How bad is screen time really for your kids? And, how much screen time should they have?

As a pediatric ophthalmologist, this is the #1 question I get from my patients and from you all online.

In this episode, I'm diving deep into the studies of screen time and nearsightedness, the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmologists and American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation for children's screen time and what I personally do in my house of 3 screen addicted kids.

Have you ever really looked at who is in your inner circle? Like who are the friends you turn to in crisis? Who you are surrounding yourself with?

I’m a reformed people pleaser and I used to befriend people b/c they liked me. And it took me until my 20’s to realize that my inner circle was so vital to how I was functioning, dreaming, and achieving and that place shouldn’t just go to anyone. I had to be more thoughtful about the people I was allowing into my mental space.

In this episode, I am going to share with you how female friendships have truly gotten me to where I am today and the 5 questions to ask yourself about the women in your inner circle.

aloha,

Dr. Rupa

In this episode, we're talking about discovering and scheduling time for your non-negotiables to harmonize work and life.

If you're feeling like something feels off, that you're anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, unhappy, disorganized, unsettled and that you are doing ALL the things for everyone, then you need to reprioritize what allows you to be your best self - the best version of yourself at work, partner, spouse, parent, friend, colleague. 

Today I'm going to teach you to identify your non-negotiables and how to make time to implement them each week. 

I'll dive deep into what my life looked like when I neglected these and how incorporating them weekly has allowed me to integrate my work and life, home and family much more seamlessly, without resentment, burnout or overwhelm.

So if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and do the work, you may find that your stress and chaos can be decreased too.
