Fresh Take: Mallory Thomas on How to Get Off Our Phones

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

We've been talking about it on the podcast a ton recently: we need to spend less time on our phones. But willpower doesn't work, at least not for long. Writer and influencer Mallory Thomas, author of the romantic novel SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE, explains the science behind our phone addiction and the strategies she put in place that actually worked.

In this episode Mallory, Amy, and Margaret discuss:

• The "aha" moment when Mallory realized she had to decrease her screen time
• Understanding the dopamine rush behind endless scrolling
• Strategies that didn't work, and then what actually did, to help Mallory curb her phone usage
