You're not addicted to your phone; you're being manipulated. Catherine Price, author of How to Break Up With Your Phone and The Awesome Generation, joins the More for Moms Conference to reveal what the apps on your phone are really designed to do (hint: the same engineers studied slot machines). But this isn't another shame-fest about screen time. Catherine digs into why willpower alone never works, what your kids are silently noticing about your phone habits (every kid she's asked has a story), and the surprisingly small tweaks that can shift your whole family's relationship with screens—starting with a breakup letter to your phone and a $10 alarm clock. If you've ever ended an hour-long scroll wondering where your evening went, this one's for you.

FREEBIE for all: Family Screen/Life Balance Starter Kit A PDF kit from Catherine Price with a suggested road map for when/how to introduce your kids to tech, Catherine's suggested family guidelines for how to create better boundaries with devices, recommendations for books and products, and a 15% discount off of her 7-day Family Plan for Screen/Life Balance.

BONUS raffled off to All-Access Pass Holders: 7-Day Family Guide to Screen/Life Balance Sick of fighting with your kids over screen time, social media, and smartphones? The Family Guide to Screen/Life Balance — delivered as a digital download — is a 7-day plan designed to help you and your family (including your partner/spouse and your kids) create better screen/life balance TOGETHER. Each day, you’ll receive a concrete assignment or exercise that will help you and your family establish healthy habits and boundaries with screens, social media, smartphones, and video games. You’ll also receive discussion questions designed to prompt conversation and level the playing field between you and your kids. The goal? To turn confrontations over screen time into productive conversations—and to help create better screen/life balance for everyone in the family.

You got the kids down. Now you're scrolling, overthinking, or squeezing in "one more thing," and your own sleep is the casualty. Sound familiar? In this conversation, sleep expert and 17-year clinical therapist, Chrissy Lawler (aka The Peaceful Sleeper), flips the script on the either/or trap moms fall into: either my kid gets rest, or I don't. She makes the bold case that the best thing you can be for your children is well, and that prioritizing your sleep isn't selfish. It's strategy. We dive into the sneaky habits quietly wrecking your sleep (and the surprisingly simple fixes), the "junk sleep" trap, what nobody tells you about sleep aids, and why you can't problem-solve at 2 AM. Whether your kids are sleeping through the night and you're still not, or you're deep in survival mode, this session will convince you that better sleep is possible—and worth fighting for.

FREEBIE for all: The Maternal Mental Health Class (part of the Peaceful Mama Bundle--code "moreformoms")

Access to the Peaceful App gives you unlimited access to all sleep training and maternal mental health courses, live coaching events with Chrissy Lawler, an active parents community, and discounts to sleep training consultations with The Peaceful Sleeper's certified sleep consultants.



Chrissy Lawler is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 17 years of experience, as well as the owner, founder, and CEO of The Peaceful Sleeper, where she offers coaching, courses, and resources for parents to achieve better sleep and mental health for their babies and themselves. Her central premise is that quality sleep is critically important for the whole family system, but it doesn't matter how we get there - as long as we do.

What if the secret to surviving the daily mom grind isn't more time off—it's making the ordinary feel special? Jess Massey is back at the More for Moms conference, and this time she's talking about something that sounds indulgent but is actually a survival tool: romanticizing your life. Not spa days or shopping sprees; think a candle you only light during your planning session, jazz in the car for school drop-off, or turning a sick day into a blanket-fort movie night (held up by a Swiffer and twine, because perfection is not the point). Jess shares how adding vibes with intention, "movie star energy," and small, sensory touches (ones that cost nothing) can be the very thing that helps you actually be present for the life you're already living. This session is tailor-designed for you If your days are blurring together and you want life to feel different without adding one more thing to your plate.
