I'm also exploring what a digital detox could look like so I can be more present with my family and more engaged in my own life.   Resources & Links: The Anxious Generation Hair by Kaitlin Cox Salon Store FREE Words of Faith download   Connect with Katilin: Follow on Instagram @emergingasme Subscribe to my email list   Make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode!
