"Let's be honest—most of us are more plugged in than ever before. Our phones, laptops, and social feeds are always within reach, and it feels like the world never stops. But here's the thing: sometimes the best way to move forward is to step back. Today, I want to talk about the power of a digital detox—why unplugging, even just for a little while, can recharge your mind, boost your creativity, and help you reconnect with what matters most."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/motivational-mondays--4180173/support.
Hey — have you ever wondered if it's actually possible to do nothing anymore? Lately I've been thinking about how my time is filled up with constant doing, and how the second boredom appears we reach for our phones to fill it. What if there's a different answer: simply being present, without an agenda? I want to tell you about a time when I did nothing and it mattered. I remember being sick years ago, walking to a hillside with a pad, paints and water, and sitting there for an hour and a half just taking in the view and painting. I wasn't thinking about anything, and for the first time in ages, I felt genuinely connected to that moment. I even framed that little piece and stuck the story on the back so my son will have it one day — little reminders like that matter. These days the challenge is our devices. We're so used to constant input that silence feels strange — maybe even a bit scary. But I don't think we're meant to be constantly engaged. There's a gentle kind of flow where nothing is taxing: just noticing, breathing, and being with what's around you. Cats do it naturally; we could try to relearn it. I'm going to make space this week to unplug and find a quiet spot in nature just to be, and I'd love for you to try it too. Don't make it complicated — sit somewhere new, or even look at something familiar with fresh eyes, take a few deep breaths, and see what comes. If you do it, tell me how it felt. I'll report back on what I learn. Thanks for being here with me on this little experiment in slowing down. If this resonated, give it a go — step away from the screen for a moment and notice the world. I'll catch you next time.

The Ultimate Unplug | The Todd Coconato Show To go to our website, please go to www.pastortodd.org. And to help us in the mission that we're talking about, please go to www.toddcoconato.com/gift. Have you been feeling weary, worn down, or discouraged lately? That's not just coincidence—it's a strategy of the enemy to try and silence God's people in this critical hour. On today's show, Pastor Todd is talking about how the devil is working overtime to make Christians feel tired, beaten down, and plugged into the world's distractions. But God has already equipped us for the ultimate unplug—to rise above the noise, the fake news, and the lies of the culture, and to be fully about the Father's business. This isn't just about surviving. It's about stepping into your greatest hour of faith. Pastor Todd will share why the weariness you're feeling is actually a sign that breakthrough is near, and how God is preparing His remnant to stand strong in the days ahead. Don't miss today's show—it's a word in season that will strengthen your spirit, lift your hope, and remind you of the authority you carry in Christ!
They control the narrative in order to control you. What happens when you stop feeding the fear machine?In this raw, no-BS conversation, returning guest Ole Dammegård shares the biggest lessons from 40+ years down the “rabbit hole,” why he's stepped back from the noise, and how he now chooses to live: less screen, more heart, more nature, more courage. We get into fear programming, AI deepfakes, media choreography, saying NO without hate, and his new “light-minded” sanctuary project in Bali.If you're tired of panic headlines and ready to reclaim your attention, this one's for you.What you'll hear, from Ole's perspective:How fear is manufactured, and why he stopped trusting anything that arrives through a “smart” screenAuthority & algorithm “mind control” 101 (simple tools used daily, not sci-fi)From outrage to inner balance: living from heart, not headlinesCourage over compliance: the school-yard bully rule for geopoliticsWhy he's building Selalu (a sanctuary of light-minded friends) in Bali, and what “community without committees” looks like
I ask the question - Time to Disconnect? Unplugging or disconnecting can be very helpful, but don't make it a Lifestyle, just a temporary break from the world, boss, spouse or children!

