The Pour-Over: Put the Phone Down, Pick Your Life Up

Coffee Talk with Lina Midla

☕️ The Pour-Over: Put the Phone Down, Pick Your Life Up

Are we living our lives—or just scrolling through them?

Episode Summary

In this pour-over solo episode, Lina invites you to gently wake up to the ways technology is stealing your presence, scattering your attention, and dimming the depth of your everyday moments. With warmth, honesty, and a few personal confessions (hello, nighttime phone grab and mom guilt), she explores what it means to fully show up for your life, your people, and yourself.

You’ll hear about:

• The sneaky ways tech agitates our nervous system and lowers brain function
• What we’re accidentally modeling for our kids (yikes—and also, let’s fix it)
• Why our best ideas happen in the shower
• How a landline became one of the best boundary tools in Lina’s household
• The practice of choosing slowness, boredom, and presence on purpose

Plus, Lina shares simple, actionable ways to start reclaiming your attention—no shame, just grace and choice.

Whether you’re a busy mom, wellness coach, or just someone who needs a reminder to be here, this one’s for you. Because life doesn’t live in your phone. It lives in the pauses, the presence, and the people right in front of you.

🔔 Takeaways & Tiny Experiments:

• Set a phone-free time block each day
• Try a tech-free Sunday (or even just a few hours!)
• Communicate your boundaries around text, calls, and responses
• Replace “reach for your phone” with “reach for your breath”
