  • 3 years ago I decided to turn off my smartphone... and I never looked back. Now, I use a flip phone when traveling...and that's it! I feel more connected than EVER, and this journey brought me back to my wild roots in nature. Now, I'm teaching people how to do this. Start your FREE trial of Rewildest Life here: rewildestlife....

    🏄 A BIT ABOUT ME ☕️
    I don't call myself an author because I don’t believe in labels.
    I believe that story is art - that it's sacred, and that it is and has always been a force that changes and shapes our world. That's why I write, and that's why I create videos (even co-produced an environmental film). I consider the world my home, and enjoy submerging in unique cultures nearly as much as I love submerging in the ocean and riding the waves. I am the author of the young adult urban fantasy series The Blood Race, and am currently working on several new series's. Though I can be hard to find, I am easy to reach (and very fun to talk to) at: kate@kaemmons.com

    I've never had a smartphone, and most likely never will. The thing that made me feel better was I stopped watching the News.

    You and Abbie inspire me so much 🥹 Abbie taught me 85% of what I know about writing, and you've taught me just how beneficial yoga, digital minimalism, and meditation (tho I'm still not good at that last one quite yet, haha) can be for my mental and physical health 💛 just wanted to say thank you and to inspire you in your work as it's touched and taught so much of us 🥹 God bless 💛

    This is SO important, there should be laws that support this and be against the greedy companies with all the notifications and programming to create addiction. Rich techy children are being educated without this technology and most of them into montesori or similar, that tells you all you need to know on how dangerous it is for not only an adult mind but how it change us when we are developing from a child. Thanks Kate for shaping with what you do the future of today.

    I have social media on my phone, but not on my laptop or IPAD. The latter 2 devices are for working, and I use them a lot. I do not want to be distracted. I tend to live on my phone for brain breaks or as a means of social avoidance. I need to break the phone habit. 😢

    Thank you so much for sharing your entire phone use journey. :) One question I still have is how you deal with thinks like listening to music, podcasts or audio books. For me this is one thing that makes it even harder stepping away from my phone usage. I find spotify still a good way to listen to all of my favorite music, because buying all of the cds would be quite pricy. Do you have tipps on how to use other forms of media without having a phone? ❤

    • @KAEmmons
      @KAEmmons  6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I use my laptop for listening to music and audiobooks when I am at home. In the car, you could use an ipod, or just mindfully use your phone for that purpose. :) Just some ideas. Hope it helps! Thank you for being here friend

    How do you cope with the added pressure of having to over explain this lifestyle to new people you meet because they eventually will ask for your number and insta handle... I tried the limited phone usage and it damaged a few relationships because of the lack of response from me. People think I use the limited phone usage as an excuse to avoid them or I am just considered as rude. I don't have insta anymore and I feel like I need explain that to people as well. My present moment without my phone around in my day to day really reduced my anxiety but at the same time caused a lot of anxiety from the energy I received from those around me.

    • @KAEmmons

      this is a great question, thank you for creating space for it. I am very open with people about this lifestyle, and I find that usually people are pretty interested. I text with friends via messenger, and that's on my computer, so that's pretty easy for most people. But the most important thing in a relationship is acceptance, so if this lifestyle is something that helps you, don't be afraid to just say "hey, it's different but it's really helping me to feel more grounded and healthy. I would love to be able to connect with you via ______(email, text on computer, phone call, zoom, whatever)____. I think people who genuinely want to connect will, regardless of medium. :) I hope this helps, sweet soul! I am cheering you on in your journey.

    I want to incorporate more digital minimalism. How can I continue my social media book marketing with Instagram reels and stories without a smart phone?

    • @KAEmmons
      @KAEmmons  16 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I upload videos to instagram from my computer and I think it goes into the reels section? You might be able to find a scheduling app on your PC that can do this.
