In this episode, I sit down with Jon Fogel, author and creator of the viral parenting platform @wholeparent, to talk about what it really takes to raise kids in today’s world — and how parenting needs to change as we head into 2026.

We unpack the realities of modern parenting, the impact of social media and screen time on kids, and the pressure parents feel trying to do everything right in a digital-first culture.

Jon shares practical, grounded advice on how to become a more present, emotionally aware, and intentional parent — without perfection or guilt.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• How social media is affecting kids’ emotional health
• The biggest parenting mistakes happening right now
• Why parenting feels harder than ever
• What kids actually need from parents today
• How to raise emotionally resilient kids
• Parenting strategies for 2026 and beyond
• Setting boundaries with screens, phones, and tech
• How parents can stay connected in a distracted world

This episode is for parents, soon-to-be parents, and anyone trying to raise kids with intention, empathy, and awareness in an increasingly online world.Follow Jon at https://www.instagram.com/wholeparent/