Amy hosts this Labor Day Monday morning Wake Up Call. The show starts with Amy revisiting her conversation with documentary, commercial, and editorial photographer Morgan Lieberman about ‘The Age of Incarceration,' where she captures the testimony and experiences of nine of the last survivors of Japanese American incarceration, 80 years after the war ended and these people were released. Amy talks with CEA Chief Mitigation Officer for the California Earthquake Authority Janiele Maffei about their grant program to brace and bolt older homes to their foundation to protect against earthquakes. The show closes with Amy's conversation with author Richard Simon and his latest book ‘Unplug: How to break up with your smartphone.'
“It's all about thinking, not just about the noise, but about the sounds around us, those that can be an ally and a resource for us, and kind of think in a proactive way about sound.

Episode Summary:Welcome back! In today's Friday Rant, I dive into something simple but powerful: laughter. When was the last time you really laughed? As adults, we get so caught up in chasing numbers, optimizing every second, and living for social media validation that we forget to enjoy life. We're “on” 24/7—talking about revenue, followers, units—but missing the small, real moments that actually make life meaningful. This is your reminder to step away from the grind and rediscover the joy, spontaneity, and fun that made you come alive as a kid.Key Highlights:- The Trap of Optimization: In trying to maximize everything, we've minimized joy.- Social Media Illusion: Likes, followers, and business metrics won't replace genuine laughter.- Rediscover Play: From comedy specials to golf with friends, simple joys matter more than any hustle stat.- Unplug to Reconnect: Disconnection from screens is the gateway to connection with people and yourself.- Laughter as Medicine: Real laughs with your kids, partner, or friends are what you'll remember—not the revenue sheet.Final Thoughts:Your homework this week: seek laughter, chase joy, and find moments that remind you what life is really about. Because at the end of the day, money fades, followers fade, but laughter and love don't.
The Social Contagion: Viral Ideologies & the Culture War for America's Future What happens when identity becomes ideology and information becomes a weapon?The Social Contagion: Viral Ideologies & The Culture War for America's Future is a fearless cultural deep-dive into the crisis of belief shaping American politics, media, and identity.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Back to School” with some of the professors and staff from the Moody Bible Institute (MBI). First, we had Dr. Elizabeth Smith join us to talk about her Social Work Practices course and new 3-year online degree programs available at Moody. Dr. Smith is the Associate Dean of Academics for Moody Online and the Program Head of the Children and Family Ministry. She is also a Professor for Moody Online and on the Chicago campus. We then had Allie Marie Smith join us to discuss the effects of social media on our mental health. Allie is an award-winning author, speaker, entrepreneur, life coach, and podcast host.

She is also the author of “Social Media Reset: A 30-Day Guided Journey to Unplug, Reconnect with God, Reclaim Your Joy.” We then discussed how, when we renew our minds, we will be able to discern the Will of God, and this is affirmed in Romans 12:1-2. Then we had Dr. William Washington join us to discuss the happenings at the MBI Chicago Campus. Dr. Washington is Vice President of Student Life and Enrollment at MBI.

UnplugHow to Break Up with Your Phone and Reclaim Your Lifeby Richard Simon But what does long term freedom from your phone really look like—and is it sustainable for people with… you know… jobs? In UNPLUG: How to Break Up with Your Phone and Reclaim Your Life (Workman; 6/17/25) Richard Simon shows that it is—through his own experience and many others', including but not limited to: an anesthesiologist, a software engineer, a social media marketer, a school principal, a law partner, a financial analyst, a chess grandmaster, and a Major League Baseball player who credits dropping the phone with big improvements in both his game and his family life. Of course, professional commitments are just one piece of the puzzle. When Simon first decided to go phone-free for a year as an experiment, the toughest sell was his wife. What if one of the kids got sick, or she needed to reach him in an emergency? What about shared grocery lists, the banking app, and all the little ways that our smartphones seem to make family life run more smoothly? Spoiler alert: she came around to it. And like all the other subjects of this book, Simon reports that his personal relationships blossomed in the absence of screens. After a year of detox, Simon relaxed his personal smartphone ban, but still keeps his phone off by default. Almost all of the other subjects he profiled resumed their smartphone use in some capacity. Many were able to enforce the boundaries they set during the detox; others are back where they started. But there are valuable lessons to learn fromBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
Sometimes we treat doing nothing like a crime. Like we've failed somehow if we're not productive, not checking things off, not improving ourselves every waking second. But here's the truth: doing nothing isn't lazy. It's necessary.Rest isn't always sleeping or meditating or going on a wellness retreat. Sometimes, it's lying on the floor and staring at the ceiling. Scrolling without purpose. Sitting in silence with a cup of something warm. Not fixing anything. Not solving your life.And when you live with depression, even just surviving the day is a full-time job. So if all you did today was breathe, that's not nothing — that's enough.Doing nothing can be an act of quiet rebellion in a world obsessed with hustle. It's a way of saying: My worth isn't measured by my output. I'm allowed to exist without constantly performing wellness or productivity.So today, if you need it — take the pause. Unplug. Un-do. Un-become for a while. You don't owe anyone your energy, especially when you're running low.You don't need to fix yourself to be worthy.Rest isn't laziness — it's an act of self-acceptance.Doing nothing can be an art form, especially when you're struggling.Always look forward to something- no matter how small.

