Simple Farmhouse Life · The Farmhouse Edit: Screens vs. the Village: Why Moms Don’t Really Lack Time | RuthAnn of Homesteading with the Zimmermans · 3 Sep 2026 podcast

I think it's an important one though, honestly.

I think I think, you know, there's all this information out there about children and screens and and how it affects their focus.

But it's the same with adults because that dopamine hit, we get so addicted to it, and we need to wean ourselves from that and we need to instead look at this bread that yes, maybe it took you a long time.

To make this bread, but we need to look at it and get a dopamine hit from seeing that bread and saying, This is gonna feed my family.

And I have cut out a dozen or more ingredients.

We need to make that be our dopamine hit.

And living in the day and age that we do, we have to be intentional and we have to tell ourselves, look what I did.

Say it out loud because your brain needs to.

hear you say, look what I did.

I've cut out 12 or more toxic ingredients and we're gonna eat of this bread.

I'm gonna make you know sandwiches and then I'm gonna make French toast.

we have to override in our brains what screens have done to our brains.

It's exactly right.

So number one, screens kill your creativity.

And for moms that's huge.

When moms lack creativity

Everybody suffers in the home.

So the screens kill the your creativity.

And then you're searching for a dopamine hit that is unnatural.

It's like being addicted to a drug, right?
