This week I’m sharing another fab convo from my Instagram live archives with digital wellbeing coach, culture trainer and speaker Sam Flynn about navigating parenthood in a digital world. 

Technology is almost unavoidable in today's day and age – and can have a really profound (often negative) impact on us, as individuals and as parents. 

I certainly find that technology (especially my iPhone) can make raising kids quite stressful and it has had quite a profound impact on my mental health at times too. So I was eagerly soaking up all of Sam’s wisdom!! 

During this conversation Sam shares how her own addiction to her smartphone and research into why this happens helped her to establish a more positive way of incorporating technology into her home life 

PLUS how her background in Organisational Psychology led her into a career as a digital wellbeing coach working with individuals, businesses and schools to manage their relationship with the digital world to promote positive use, rather than causing a negative impact on their lives.

During this episode Sam imparts some invaluable and highly accessible tips and insights that really highlight why creating and embedding these new habits is so important - for our own wellbeing as well as our kids. 

(NB: please excuse a few recording and sound imperfections on this episode, part of which was originally recorded as an Instagram live rather than using a professional podcast setup. I've managed to let it go - so I hope you can too! ;-) )
