She knew then that something had to change. The StatusNow App was born to help people feel free to disconnect and be more present in their lives, while still ensuring that their responsibilities are covered. In 2018 she quit her job in operations for a consulting company to devote herself to developing the StatusNow app and give us all more control over our time and technology.In this episode, Susie shares the creation story of the StatusNow app and how it will help others to be more present in their lives.“Well-being is making good choices for yourself and enabling you to choose what you want to do.”- Susie MelnickTimestamps:02:00 — An overview of the StatusNow app05:25 — Susie's inspiration to develop the StatusNow app07:05 — Why she thinks it is important to find ways to be disconnected and be present09:44 — Success stories from users of the StatusNow app, Susie's testimonial on how it helped her11:26 — Her advice on app creation15:22 — Launching the app20:15 — The future of the StatusNow app, where people can get it22:30 —  How she integrates work and life using the app as a mom and entrepreneur24:38 — Things Susie does every day to enhance her well-being26:00 — Susie's definition of well-being, “I feel like it’s not necessarily doing something on your own, I feel like it’s making a choice that you got to do.”Key Takeaways“I understand we are not going back in the days where you rush home to check your answering machine but I do feel like there is a way to kind of something in between where things aren’t gonna happen so instantly and it’s okay.”- Susie Melnick“The app is making it so I can be in a meeting and not feel like I’m missing a call from my child being sick.”- Susie Melnick“I feel like the app is somewhere act like an assistant.