Let's talk about the propaganda I'm gladly falling for: slow mornings, using what I already have, watching the same comfort shows on repeat, and logging the hell out when social media starts draining me.In this episode, I'm breaking down what a digital detox really looks like — and no, it's not just going off the grid and sitting in silence (though that sounds lovely too). It's about reclaiming your peace, unfollowing the influencers who make you question your timeline, and finally asking: “What do I actually need right now?”I'm sharing what I've been detoxing from lately — consumerism, aesthetic overload, comparison culture, and people who don't make me feel like myself. Plus, real things you can do instead of doom-scrolling your way into a breakdown.If you've been feeling overstimulated, over-connected, or just over it... this one's for you._If this episode hit home, I'd love for you to stick around.

Morning Mantra: "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you."Anxiety and tension are no fun. They put a damper on everything from how you think, to how you feel. Many of us struggle with it so much we feel like we are in a constant state of "fight or flight" mode. We have an anxious thoughts because our brain is always trying to keep us alive. To the brain, survival is much more important than happiness. So, the brain conjures up worst case scenarios, and "what ifs" so that we can be prepared for anything. The trouble is, the brain regularly gets it wrong.So, it's up to you to let the brain know when it can relax. When you feel overwhelmed, or when anxiety swoops in and makes your nervous system feel like it's on high alert, here's a two minute, incredibly effective reset. First things first, feel your feet firmly on the floor or grass – really press down and feel that solid, grounding foundation beneath you. Then, take three slow, deliberate breaths in through your nose, and then let out a big, audible sigh through your mouth. After that, gently unclench your jaw, allowing it to softly drop, and slowly roll your shoulders back and around, really feeling the movement as you release any tension. Finally, gently shake out your hands, your arms – heck, why not your whole body? Think like a dog or horse shaking off water– you're literally shaking off all that doesn't belong to you. Now check in with your body-how do you feel? Chances are, you've shifted from that 'fight or flight' mode into a calmer space. If not, no worries at all – just repeat these steps as many times as you need. #BeUnplugged #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #HorseHippieBoutique #InspirationalQuotes #Inspire #QuotesToMakeYouFeelGood #QuotesFromTheHeart #MorningMantraQuote: Anne LaMott

