The Quiet Between Clicks and Scrolls

What happens when the place you went to find connection becomes the place you lose yourself?

The Quiet Between Clicks and Scrolls is a candid, personal account of online friendships, broken trust, and learning to protect your peace. Sheri Rhodes-Johnson reflects on the emotional cost of social media, where belonging can come with expectations, loyalty can become exhausting, and other people's demands can leave little room for your own life.

Through experiences of betrayal, creative strain, and the grief of friendships that did not become what she hoped, Sheri explores the difficult work of setting boundaries. She shares what it means to step back, mute the notifications, and stop feeling responsible for everyone else's happiness.

At its heart, this book is about reclaiming time for family, creativity, friendship, and yourself. It makes room for the disappointment of walking away-and the relief that can follow.

For anyone who has felt drained by online drama, pressured to stay available, or guilty for choosing distance, these reflections offer a reminder: you are allowed to take a break. You are allowed to say no. And you are allowed to find quiet between the clicks and scrolls.
