick.

  • 52 | Build Better Digital Routines [Week 3] – Simple Daily Habits That Create a Calmer Mind & Less Distracted Life
    Jan 20 2026

    If you’ve made it to Week 3 of the Digital Habit Reset… that’s a BIG deal.

    You’ve brought awareness to your habits. You’ve started to interrupt the loops that were keeping you stuck. And now you’re entering what I call the messy middle, the place where motivation fades, and routines take over.

    This week, we’re not just interrupting bad habits we’re building better ones.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through:

    • Why habits fall apart without routine and reward
    • How your brain is wired to run on autopilot (and how to rewire it with intention)
    • What Psalm 90:12 teaches us about time, wisdom, and stewardship
    • How a morning routine can act as a “keystone habit” that transforms everything
    • Why your brain needs micro-rewards to make habit change last

    If you're tired of starting strong and falling off after a few days, this episode is for you. I’ll help you shift from relying on fleeting motivation to building rhythms and routines that anchor your day even when life gets messy.

    This isn’t just behavior change. It’s stewardship. It’s forming habits that reflect who God created you to be.

    And don’t forget your Week 3 bonus resource is waiting for you when you sign up for the Digital Habit Reset: 👉 julianneaugust.com/reset. This week’s gift is the Guide to Grayscale—a practical tool to help your phone become less of a temptation and more of a tool for peace.

  • 51 | Break Your Worst Digital Habits [Week 2] – How to Stop Scrolling and Change Your Screen Time Patterns for Good
    Jan 13 2026

    Welcome to Week 2 of the Digital Habit Reset.

    Knowing your screen habits is a great start. But it won’t change your life.

    Last week, you saw your patterns. You named your triggers. You even faced the hard truths in your screen time report. But now it’s time to do something about it.

    This week is where we break the cycle, where we stop letting our phones run our days and start building new, healthier patterns on purpose.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through:

    • Why you keep scrolling even when you don’t want to
    • What Romans 12:2 reveals about real, lasting transformation
    • The brain science behind habit change and why your brain resists it
    • The habit loop that’s quietly running your life (and how to interrupt it)
    • How to shift your environment so you can make better digital choices, effortlessly

    Good news. Your brain can change. And so can your habits.

    The habits that feel automatic today didn’t get there by accident. They were formed through repetition and that means they can be unlearned the same way. One intentional, God-led step at a time.

    In this episode you’ll discover how to create friction between impulse and action, how to rewire your daily cues, and most importantly, how to invite the Holy Spirit into the moment when you’re most tempted to reach for your phone. This is where awareness becomes action.

    And remember: the Digital Habit Reset Guide is your daily tool to walk this out.

    Grab it now at 👉 julianneaugust.com/reset. If you are on my Digital Habit Reset email list, this week you’ll also receive your Week 2 bonus, a whole bunch of custom truth-filled phone wallpapers to help you stay focused every time you pick up your device.