Lately, I've been hanging out in my own little corner of the internet… my digital room. No pressure. No “you should post this” or “you should be like her.” Just me, my thoughts, and whatever feels good to share in the moment.Somewhere along the way, I realized that showing up online doesn't have to feel like performing; it can feel like coming home. It's messy sometimes. Imperfect. But it's mine. And honestly? That's where the magic lives.In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what it looks like to create a digital space that actually feels like you. We'll talk about why personal growth always starts with giving yourself permission to be a little messy, how to stop chasing perfection, and how to finally feel free to express yourself online, without burning out.Because at the end of the day, there are no rules here. Just your voice, your vibe, and what excites you most.
Episode 76 Today's guest is Allie Marie Smith, life coach, founder and creator of Wonderfully Made and author of the new book, Social Media Reset: A 30 Day Guided Journey to Unplug, Reconnect with God and Reclaim Your Joy. In this episode, Allie and I talk about how so many young girls don't have a true understanding of who they are in the eyes of God. That can cause them to turn to other things to feel worthy—alcohol, drugs, promiscuity and even social media. The problem is, of course, that those things don't satisfy. Since 2010 the suicide rates for young people ages 10-24 has gone up 62% and over 145% among girls. Some teen girls are spending more than 40 hours a week on social media. These numbers should make us sit up and take notice! Allie calls this a technologically induced mental health crisis. Alli's response to this crisis has been to share her own story of a mental health crisis and then to offer help to girls just like her to have something better. She wants to help them understand the truth of their worth to God in a world that is trying to tell them otherwise. In this episode, we discuss having radical boundaries with social media, how social media can be used for good, but it can be used for bad or can cause harm, and how social media can keep us from being present in the moment. We encourage you to delay social media for your kids as long as possible and explain why you should. This is an invitation to step away from the digital world and live the life we were intended to live—deeply connected to God and others. We are inviting you and the people you love to an unplugged and flourishing life. Please accept this invitation to lean into something better and start by tuning into this honest, helpful and hopeful episode!

Welcome to Day 9 of the Young with CJ program, where we're turning your bedroom into a true sanctuary for sleep and recovery. In this episode, CJ unpacks two powerful (and often overlooked) sleep upgrades: aromatherapy and reducing EMF (electromagnetic field) exposure. These small, intentional shifts can dramatically improve your quality of sleep, stress levels, and even support fat loss—without the need for pills or gadgets.What You'll Learn:Aromatherapy: More Than Just a Pleasant Scent Essential oils don't just smell good—they interact directly with your limbic system, the part of your brain that regulates emotions, memory, and hormones. When used before bed, certain oils can calm your nervous system, reduce stress, and promote deeper sleep.CJ's top essential oils for sleep and stress:Lavender – reduces anxiety, lowers heart rateChamomile – calming, promotes relaxationYlang Ylang – may reduce blood pressure and soothe tensionBest ways to use:Add 5–10 drops in a diffuserUse pillow sprays or apply diluted oil to neck or feetAdd essential oils to a warm bath before bedEMFs & Sleep: The Hidden Disturbance Your phone, Wi-Fi, and screens may be quietly disrupting your body's melatonin production, increasing stress at the cellular level, and throwing off your circadian rhythm.CJ explains how EMFs:Disrupt your ability to fall asleep and stay asleepLower cellular communication and hormone balanceTrigger hunger, reduce fat-burning, and increase stressSimple solutions to reduce EMFs at night:Switch off your Wi-Fi before bedKeep devices at least 6 feet away from your bedUse airplane mode on your phone overnightUnplug electronics not in useTry CJ's iPhone red light trick to reduce blue light exposureKey Takeaways:Scents influence your brain. Use calming oils to signal your body it's time to rest.EMFs sabotage melatonin. Less EMF = better sleep and hormone function.Your bedroom should be a recovery zone. Not a tech hub.Sleep drives fat loss and energy. Protect it like your most valuable asset.One new habit can reset your nights. Try one tonight and feel the difference.5 Things You Can Start Doing Today:Use lavender or chamomile essential oil in a diffuser 30 minutes before bed.Switch your Wi-Fi off before you sleep.Put your phone on airplane mode and place it across the room.Unplug any electronic devices near your bed.Enable red light mode on your phone or use dim red lights in your bedroom.Final Thought: Better sleep isn't complicated—it's just often overlooked. Aromatherapy and EMF reduction are low-effort, high-impact tools to support your recovery, energy, and longevity.

