HEART BEHIND THE MISSION

I'M ALICIA

I empower overwhelmed parents to cultivate intentional awareness of their screen habits, reduce overstimulation, and foster deeper, more meaningful connections—without guilt, shame, or an unrealistic all-or-nothing approach. I love traveling, hiking in nature, going on day dates with my husband, and enjoying simple everyday moments with our family! 

As a wife, a mom of two rainbow babies (and three precious ones in heaven), and having professional experience as a Licensed Social Worker, I’ve been where you are—juggling it all while trying to create a peaceful, connected home.

The past fourteen years have taught me a lot about navigating overwhelm. Between grief, career changes, and the joys + challenges of growing our family, I’ve seen how easy it is to fall into cycles of overstimulation and default to utilizing screens as an outlet for relief.

 

From Overwhelmed to Present Parenting

Creating a Screen-Free Bond with Your Family

Practical Strategies for a Peaceful Home

MY STORY

 

I know what it feels like to be stretched thin—torn between work, family, and the ever-present pull of screens. Through my own experience as a Licensed Social Worker and a parent, I watched as overstimulation and digital distractions crept into our home, leaving us feeling disconnected, rushed, and constantly on edge.

I didn’t want our days to be filled with half-hearted conversations and missed moments—I desperately desired presence, peace, and authentic connection. So, I dug deep. Through research, trial and error, and my own lived experience, I found strategies that truly transformed our family dynamic. Strategies that cultivated less chaos, more calm. Less disconnection, more meaningful moments.

That’s why I created Unplugged Family Roots—I know firsthand how hard it is to break free from the frantic overwhelm, the exhaustion, the constant pull of devices, the feeling that true connection is slipping away. But I also know change is possible. And now, as a coach, I’m here to help other families reclaim the presence and peace they yearn to experience.
