Are you constantly scrolling but still feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck?

In this vulnerable and practical episode, Heather Hester sits down with wellness coach Tracy Whitmore to explore how social media is impacting our mental health, nervous systems, and sense of identity, especially for parents, LGBTQ+ allies, and anyone striving to show up with love in an exhausting, always-on world.

Whether you’re a parent trying to model healthy digital habits, a queer teen navigating online spaces, or simply someone who feels fried by the endless scroll, this conversation offers real-world guidance for protecting your peace. You’ll learn how to listen to your body, set boundaries with compassion, and use simple, science-backed tools to stop the digital spiral and return to presence.

Press play now to understand how social media is wired to keep you hooked and how you can reclaim your agency, energy, and empathy without disconnecting completely.

Hi, I’m Heather Hester, and I’m so glad you’re here!

At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to compassion, authenticity, and transformative allyship, especially for those navigating the complexities of parenting LGBTQ+ kids. Through this podcast, speaking, my writing, and the spaces I create, I help people unlearn bias, embrace their full humanity, and foster courageous, compassionate connection.

If you’re in the thick of parenting, allyship, or pioneering a way to lead with love and kindness, I’m here with true, messy, and heart-warming stories, real tools, and grounding support to help you move from fear to fierce, informed action.

Whether you’re listening in, working with me directly, or quietly taking it all in—I see you. And I’m so glad you’re part of this journey.
