Every Sunday brings a moment of alarm. The moment my phone sends a notification of screen time averages for the week. I can't say I'm surprised. I know I spend more time than I would like on my phone. But the amount is still disturbing. Have you ever considered what you could accomplish or genuinely enjoy if you reclaimed that time? Looking back, I can't say my screen time ever feels worth it. Most of the time, I can't even remember what I was doing on my phone fifteen minutes ago, let alone justify the hours I spend scrolling through the week. It's embarrassing, but I know I'm not alone. Recent statistics show the average person spends about 4 hours and 37 minutes on their phone daily. And that doesn't include time spent on computers or watching TV. Rather than justify it, I've decided to take control, inspired by my friend and author Hannah Brencher's book, The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World. On her 33rd birthday, Hannah realized something had to change. She challenged herself to spend 1,000 unplugged hours over the course of a year. In a recent podcast episode, I interviewed her about this journey—what she learned, what surprised her, and whether she plans to continue. If you're ready to rethink your screen habits, give it a listen. It might inspire you to live differently in the year ahead.   Learn more about today's episode: https://thelivingwell.com/346.   Don't forget to track where your energy level using: This FREE energy quiz to determine your metabolic output.

The UnPlugged Hours is the story of one woman's journey to creativity, self, and family.  After recognizing how much tech was affecting her creative process and stripping her imagination, Hannah Brencher committed to intentionally taking a 1,000 hour break from technology.  She did not intend to write this book - her process started as a commitment to self-improvement and became so much more.  Hannah is a writer, TED speaker, and entrepreneur. Named as one of the White House's “Women Working to Do Good,”  she works to encourage tech-less connection and creativity.  Listen now!  

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls' Night! I'm so excited about today's episode. Today we're talking about how to unplug from our devices so we can be more present in our everyday lives.  I couldn't wait for this topic because I know firsthand how tough it can be to break free from the constant pull of our devices. We tap into social media with the best intentions, only to emerge from the digital haze thirty minutes later, wondering where the time went. If you can relate, today's conversation is for you!  Our guest for today's episode is my dear friend, Hannah Brencher. Hannah is a writer, TED speaker, and entrepreneur. She founded The World Needs More Love Letters, a global community dedicated to sending letter bundles to those who need encouragement. She also wrote a book called, The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World. In this book, she shares about the exhaustion she felt from her constantly plugged-in lifestyle and the challenge she undertook to change that — the challenge being unplugging from her device for 1,000 hours in one year! Her results after completing the challenge are pretty astounding – you'll hear more about them soon! My hope is after hearing Hannah's story, you'll be empowered to reassess your own relationship with technology and be more present for the things that matter most.

Welcome back! We are with the amazing Hannah Brencher today. If you heard her on Smart Girl Summer, you have a little taste already of what we're going to talk about.  What does it look like to unplug? What does it look like to get your life back? What does it look like to get control over this crazy phone addiction that we all have? Now, don't worry. I'm not going to tell you to throw your phone out the window. But I also believe that we want to be smart. We want to be strategic because we are all working to live the life God has for us, and Hannah is going to help us today. Hannah Brencher is the founder of More Love Letters (leaving letters for strangers), a TED speaker, an entrepreneur, an author, and an online educator.  Hannah teaches people to establish important disciplines through her fantastic online courses and doesn't shy away from tough topics like mental illness.  In her new book, The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World, Hannah demonstrates how powering down changed her entire life. The Unplugged Hours gives you the practical ideas and spiritual inspiration you need to stop scrolling and start living. Join Hannah and I as we talk about: Why we are afraid of unplugging Finding a balance between life online and offline Practical ways to start implementing unplugged hours Ways to use social media in healthy ways Favorite Quotes:  03:32 - “We have a bundle of emotions. There are a bunch of them, usually all conflicting with each other.” 11:47 - “It starts with naming. Naming is simply asking yourself what is going on inside myself right now. What am I feeling right now?” 12:28 - “The reason I chose the title, I Shouldn't Feel This Way, is because that is often the first thing we notice. We noticed we are feeling something we shouldn't.” 14:43 - “Get curious about yourself and show yourself the same benefit of curiosity that we show our friends, kids, and other people.” Links to Great Things We Discussed: Hannah Brencher Website    Hannah Brencher Instagram   The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World Love Is Blind    American Murder: Laci Peterson    The God of the Woods    Kitchen Timer    Oura Ring    Build a Coaching Business Quick Start Challenge Create a Course Remaining You While Raising Them Little Things Studio Little Things Studio is a woman-owned small business bringing daily reminders of beauty and truth to your home and life.

