after scroll
Your go-to source for clarity, balance, and better living in the digital age.
Meet Renata Roderick
Founder and Editor in Chief
I created AfterScroll for one simple reason: I’m tired of watching women lose time, clarity, and confidence to the noise of the digital world. I’m a journalist and a researcher by nature. I’ve always been good at two things—looking for truth and making sense of the mess.
After years working with online content and strategy, I finally understood something important: women aren’t overwhelmed because they lack discipline. They’re overwhelmed because the digital world pushes them into every direction at once. That’s where AfterScroll began. A place to help women live well in a digital age—not by running away from technology, but by learning to use it without being consumed by it.
Today I run this Rhode Island–based online magazine the way most modern women run their lives: with a cup of coffee on the kitchen counter, a notebook full of ideas, and a toddler climbing where he shouldn’t. Through AfterScroll, I write for women who want a practical, grounded relationship with technology, without losing their ambition, joy, or sense of self.
I believe in honest conversations, in the quiet strength of daily websites and long-form writing, and in a digital well-being that actually works in the real world. The kind that bends around routines, careers, families, personal goals, and a dozen open tabs.
“I wasted years scrolling my life away. After Scroll exists to help women build real lives they don’t want to escape from.”
What We Do
We help women reclaim their attention and rebuild lives that feel grounded, intentional, and genuinely fulfilling.
Our Value
We believe in depth over noise, attention over distraction, and real life over the endless digital pull. Everything we publish is crafted to help women think more clearly, live more intentionally, and reconnect with themselves.
Our Mission
To equip women with practical tools, grounded insights, and thoughtful guidance that make digital wellness doable in the real world — not a fantasy, not an aesthetic, but a lived, sustainable shift.
After Scroll was created for women who feel pulled in every direction by the pace of the online world. We offer clarity in the noise, perspective in the overwhelm, and practical guidance for those who want a healthier relationship with technology without abandoning modern life. Our content blends digital wellness, lifestyle insight, and real-life storytelling to help women reconnect with what matters.
Our mission is simple: to help women build stronger, calmer, more present lives — lives that aren’t dictated by screens, but enhanced by intentional use of them.
Through honest conversations, research-driven articles, personal essays, and practical tools, After Scroll gives women the support they need to cultivate resilience, depth, and presence in a world designed for distraction. We believe your attention is one of the most valuable things you own — and we’re here to help you protect it.
