Hey! My name is Shayla, and I create non-judgmental content for new moms. We embrace a lifestyle that's a little crunchy, a little granola (think cloth diapers, breastfeeding on demand, co-sleeping, elimination communication), AND you can sit with us even if you don't!

Do you have a moment when you realized your phone was getting in the way of what’s important to you?‍

Absolutely! I create non-judgmental content for new moms. But what I've noticed is that social media is wreaking havoc on new moms' mental health. I've found that when my phone is away, and I genuinely connect with my kids, I feel great, my kids have fewer tantrums, and the day feels calm.

What attracted you to Aro?

I was attracted to Aro because it's a designated place for my phone and I love the fact that it "gamifies" how much time I spend off my phone!

What is the greatest piece of advice you have ever received?

You are the only one who can save you.

What are some of your favorite activities to do when you do put down your phone?

Play with my kids, read a book, move my body, meditate, and make eye contact.