Most leaders travel alone for work. But how many take a real solo vacation—just for themselves, not for business? I recently took my first-ever solo trip through Peru and Ecuador, and it changed me. I reconnected with myself. I reflected deeply. I came back more grounded, clear, and confident as a leader. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I share why every leader should consider a solo vacation, how it strengthens your leadership, and how you can plan a meaningful trip that resets your mindset and helps you lead with intention. Why Solo Time Is Essential for Modern Leaders 1. Clarity requires solitude 2. Breaking routine unlocks creativity 3. Being alone builds self-leadership 4. Presence deepens connection How to Take a Transformational Solo Vacation • Choose a place that stretches you—culturally, spiritually, physically • Unplug completely—no work emails, no “just checking in” • Journal and reflect—capture what you learn • Say yes to connection—talk to strangers, share stories • Pay attention to your thoughts—notice what comes up in the stillness Key Takeaways 1. Solo time is a powerful leadership tool 2. Travel breaks patterns and expands your thinking 3. Self-trust comes from being alone and handling challenges 4. Presence builds deeper, more authentic relationships 5. Insight and clarity are born in stillness, not hustle Mic Drop Moment “You cannot lead others from a place of internal chaos or disconnection. But when you take time to be alone, you find clarity, and that transforms everything.” Call to Action Book the trip. Go somewhere alone. Reflect. Get uncomfortable. You'll come back more empowered, present, and effective as a leader and as a human.

The average American spends the equivalent of 60 days a year on their phone.A few years ago, author Richard Simon made a transformative decision—he turned off his smartphone for a year, and in no time enriched virtually every facet of his life, from his relationships with his family and friends to how he slept, ate, and exercised.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I'm joined by my buddy Cody D'Acquisto for a conversation that digs deep into more than just treestand setups and big bucks on the wall. Cody's fresh off the road and gearing up for his upcoming road show, and we break down what it means to really unplug from the noise and lean into the lessons the woods — and the mats — have to offer. We get into how elimination and identification shape our hunting decisions, why mastering the fundamentals matters whether you're tightening a choke in jiu jitsu or slipping an arrow through a buck's ribs, and how the right mindset can make or break your hunt before you ever lace up your boots. Cody shares what he's seeing out there, where he's headed next, and why the pressure we carry these days sometimes needs to be left at the truck. It's an honest look at discipline, flow state, and why the best lessons still come from just showing up, putting in the work, and staying present enough to enjoy the whole damn ride. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 449 Unplugging from tech is tougher — and more rewarding — than folks think. Road shows give Cody fresh lessons and real connections with hunters everywhere. Cutting dead spots and doubling down on good ground makes all the difference. Mastery, whether on the mats or in the stand, comes down to intent and time under tension. Staying present and trusting flow beats overthinking every time. Hunting is unpredictable — persistence and grit usually beat raw talent. Cody's fired up for the next hunt, the next roll, and the next chance to learn.

Is a social media reset the right step for you to reconnect with yourself and God? The increasing dependency on social media has significantly impacted how we perceive success, identity, and connection. A social media reset can be a transformative journey to reconnect with yourself and God, enhance personal well-being, and rediscover the true essence of life and relationships. Understanding the Need for a Social Media Reset Social media is a double-edged sword, offering both the potential for positive impact and the risk of negative influence. Like money, it holds no intrinsic morality but can shape behaviors and mindsets based on how it's used. Today, we risk living more vividly in the artificial world of pixels than in our own, tangible realities. A social media reset encourages us to reassess the motivations behind our frequent scrolling and posting. Additionally, it allows us to examine the subtle impacts on our spiritual and mental well-being. The Spiritual Perspective When we shift our focus through a social media reset, we open the door to deep spiritual insights. However, this shift isn't merely about limiting screen time; it's about prioritizing time with God and nurturing our inner selves. The ever-present digital noise can drown out the gentle call of God, pulling us away from a life filled with purpose and peace. A social media reset sets the stage for us to reconnect with God. In addition, it reminds us that our value doesn't hinge on digital validation but on divine, unconditional love. Crafting a Life of Purpose Success in life and business doesn't depend on social media metrics. In pursuing a more authentic existence, we are reminded that our worth is fundamentally rooted in what God says about us. Our identity in Christ far surpasses any number of likes or followers. As part of a social media reset, we are invited to rediscover joy and focus on building real, meaningful connections with those around us. Read the full show notes and access all links.