We will learn: The hidden impacts of constant online exposure. Simple, yet powerful ways to reclaim your focus and purpose. How to change how you connect to others. Do you feel in control of your phone use? Or does it sometimes feel like it's in control of you? Have you ever wondered how much of your daily stress and anxiety is linked to your phone and constant connectivity? How different would your life be if you made intentional choices to unplug? The problem is, so many of these devices or apps to help you decrease screen time feel so all or nothing. Or they're too easy to get around. And then ultimately, the change isn't sustainable.  That's why I'm excited about the approach I learned in this episode. Instead of just cutting off tech, or decreasing our Instagram usage to 30 minutes a day… Hannah Brencher suggests a challenge of 1000 hours completely tech free. What I love about this method is that it alone also gives you a hit of dopamine, but toward something more positive. Those of you who love to-do lists know that joy of checking off a task each day.  But there's more to it than this. Which we'll talk about today. Hannah Brencher is a writer and a mom with a continual quest to be more present in life. She's also the author of The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World.

Hannah Brencher is on the other side of a fascinating experiment that helped her redefine what it means to be living in this time, this place, and what it really means to take good care of ourselves in this digital and depleting world. I'm coming out of a very intense work season, and I'm looking at the aftermath and wondering anew what it means to take good, deep care of ourselves and of each other in all seasons, not just the calm ones but the busy and sorrowful and mournful ones and happy and swamped seasons too. I'm curious about what I don't know, and after a year of 1,000 unplugged hours, Brencher has a lot to say about what we can gain by giving up the lesser things.

What is the currency of an hour? In my conversation with Hannah Brencher we dig into the idea of discipline, how much can we really focus on and the freedom that comes with unplugging. This is such a rich conversation on how we can all, on whatever scale works for us, trade some of our screen time for what really fills us up.So if you've had a moment where you've felt unfulfilled by your device or wished you could find the time for a walk, this conversation is for you.Find Hannah hereInstagram••• Instagram @simpleintentional Read www.simpleintentional.com Want more support?

*This episode mentions suicide and depression and may not be suitable for all listeners.* In an era where the pressures of modern life can feel overwhelming, two remarkable stories offer a unique perspective in our increasingly digital world. Our first guest, mental health counselor and advocate Faith Broussard Cade, embarked on a path to self-discovery following a traumatic brain injury. Diagnosed with post-concussive syndrome after a severe car accident, her journey underscored the critical importance of self-care and the necessity of prioritizing mental well-being in today's fast-paced world. Later in the episode, we'll hear from Hannah Brencher—an author and educator—who delves into the impact of constant digital connectivity on mental health and personal well-being, drawing from her own experiences. Hannah shares her journey toward unplugging, which began as a personal revelation on her birthday and led her to set a goal of 1,000 hours of disconnection over the course of a year.   Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Dusty & Erin Loechner Upcoming interview: Josh Baldwin Jesus Calling commemorative edition   Faith Broussard Cade post-concussive syndrome  Baby-Sitters Club   Hardy Boys  The Boxcar Children Dr. Seuss University of the South www.fleurdelisspeaks.com Shine Bright Anyway   Hannah Brencher The Unplugged Hours www.jesuscalling.com/blog   Interview Quotes: “I had a decision to make. Do I keep up the facade that I've always kept of being the superwoman who can always do everything and be everything to everyone? Or do I give up that facade for the hope of being able to have a future?” - Faith Broussard Cade  “What was supposed to be fifteen days of me kind of jump-starting my own healing journey has now turned into six and a half years of writing notes and encouraging this community collective healing journey for a lot of other people, not just myself.” - Faith Broussard Cade “I found my hero. She's been inside of me the entire time, and I am so proud of who she has become.” - Faith Boussard Cade “Just because it's not a good fit for someone else doesn't negate the goodness–the innate goodness–of who I am and who I try to be, and how I try to show up for others.” - Faith Boussard Cade “What I really wanted to do in that unplugged year was just be present to it for myself, for that part of myself that was exhausted, for that part of myself that needed to get back these vital parts of herself.” - Hannah Brencher “What would it really look like to check in with myself, and what would it really look like to take care of myself at the end of a long day?” - Hannah Brencher  “I can actually experience peace just by taking these little ordinary moments throughout my day and seeing them as an opportunity to meet with God and hear from God.” - Hannah Brencher   “He's a God of peace. He's a God of goodness. He's a God that wants good for your life, and He's a God that just wants you to be near. Not for any other motive, but the fact that He loves you and He wants to be with you, and He wants to show you daily life through a lens that maybe you haven't looked through before.” - Hannah Brencher  ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

