Summary

In a world where screens are practically an extension of ourselves, it’s hard to imagine life without them. From the moment we wake up to the notifications buzzing in our pockets, technology has woven itself into every facet of our daily routines. But what if there was a different way to live? My guest today has taken a bold step back and she’s here to share how YOU can do the same. Erin Loechner, founder of the global tech-free movement The Opt-Out Family, made headlines by walking away from a million social media followers to embrace a low-tech lifestyle. As a former influencer, Erin’s recent journey to tech-free living is nothing short of inspiring! Her new book, “The Opt-Out Family: How to Give Your Kids What Technology Can’t,” invites us to reconsider our relationship with technology—not just as families, but as individuals looking to reclaim our time and attention. In our conversation, Erin shares her powerful story of transformation, the hidden costs of our smartphone dependence, and practical steps we can take to unplug and connect more deeply with ourselves and the world around us. Click play if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your screen time or curious about what life could look like beyond the digital noise!

0:00.0	One of our family mottoes is be more engaging than the algorithm. And it did help me to learn how to engage.
0:07.4	It did help me be curious enough about the people in my house that I will know them more than an
0:13.3	Instagram ad does, which is my deepest goal in life, right? I want to know the people in my life
0:17.5	more than an Instagram ad does. And we're getting there. I'm Jenna Goetcher,
0:21.8	your host of the Gold Digger podcast. I escaped the corporate world at the age of 23 with nothing
0:27.5	more than a $300 camera from Craigslist and a dream. Now I'm running a seven-figure online business
0:33.6	that feels even better than it looks, all from my house in small town, Minnesota with my
0:38.3	family. Here, we value time as our currency. We mix the woo and the work, and we are in the
0:45.2	pursuit of building businesses that give us the freedom to live lives that we love. I've always
0:50.3	loved turning big goals into reality, and I'm here to help you do the same.
0:54.9	This isn't just a peek behind the curtain. Come along with me and my guests as we tear the whole
0:59.7	curtain down. Every week we tackle practical, no-fluff marketing strategies and host honest

1:12.5	dream business with confidence. Pull up a seat and get ready to be challenged, inspired, and
1:17.7	empowered. This is the Gold Digger podcast. I've done hundreds of episodes of this show.
1:25.9	Hopefully you've listened to many of them. But I feel like today's
1:29.4	episode, this is going to be one that you're going to point back to and say, this changed my life.
1:34.9	In a world where screens are practically an extension of ourselves, it is hard for us to imagine a
1:40.7	life without them. From the moment we wake up to the notifications buzzing in our
1:44.8	pockets, technology has woven itself into every facet of our daily routines. But what if there
1:50.9	was a different way to live? My guest today has taken a bold step back and she's here to share how
