If you’ve ever felt lost in the modern parenting maze of screens, meltdowns, and boundaries... you’re not alone. In this episode, Heather breaks down the neuroscience behind screen time drama and gives you three powerful tools to create peace in your home (without villainizing technology).

You’ll learn:
1️⃣ Why not all screen time is created equal and how to tell the difference between connection-building vs. connection-breaking screen use.
2️⃣ How to “check yourself before you wreck yourself” by examining your own relationship with screens and modeling mindful tech habits for your kids.
3️⃣ What’s really happening inside a child’s developing brain, and why their “pause button” isn’t fully built yet.

Plus, Heather shares a key co-regulation insight: how your nervous system Bluetooths with your child’s, and how your calm presence teaches them balance in a hyper-stimulating world.

Bonus: Why your screen-time boundaries are valid and loving even if your child doesn’t like them in the moment—and how they protect your child’s attention, emotional stability, and long-term success.

Listen now to bring calm, connection, and clarity back to your family’s tech life.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really going on underneath those power struggles… and sharing one of my favorite tools to help you hold limits and connection at the same time. This is a practical way for parents with different styles to get back on the same page—so your child feels safe, and you feel like yourself again.

Episode 2 — The Two Beliefs That Shape Everything for Your Child
This episode is simple and powerful. You’ll hear why two key beliefs—when felt deep in your body and transmitted to your child via co-regulation—can change the way your child handles frustration, risk, and connection.

Inside, I share how I use these beliefs in real life, what happens when one is missing, and why they work better together. You’ll also walk through a short practice to start wiring them into your own system today.

This is small shift in belief that makes a real difference in your child’s whole world.