This week, I'm excited to welcome back one of my closest friends, Hannah Brencher, to discuss why you can't manage what you can't measure and why we've swapped personal availability for being accessible all the time. We're also going to unpack the tactical side of breaking up well, why multitasking is inefficient, and why the private issues of our hearts are not pieces of content that must be published widely. This is, by far, not only the longest episode I've ever recorded, but I'd also like to suggest, one of the most vulnerable and thoughtful episodes. Hannah is a gift to all who know her, and if you're unfamiliar with her, I trust today's conversation will be a great introduction to an incredible person you're going to want to follow and learn from.

On her 33rd birthday, Hannah Brencher felt a nudge to turn off her phone. Reflecting on a year filled with exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout, she questioned whether being fully present in the moment—and being enough—was possible. What began as a single day of unplugging for celebration, connection, and rest, soon evolved into a yearlong challenge: 1,000 hours without screens.In today's conversation, author, TED Speaker, and entrepreneur Hannah Brencher shares her journey from feeling overwhelmed to finding balance and abundance through just a few tech-free hours each day. With a relatable and practical approach, she shows how setting healthy boundaries with technology is achievable.

In today's episode, I am so excited to chat with my new friend, Hannah Brencher, author, writer, and mental health advocate, about her new book The Unplugged Hours, releasing today. Hannah opens up about her journey with mental health, her battle with severe depression, and the transformative power of her faith. Though she grew up resistant to her mother's beliefs, everything changed when she embraced Christianity at the age of 22, learning how to study the Word and develop spiritual disciplines that now shape her life. Hannah shares how growing up in a small town in Connecticut with a large opioid addiction issue became part of her story and her eventual involvement with a church plant 12 years ago. Through the trials, testing, and the fire, she learned that true success isn't about what you accomplish, but about how you're able to show up fully and vibrantly in life. Her powerful testimony includes her battle with severe depression, which culminated in a major nervous breakdown in 2014. She emphasizes the importance of mental health and encourages listeners to seek help when needed, including therapy and the tools God provides to help us thrive. In The Unplugged Hours, Hannah reflects on how unplugging from her phone for 1,000 hours over the course of a year changed her life and mental health dramatically. She discusses the importance of finding affirmation and assurance in God rather than in online validation or worldly success. Hannah's journey is a reminder that God cares for every aspect of our being—mental, physical, and spiritual—and how closely they are all intertwined. Join us as we dive into her story, exploring the importance of checking in with God, being present in our lives, and breaking free from the distractions that can distance us from our walk with Him.

