ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How often do we really reach for our phones? And what happens when we’re completely honest about it?
In this episode of The Scroll Less Podcast, Gia is joined by Jenna Yates — mother of three and co-host of How Motherhood Changed Me — for a very honest and hilarious phone confessional.
Nothing is off the table as Gia and Jenna unpack their own phone habits: how often they reach for their phones, the ridiculous lengths they’ll go to for some uninterrupted scrolling, and what all that phone time might be doing to their kids, partners and family life.
There are plenty of laughs and some slightly embarrassing confessions along the way — including one spectacular phone-related moment Gia may never live down.
No judgement. Nothing off limits. Just two friends getting very honest about their phones — and what they’re trying to do differently.
