Industry: UNPLUGGED Retreat Get Details HERE

I did an experiment: leave my phone at home for a 10-hour music festival and see what happens. Here's the thing — I wasn't scared of getting lost. I was scared of who I'd be without something to check, capture, or Google. So today I'm telling you exactly what happened when I unplugged — and why it's the whole reason Industry Unplugged exists.

As hairstylists and salon owners, we are constantly absorbing other people's energy while running on decision fatigue — and most of us don't even clock it until we're depleted. This episode is my real-time experiment in pulling my mind out of "what do I need to capture" and back into "what am I actually experiencing." Right?

In this episode, we cover:

• Why every single person I told about this experiment called it "dangerous" — and what that reveals about our relationship with our phones
• What happened when I swapped my phone for a Camp Snap camera for a day
• The moment I realized picking up my phone was like going to a mental gym I didn't know I'd stopped attending
• Why being present felt more restorative than a full night of scrolling to decompress
• How this one 10-hour experiment became the entire foundation for the Industry Unplugged retreat