We're often told that connectivity is at the tip of our fingers. But, why then, do we often feel so disconnected, overwhelmed, and lonely? Perhaps we've become too connected to a disconnected world and if so, how to we reclaim a sense of self and a peace of presence to live a life of beauty? In this episode, we chat with Hannah Brencher author of The Unplugged Hours. We discuss: How unplugging helps you find more purpose, creativity, and appreciation for the small but beautiful things in life. How unplugging helps you live life instead of trying to cultivate perfection and how that then allows you to connect or reconnect with people. How powerful of a tool unplugging can be for connecting with people and building friendships and just finding beauty in the mess of your life and someone else's. And how all of it leads to living life with a bit more peace and surety. If you are feeling a little overwhelmed in life, a little lonely, and a bit too connected in all the wrong ways, keep listening because we're speaking to all of that in this episode!

What does your relationship with your phone look like? It keeps us connected to those we love and can allow us to serve our readers with our writing.

In this episode Shanna chats with author Hannah Brencher on the upcoming release of her book The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World.In this conversation they discuss the heart behind Hannah's 1000 Unplugged Hours Challenge, the impact of powering down on Hannah's life and business plus the ins & outs of her entrepreneurial journey.WILDFLOWER SHOWNOTES : https://shannaskidmore.com/hannah-brencher/ 

One of my favorite people, Hannah Brencher, is back on the podcast this week to talk about her new book: "The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World." If you're anything like me, you spend way more time than you should on social media. And if not social media, then you likely struggle to get away from the constant barrage of push notifications, text messages, emails and phone calls that bombard our devices. Perhaps it's left you feeling burnt out. That was the case for Hannah, and in the Spring of 2021 she realized the culprit was her constantly plugged-in lifestyle. Like so many of us, Hannah had been turning to her phone to cope with life in a time of isolation and uncertainty. Those coping mechanisms had calcified into habits she didn't know how to break. She felt a nudge to turn off her phone, and soon after a challenge was born: 1,000 unplugged hours in one year. She shared her tracker sheet on her website and thousands of people downloaded it and signed up for their own 1,000-hour challenge. What started out as a personal journey and practice for Hannah is now laid out in this practical book, which is released September 17. You can purchase the book anywhere books are sold. And while she advocates for an unplugged lifestyle, she knows it's not practical for us live a completely tech-free life. Plus, there are plenty of benefits to tech, and social media, it's just a matter of keeping them in their proper place. But in that vein, you can find her on Instagram @hannahbrencher, where she shares tons of practical and helpful content, and also on her website, hannahbrenchercreative.com, where you can sign up for her weekly email list, read blogs, sign up for courses and even get some freebies.

Our phones are often the first thing we interact with when we wake up and the last thing when we go to bed. We check it at all hours of the day to remain connected and fill the empty moments.There is rarely a moment that goes by in our busy lives when we don't have access to technology. It's quite literally in the palm of our hands! But is this 24/7 access to it healthy? Is it doing more harm than good? It's often not until we start intentionally unplugging from it that we realize how much it was taking from our lives.My guest, Hannah Brencher, has experience with slowly putting technology back in its place as she has navigated the tug-of-war between staying plugged in and powering down.

In this episode:Hannah Brencher joins Heather on the Healthy By Heather Brown show to share her journey toward resetting and unplugging to live an intentional lifestyle. Founder of More Love Letters, author of new book, "The Unplugged Hours", mom and wife, Hannah shares how she achieved 1,000 hours unplugged. Hannah shares about the power of a digital Sabbath, how to fully reset through unplugging, and how to have anchor points in your day.We are wired to move fast and yet in the slowness, we find DEEP JOY. The more we get rid of the noise, the more we realize we can step in rhythm with Jesus. God will never tell us to hustle or move faster and in fact, God is calling us to a slower pace. Productivity is amplified when we choose to unplug because we realize where our priority should be when the noise is reduced. My next step for you is this: Write down when you feel better, relaxed, or more alive and let that be part of you sabbath.

