Technology is a wonderful tool, but it makes a poor master. In this episode, Felica talks with Diane Boden from Minimalist Moms Podcast about implementing digital minimalism in our homes. She offers a realistic view of life with screens and kids, embracing the messy middle of life and coexisting with them. 

They touch on many concrete tips to make it achievable from independent play to hard conversations about devices in your home (peer pressure!). We view the screen epidemic as very dangerous. If we band together as parents and question societal norms we can lead our kids to a more connected and aware future.

BEST PODCAST!

I can’t even begin to describe how this podcast has helped me in my motherhood journey. It has truly helped me crawl out of the survival mode hole I was in with two young kids. It has helped me find myself again, take better care of myself again, live an intentional life, and continues to help me grow to be a better/happier version of myself to be a better mom and wife. This podcast has also introduced me to countless books that have also been transformative. This podcast, along with the journal, has been my life guide and I’m so grateful for it every day.
