Helping Families with Digital Detox, Mindfulness & Intentional Tech
Hello, I’m Carla!
I help busy families hit pause on the digital chaos and reconnect with each other, with nature, and with what actually matters.
From designing tech-free family challenges, simplifying life with AI, or just reclaiming a little breathing room… this blog is where we figure it out together.
But if you really want to know me?
Here’s a peek behind the curtain:
🧠 I love learning about… everything.
I’m the kind of person who falls down research rabbit holes for fun. A few of my forever fascinations:
- Digital Well-being – obviously. I geek out over dopamine loops, family tech habits, and screen-free design.
- Decluttering as a Mindset Shift – I’m working hard in 2025 to simplify my space and my schedule. This article was a game-changer for me: From Clutter to Clarity – Rewire Your Brain to Let Go
- Zodiac & Mystical Stuff – I’m a Virgo through and through. My favorite horoscope info pages (equal parts fun and thoughtful) come from Quest Mystic.
- Spooky Folklore & Ghost Town Travel – Don’t get me started on abandoned places and hauntings. This blog is such a vibe: SpookyTraveling.com
- Jazz and Vintage Mashups – My go-to soundtrack while I write is Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox. Think Beyoncé meets swing piano. It works, I swear.
🧭 Why Unplug Journey exists
I started this project because I was tired of feeling like my best memories were being interrupted by pings, swipes, and endless digital noise.
As a mom, a parks and rec nerd, and someone who deeply believes in intentional living, I wanted to create a space that helps other families breathe again.
If you’ve ever:
- Felt guilty about screen time
- Wanted more fun and less “scroll-and-yell” cycles
- Or just needed a permission slip to slow down
You’re in the right place.