Hey hey! I love having a chance to bring back one of my favorite conversations with someone who is not just my friend, but a friend of the show. This woman is brilliant, so Smart Girl Summer is the perfect time to re-air this incredible conversation. Hannah Brencher is the founder of More Love Letters (leaving letters for strangers- how fun is that?!), a TED speaker, and the best-selling author of three books.  Hannah teaches people to establish important disciplines through her fantastic online courses and doesn't shy away from tough topics like mental illness. I'm so excited for you to get to hear from her today! Join in as Hannah and I discuss: Why giving yourself permission to try something new is so important What it's really like being the breadwinner, and why this is an essential conversation for women in the church How to protect yourself from comparison and imposter syndrome Why gratitude (and expressing it!) at every juncture is key Hannah Brencher is a TED speaker, founder of More Love Letters, and author of three bestselling books, including her latest, Fighting Forward: Your Nitty-Gritty Guide to Beating the Lies That Hold You Back. Hannah and her husband, Lane, live in Atlanta with their daughter. Favorite quotes: “If you want to learn how to hone your voice and you want to become a writer and you haven't established a readership, a blog is a really great way to start.” “If you have never tried something before don't say no because you are scared.” “I don't want people to be spectators in the lives of other people. I want them to be fully in their lives and that requires doing the work every single day.” “Just because it has been done this one way a thousand times before doesn't mean that it is what you have to do.” “Make sure you finish things as well as you start them.”  “We need to celebrate more because we are doing big things and just because it doesn't look like the milestone that person had doesn't mean your milestone is any less important or any less worthy to be celebrated.” Links to great things we discussed:  Hannah Brencher Website Hannah Brencher Instagram Hannah Brencher Pinterest Hannah Brencher Twitter Hannah Brencher Facebook Fighting Forward Cocokind The Bachelor 90 Day Fiancé Good Mythical Morning Billy Joel Scenes from an Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel Order your copy of Remaining You While Raising Them here.

Jennie Allen is a Bible teacher, New York Times bestselling author, and the founder + visionary of IF:Gathering. She is married to Zac Allen and they are the parents to four wonderful young adult and adolescent children  Kate, Conner, Cooper and Caroline. Jennie has a heart and a passion for this generation of women. She believes in helping women to love God more every day, to see Him for who He is through His Word and to help women learn to give Him away as they meet the people around them. Her life and her work testify to this mission that she lives out with such urgency.In this episode, Jennie Allen sits down with our friend, Hannah Brencher, to have a discussion around Psalm 23:2 and this biblical principle of rest. Throughout the conversation Jennie gracefully uncovers how God helped her understand rest by realizing that it had little to do with ceasing, but truly meant learning to trust and abide in Him. The idea of rest can often be one that we as women often reject but Jennie helps us see the invitation and leadership of God to release us from work and striving. We pray that we can all receive this encouragement today, to trust and abide in the Father.

Do you ever feel like you spend too much time on your phone? Today we're chatting with author Hannah Brencher about her 1,000 Unplugged Hours Challenge and how her creativity, marriage, and mothering have flourished since she's started putting down her phone more often. Unplugging isn't always easy (no more scrolling during date night arguments!), but as Hannah gently reminds us, there's plenty of life to enjoy, even when we're unavailable to the rest of the world. Whether you print Hannah's tracker sheet, or simply take a quick inventory of your own habits, we hope this conversation encourages you to reclaim more of the beautiful life in front of you.  This show is brought to you ad-free by our generous and loving Patreon community.

This is the third episode in our 4-part Summer Series :: The Road to Conference. The idea with these conversations is to spend time over 4 episode during the Summer to cover different aspects of Psalm 84. It is intended to be a resource to women everywhere - those who have decided to attend conference in the fall, women who are still deciding and even those who are unable but listen to the podcast regularly. In this conversation, Amy Groeschel, wife to Craig Groeschel + co-pastor of Life Church, sits down with Hannah Brencher, author + friend to the Grove, to have a deep look into Psalm 84:10. In this time they review the beauty of what is received  when we gather as the women of God to sing the praises of God. With such great perspective from how drastically our lives changed in the midst of 2020 to shift now into the privilege we have in gathering again. This 30 minute discussion empowers each of us around the decision we have to not forsake the gathering of one another as Hebrews 10:25 instructs.The Grove is a part of the Passion City Church family here in Atlanta, Georgia.
