Introducing:
The 5-Week Phone Fight
A Proven System to Break Free From Spending Too Much Time on your Phone!
Discover the skills and tools you need to set reasonable, healthy boundaries with your phone and reclaim your focus, productivity, and happiness.
Last spring I hit rock 🪨 bottom.
For months, I had been in a digital nose-dive—scrolling and gaming for hours a day. I felt crabby, foggy-headed, my productivity was in the garbage, and I felt irritable with my kids, distant from my husband, and my life felt flat.
I figured I was exhausted and worn-out from burnout and stress caused by, oh, you know, the state of the world.
I was wrong… It was my phone.
After one particularly bleak, all-night mobile gaming session–just me and my phone in my home office for 7 hours, I realized my behavior with my phone had to change.
I had no idea that that rock-bottom moment would change my whole life.
To be fair, I’d already tried everything out there to break away from my phone—reading books, changing the settings on my phone, installing time-limit apps. None of it worked.
I needed something deeper, with structure, accountability, and a way to break out of the isolation and shame I was feeling.
So, I went all in—researching phone addiction, dopamine cycles, and how to change behavior. I studied how phones are rewiring our brains and I interviewed my friends and family about their experiences with their tech. The 5-Week Phone Fight was born.
I created this program because nothing else like it exists.
And, friends, The 5-Week Phone Fight works.
What I learned is that every person’s phone addiction is different… but the fundamentals are the same.
Whether you want to end doom scrolling, get your focus back, banish Candy Crush for good, or simply stop feeling like you can’t live without your device, The 5-Week Phone Fight will give you the skills, tools, and support to do it.
The biggest cause of failed attempts to set healthy boundaries with phones is when we try to white-knuckle our way through.
We think:
"I just need more willpower."
"If I delete the social media app, I’ll be fine."
"I should be able to put it down–it’s just a phone!"
When we try to cut back, we go in with the wrong expectations—and we fail. Then, we blame ourselves instead of the flawed approach.
We don’t realize that every day our phones are literally rewiring our brains to crave them. And without the right strategies, we keep falling into the same trap.
It’s easy to see how this leads to wasted hours, mental exhaustion, and constant guilt about spending time on our phones, right?
So How Do We Get Free?
Reading books/articles on how bad phones are for our brains isn’t enough.
Willpower isn’t enough.
Simply deleting apps isn’t enough.
Installing limiting apps (that are easy to outsmart) isn’t enough.
All these approaches are missing the formula I discovered:
Break + Blueprint = A Permanent Shift
What I teach inside The 5-Week Phone Fight is a structured, step-by-step process that leverages real world fun over a span of five weeks to rewire your brain for long-term change.
You will:
Break the cycle of compulsive scrolling without feeling deprived,
Retrain your brain for deep focus so you can actually get things done, and
Create permanent boundaries with your phone that will stick - hallelujah!

What The 5-Week Phone Fight is NOT:
NOT a Lecture—No guilt-tripping, no scolding, just practical help.
NOT a boring, poorly produced class–the course was shot in partnership with Thrive Studios, with professional equipment. It’s gorgeous!
NOT About Total Abstinence—You set the boundaries.
NOT a One-Size-Fits-All Fix—It’s tailored to your needs.
NOT Just About Willpower—It’s about outsmarting the tech that’s outsmarting you.
With all that said - this is also NOT a Quick Fix—Real change takes time, and we focus on lasting transformation. That’s why it’s the 5-Week Phone Fight, not the 5-DAY Phone Fight! 😉
FAQs
-
Nope. Not if you do the work. This class is designed to be engaging, empowering, and highly motivating. Unlike other online courses you may have purchased and abandoned, this one has higher stakes—your mental and physical health. If you come READY FOR CHANGE, this course will DELIVER.
-
Not at all. We all rely on our phones these days. Some of us (read: Emmy) can hardly drive to the grocery store without GPS. What you will do is decide, for yourself, which apps and behaviors are troubling for you. Then you will make a plan to eliminate the tricky apps and behaviors for a set period of time. After that period of time, you will decide if and how you want to re-engage with the problematic apps and behaviors.
-
This course is designed for people who have recognized that their phone use is negatively impacting their lives and are ready to make a real change. It’s for those who are ready to take control, break free from unhealthy habits, and create a healthier relationship with technology. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or just know that it's time to reassess your phone use, this course will help guide you through the process of transformation.
-
Yes. You will need to invest time during the course for reflection and to do the exercises, but remember, within one week of beginning the course, you will change your behavior, significantly cutting down time you are wasting on social media, gaming, shopping, doom scrolling, etc. You will suddenly have a lot more time to get things done because all that time you were wasting will be available for work, organization, making plans with friends, attending to kids, etc.
-
The course is set up so that a bulk of the learning and deep-diving happens at the beginning, when your motivation will be strongest. After that, 5 short, daily lessons per week keep you engaged, supported, and your morale high. If you miss some of those, it’s no problem. Then at the end of the course, there’s an important reintegration process where you will figure out how to go forward now that your phone has been put in its proper place.
-
It’s possible to shave a few days off the start of the course by completing the Prep Week lessons in a short amount of time. But the heart of the course is a 30-day abstinence period. This is the amount of time your brain needs to heal and recover from excessive phone usage.
-
No problem! While the course is designed to be completed in five weeks, you can take breaks and go through it at a pace that works best for you. You’ll have lifetime access to the course content, so you can revisit any materials whenever you need.
-
None beyond paper, a pencil, and a computer or phone to access the online platform.
The 5-Week Phone Fight course focuses on practical, low-cost methods to help you break free from phone addiction. Emmy does recommend some additional reading, so you might want to purchase books or get them from a library. She also recommends you purchase some art/crafting supplies, but these are optional purchases. (These are laid out in the Prep section, so you will have time to get them if you want to.)
-
Absolutely! The course is designed to be accessible for everyone, regardless of your tech skills. The tasks are simple and straightforward, and we provide easy-to-follow instructions for everything.
-
Yes, we do see the irony there. But actually, it’s preferable to take the course on your laptop or desktop computer.
In addition, much of the actual work you’l be doing is completely offline. But remember, this course is not about putting down your phone and never picking it up again.
For most people, phones are tools that are used every day. We fully appreciate that. What this course does is help you identify the addictive patterns of usage you are trapped in and break those patterns.
-
Yes! We offer a commitment-based refund policy.
Because this course is designed for people who are truly ready to break free from their phone and make lasting changes, we have put the following policy in place:
If you complete the first three modules but still feel the program isn’t right for you, email us at fightyourphone@gmail.com, and we will issue a refund.
This policy exists because real change requires real commitment. If you enroll, we expect you to fully engage and give yourself the best chance at success.
If you are not truly ready to break free from addictive phone behaviors, we encourage you not to enroll.
After May 10, 2025, this policy will change slightly. Then, if within 21 days of purchase, you complete the first three modules but still feel the program isn’t right for you, email us at fightyourphone@gmail.com, and we will issue a refund. After May 15, no refunds will be granted after 21 days.
-
The platform the class is offered on has a robust support team if you have any technical issues. If you have a question about the content of the course, or the directions for any of the lessons, you can reach out to our support team via email at fightyourphone@gmail.com. We're here to help with any questions or concerns you may have during the course!
