Waves of Joy

Offline and In Tune

Episode 253

This week, I unplugged. After a full social media detox, my screen time dropped by 84% — but what I gained was far more meaningful than a number. 

I realized I wasn’t being intentional with my time, and it made me ask a hard question: Why did I feel the need to fill the quiet with other people’s lives?

Even though I wasn’t mindlessly scrolling, I was still consuming — checking, watching, and staying connected in ways that slowly pulled me away from being present in my own life. Stepping back created space for deeper presence with my daughter, the excitement to volunteer and write fetal echo board questions, and reconnect with the self-care rituals that already ground me — acupuncture, chiropractic, lifting, and hot yoga — not as a to-do list, but as a sacred space to reset.

I began integrating the wisdom of The Daily Dad, showing up not just as a parent, but as a fully engaged human in my daughter’s world. I reached out to friends through real conversations, ones that felt slower, deeper, and more nourishing.

Join me as I reflect on what happens when we consciously disconnect to fully reconnect with ourselves, our people, and our purpose.
