166: Life Updates, Parenting, and Social Media Detox with Stef Bare

Key Takeaways

  • Weekend social media fasts restore presence - by disconnecting from digital noise every weekend, the Bares are finding increased creativity and more meaningful engagement with their family.

  • Strict morning and evening routines optimize productivity - focusing on night-before prep and early wake-up times allows for consistent workouts and focused work before the daily chaos of parenting begins.

  • Homeschooling offers a strategic time-back advantage - choosing an alternative education path allows the family to reclaim their schedule, align schooling with their core values, and deepen their bond with their children.

Episode Description

In this episode, Stef and I sit down for a real conversation about our family, faith, routine, and the season we’re currently in right now. We reflect on the chaos and gift of parenting, why we’ve chosen to disconnect from social media on weekends, and how that decision is reshaping our presence, priorities, and creativity. It’s as honest of a look that we can give at what we’re building behind the scenes and the values guiding where we go next.CHAPTERS:00:00 Intro01:00 The Catch Up02:06 Weekend Social Media Fast07:42 Creativity and AI Fears15:20 Homeschooling and Time Back22:54 Morning Routine Overview25:03 Night Before Prep30:32 Early Wake and Workouts37:24 Baby Three?45:36 Fitness Reset54:11 Our Current Faith/Life Direction01:03:42 Vision for Stef's Studio01:16:36 Parenting Season ReflectionsORDER MY BOOK HERE: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210 (https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210)FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 25% off FOR LIFE ⁠https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/collections/performance-nutrition (https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/collections/performance-nutrition)IG: ⁠instagram.com/nickbarefitness/⁠ (instagram.com/nickbarefitness/⁠)YT: ⁠youtube.com/@nickbarefitness (youtube.com/@nickbarefitness)This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal [health or profession] advice.
