the story.

Why I Started POP

It didn't start in a boardroom. It started with noticing.

Noticing my husband reach for his phone mid-conversation. Noticing people at restaurants, side by side, scrolling in silence. Noticing people become burnt out and not know why. Noticing people struggle to hold a real conversation because somewhere along the way — the skill quietly left them.

It made me genuinely sad.

Then I looked at my own home. My boys and I could talk with each other, laugh loudly, dance in public, and sit in silence without reaching for a device to fill it. We weren't perfect — but we had balance. We were living life fully.
If I figured this out at home, I could share it with the world. That was how Presence Over Pixels was born.
I started with an observation and a solution — but not yet the science. So I went and got it. I immersed myself in scientific research studies, examined the psychology of digital design, and developed a critical eye on culture.

What started as a personal observation became a framework. What started at home became a movement.

This is a real evolution. And it's just getting started.  
THe Approach

The Solution Isn't Going Backward.
It's Going Forward With Intention.

I don't teach detoxes.   I teach discernment. 

I don't teach restriction.   I teach regulation. 

I don't point to the problem.   I build the pathway to something better. 

When people understand how digital design influences their behavior — and gain real tools to navigate it — everything changes. Work feels lighter. Relationships feel richer. Life feels real again. 

What I Do

I Don't Just Talk About the Problem.
I Bring the Roadmap.

Through keynotes, workshops, and leadership training I help organizations, schools, and families understand how digital design shapes human behavior — and what to do about it. Every session is research-backed, immediately applicable, and designed to meet people exactly where they are.

Signature Talks Include: 
  • Sex, Drugs, Rock & Scroll: The neuroscience behind why your phone feels impossible to put down — and what that's really costing you.
  • Pressed: A raw, honest look at burnout, cognitive overload, how tech contributes, and what it actually takes to recover.
  • Face to Face: Why human connection is the most underrated performance tool we have — and how to get it back.
  • Discomfort Is Dope: The case for productive friction, resilience, and why avoiding hard things is making us softer and less effective.
  • Now Playing: Your Life: A Five Presence Zones™ framework for reclaiming your attention and living a life that actually feels like yours.
Let's Work Together

The Good Stuff is Waiting.

Not on your feed. Not in your notifications. Not on the other side of one more scroll.

It's in the room you're already in. The people already around you. The life you're already living — just more fully.

I built POP to help you get there. I'd love to bring that work to your organization, your school, your stage, or your life.
