Do you ever feel like your phone has more control over your life than you'd like to admit? Same here. In this episode of Visibly Fit, I get super real with you about my recent 72-hour technology fast—and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy.

My husband nudged me into it (okay, he challenged me), and I finally said yes after realizing just how overstimulated and under-connected I was feeling, especially with God. From missing step counts and flashlight moments, to not being able to use Siri or check the weather, this fast revealed how much I’ve come to rely on (and even be addicted to) my devices. 😳

But what did I gain? Peace. Presence. Clarity. Connection—with God, with myself, and with others. It became a spiritual detox that helped reset not just my brain, but my soul.

This isn’t just a story about me. It’s an invitation for you to take a step back, too. Could a fast—whether from tech, media, or even toxic people—be the breakthrough your brain and spirit are craving?
