Welcome to the Unplug Journey Community! I’m so glad you’re here.

I started UnplugJourney.com because, as a busy mom myself, I know how hard it can be to find balance in a world that’s always on. Sometimes it feels like we’re living in our phones more than our homes.

This space is for families—especially moms—who are craving more connection, more presence, and a healthier relationship with technology and AI. You don’t have to be perfect (trust me, I’m not!). You just have to be curious about doing things a little more intentionally.

One of my favorite blog posts lately is: https://unplugjourney.com/family-conversation-starters-dinner/

We’ve been using these not just at dinner, but everywhere—waiting in line, in the car, even at the doctor’s office. What a nice change turning our bored time into nice, fun time.

Have you tried anything like this?
I'd love to hear what’s worked for your family—or if you try a prompt from the post, come back and share your favorite moment!

Welcome,
Carla
