The Good Life with Michele Lamoureux

In this episode, I'm sharing my personal digital detox journey—what started as a simple two-week break eventually turned into six months away from social media (specifically Instagram). I'm sharing the truth—why Instagram felt addictive and how disconnecting brought me more clarity and creativity. I also talk about what it felt like to return to social media, how I'm setting boundaries now, and why being more intentional with our devices can completely change the way we show up in our lives. If you've been thinking about taking a break from your phone, feeling burnt out by constant scrolling, or simply wanting a healthier relationship with technology, this video will give you real-life insights and encouragement to help you start your own digital reset.
