DIGITAL DETOX FOR WORKING MOMS:

Hook: 

        Start with a relatable scenario—e.g., a mom juggling work emails while making dinner.

Problem Statement: Highlight the constant digital overload working moms face—work demands, parenting apps, social media, etc.

Purpose: 

         Explain how a digital detox can help reduce stress, improve focus, and restore balance.

Example:

       You're answering work emails with one hand and holding your toddler with the other. Sound familiar? If you're a working mom feeling stretched thin by screen time, a digital detox might be exactly what you need.
