173: What Could You Do With 2 Additional Hours in Your Day?

In this episode Sasha shares how to check your social media usage and encourages listeners to explore the possibility of what God things they could do with that time instead.

Sasha’s goal isn’t to get everyone to leave social media for good, but to become aware at the amount of time they spent on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. When we become aware of these things, we are able to take action on our habits to create the results we actually desire in life and we are able to achieve those God-led goals that He has been calling us to for longer than we’d like to admit.
