Being a parent in this digital age is hard. I know. I've got a 6yo and am trying to navigate my way through in this new wild west. Fortunately, I know people. Madlin Mangrum is a homeschooling mom who also happens to be a friend and colleague as well as the founder of Unplugged Family. Join me as we chat about the challenges and possible solutions to bringing our kids up with technology.

Talking Parenting in the Digital Age with Madlin Mangrum

Hi there, this is Jo Self, Daughter of David Self – a collector of hippos and a self-proclaimed benevolent dictator.  I am super thrilled to be launching my new podcast, Conversations I Wish I could have with my Dad. You might be wondering what this is all about. Honestly, it’s possibly a bit self-indulgent, but I also hope it will be both entertaining and informative. The biggest reason I’ve decided to do this is because I really miss talking with my dad. We used to have the best conversations. They would be political, intellectual, inspirational, humorous – really, a bit of everything. There was nothing, and I mean nothing, I couldn’t talk about with him. And nowadays, even though we are all connected via the web or social media, I feel like there isn’t always a safe space to have provocative conversations. Ones where opinions are allowed to be shared without the intention of changing anyone’s mind, but to purely connect and show a different viewpoint. During this first season, I’m covering topics from as simple a giving a bit of backstory on my Dad, Dave, but I’m also exploring what community means, how we grieve, euthanasia, conscious capitalism and more. We’re running the gambit. With that said, I hope you’ll tune in and give us a chance.
