Heard of phone-sober walks? Me neither, until recently. It was a term I stumbled upon by happy accident while I was searching for encouragement to get outside, during what has undeniably been a bleak few weeks.
I'm fairly happy with my relationship with my phone. Doom scrolling is (thankfully) something I left in 2025, but I'm still reliant on my phone as much as the next girl. Even the short walks I take as middle-of-the-workday resets (happening less often than I'd like, recently) are accompanied by my phone in my pocket, despite the fact that I know I'm not going to need it.
