Quitting Social Media & Refocusing My Life : A 31 Day Reset

Episode 90 of The Courage, Coaching and Counseling Podcast. What happens when you step away from social media and make space for what really matters? In this episode, I share why did a 31 Day Reset — including taking a break from social media — and how I’m refocusing my time, energy, habits, and priorities for the new year. I also talk about the future of this podcast, lessons from a busy season last year, and the books and tools helping me start 2026 being more intentional with my time and habits, as well as the benefits of connecting with others and God. If you’ve been feeling distracted, stretched thin, or ready for a reset of your own, this conversation is for you. 🎙 This year I’m prioritizing more meaningful conversations, practical growth, and tools for emotional, relational, spiritual and personal health — and I’m glad you’re here for it.
