Q&A with
Julia
Do you have a moment when you realized your phone was getting in the way of what’s important to you?
It is a common complaint I hear from the couples I work with. I often request that my husband and family members make our meal times no-phone zones. Then, one day, I noticed my husband asking me to get off my phone. And a few days later, my son made a similar comment. As my work gets busier and my social media channels grow, I have gotten better at making excuses for why it was okay to be on my phone. That isn't what I want. I am excited to start setting boundaries and prioritizing what matters most.
What attracted you to Aro?
Joey's story of his heartache of missing his son's big moment resonated with me deeply. I loved that he had turned the suffering into something that could help me and others not miss what matters most.
