BONUS: Why the Screen Time Reset Is Now 1:1 (And Why It Matters for Your Breakthrough)
Dec 1200:13:05Tap to summarizeIn this bonus episode of God-Sized Dreams, Melissa shares an honest and important update about the Screen Time Reset — one she didn’t expect when she launched the program just a few weeks ago. What began as a group coaching format has now shifted to a fully personalized 1-on-1 coaching experience, and in this episode, Melissa explains exactly why. From realizing how differently women use their screens, to seeing how emotional patterns and triggers vary from person to person, it became clear that screen time struggles are deeply personal — and the solution has to be personal too. Melissa opens up about: Why group coaching wasn’t the right fit for this transformation How God led her to shift directions with humility and obedience The emotional and practical reasons women need individualized support Why 30-minute private sessions offer better results than 60-minute group calls What’s coming next — including the return of The Success Lounge And why reclaiming your time is the necessary foundation for the habits God is calling you to build If you’ve been considering the Screen Time Reset but weren’t sure whether group coaching would fit your schedule, your emotional bandwidth, or your current capacity, this short conversation will give you the clarity you need. Key Takeaways ● Screen time struggles are deeply personal Anxiety, boredom, emotional numbing, stress, habit loops, dopamine, work pressure — everyone’s reasons are different. ● Group coaching adds pressure when time is already tight Women are too overwhelmed for replays or long sessions. Personalized support removes the barrier. ● Why 1:1 coaching is the best fit Melissa can read tone, hesitation, posture, and emotional cues — things lost when she doesn't get to interact with you. ● 30 minutes is realistic — and powerful Shorter sessions create consistency, accountability, and momentum without overwhelming your schedule. ● Reclaiming your time is step one for all future growth You can’t build healthy habits, routines, or purpose-filled rhythms on top of distraction and overstimulation. ● The Success Lounge is returning — but the 1:1 Reset is the prerequisite Women need clarity, capacity, and grounded routines before stepping into the deeper group work. Join the Screen Time Reset (Now 1:1 Coaching) If you’re ready to reclaim your time and break the patterns that keep you overwhelmed, exhausted, and distracted, the Screen Time Reset is now a private, personalized coaching experience designed just for you. 👉 Sign up here: https://melissabattcoaching.myflodesk.com/screenreset Early-enrollment pricing is available through January.

Transcribe →Mental Health, Distractions & Phone Addiction: What the Holidays Reveal About Your Habits
Dec 400:15:39Tap to summarizeIn this episode of God-Sized Dreams, Melissa shares a vulnerable and eye-opening look at the screen-time habits most of us finally noticed over the holidays — the constant checking, the overstimulation, the emotional numbing, and the way our phones quietly steal presence, peace, and connection. After asking her own family to check their screen-time data, Melissa discovered five-hour phone averages, 100–168 pickups a day, and more than 300 notifications in a single day. These numbers tell a story many of us feel but haven’t put words to: we are overwhelmed, distracted, and operating on mental overload… and our phones have become our default coping mechanism. This conversation isn’t about perfection or giving up your phone completely. It’s about finding one specific area where your phone is stealing something important — bedtime connection with your husband, dinner-table moments with your kids, or the space you need to hear from God — and learning how to protect that place with intention. If you are struggling with brain fog, feeling overstimulated, or emotionally overwhelmed as you head into winter, this episode will help you name what’s been happening, breathe a sigh of relief, and take a small baby step toward greater clarity and presence. Key Takeaways ● What holiday rhythms reveal about your screen-time habits Why slowing down helps you notice what you're normally too busy to see. ● Five-hour averages, 300 notifications & nonstop pickups How these small interruptions slowly drain your mental and emotional capacity. ● The link between phone addiction, anxiety & emotional numbing Why your phone becomes a coping mechanism when you’re overstimulated or exhausted. ● Procrastination, online shopping & escaping discomfort How distraction sneaks in when your brain is overwhelmed or tired ● Why this isn’t about getting off your phone completely Practical truth: it’s about getting specific with the area that matters most. ● Melissa’s personal story: protecting the bedtime hour How one small shift is changing the atmosphere of her home and marriage. Baby Step Challenge Choose ONE specific space where your phone is stealing connection, peace, or clarity — bedtime, dinner, after-school hours, car rides, or quiet mornings — and protect that space for the next three days. Simple, intentional, doable. Ready to Be More Present & Less Distracted? Join the 12-Week Screen Time Reset, where you’ll learn how to build calmer rhythms, lower your overwhelm, and reconnect with the people (and purpose) that matter most. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about one small shift at a time. 👉 Join the Screen Time Reset Work With Melissa Whether you’re ready for a full six months of breakthrough coaching or want to start small with a single Breakthrough Unstuck Session, you can take your next step today.

Transcribe →Anxiety, Distraction and Overstimulation: Why You Need a Screen Time Reset Now
Nov 2600:09:22Tap to summarizeIn this episode of God-Sized Dreams, Melissa Batt opens the doors to the brand-new 12-Week Screen Time Reset and walks you through the deeper spiritual and emotional reasons behind your constant distraction, anxiety, and overwhelm. If your mind feels scattered… If your phone is the first thing you grab in the morning… If you feel disconnected from God, your family, or your own thoughts… This episode is your wake-up call. Melissa shares the urgency God placed on her heart to launch this reset now, not later, and explains why waiting until January keeps so many women stuck in cycles of avoidance, numbing, overstimulation, and survival mode. She breaks down how unhealthy screen habits affect your mental health, spiritual clarity, peace, and ability to hear God’s voice. You’ll learn what makes this reset different from quick-fix “digital detoxes” and why the combination of emotional regulation, discipleship, nervous system care, and weekly accountability is exactly what your mind and heart have been needing. If you’ve felt God nudging you to deal with this area of your life—or if you’re simply exhausted from feeling overwhelmed and mentally overloaded—this conversation will help you take your first baby step toward peace, clarity, and presence with God again. Key Takeaways ● [00:02] — Welcome & Invitation Why the Screen Time Reset is starting now and why the timing matters for your peace, clarity, and mental health. ● [01:20] — Anxiety & Overstimulation How constant scrolling rewires your brain, fuels anxious thoughts, and keeps your nervous system in a state of overload. ● [03:05] — Why This Isn’t a Digital Detox This reset is not “delete your apps.” It’s healing, awareness, discipleship, emotional regulation, and rebuilding presence with God. ● [04:25] — Signs Your Phone Is Numbing You Melissa breaks down the coping patterns—avoidance, emotional overload, distraction, and survival mode—that often hide behind screen time. ● [06:05] — The Enemy Loves Comfort Why the discomfort you feel about changing your habits is often confirmation that breakthrough is needed now. ● [07:10] — What You Get Inside the Reset Weekly coaching, accountability, nervous system care tools, Scripture-centered rhythms, habit rewiring, and a community of women doing this with you. ● [08:05] — The Purpose Behind the Urgency How distraction can cause you to miss what matters most—and why God is inviting you to partner with Him now, not later. Your Next Step If this episode stirred something in you — if you felt conviction, urgency, or even a little resistance — that’s your sign. Your next step isn’t to try harder or cut back on your phone alone. Your next step is to say yes and let God meet you inside this reset.
