Episode about How to Break up with Your Phone

How to Break up With Your Phone by Catharine Price

This episode was inspired by an instagram post we found from Corrine Stokoe (linked below). She found an article of heirloom pieces you may want to gift your daughters and it sparked the idea of truly timeless pieces to pass down to your children: values and lessons you want them to always keep in their hearts. In this episode we discuss a few things that we want to gift our children and encourage you to take time to make a small list for your own home!

Him and Her Podcast episode with Alan Stein Jr.

This episode was a request from a listener and something that we think about DAILY so we were grateful for the opportunity to really hone in on a topic we feel is so relatable and important. In this episode we discuss a number of tactics that we use to help manage overstimulation as a parent. We talk about how we spend our time with our children, scheduling regular times to be alone, improving phone habits, implementing a perspective check, and setting an intention for the day.
