Real Talk with Ben and Kimi

Listen Later

We hit unsubscribe—and not just to save a few bucks. In this episode of Real Talk with Ben and Kimi, we share why we canceled our Netflix and Disney+ subscriptions and what we’re doing instead. From wanting less overstimulation and more imagination for our kids, to being mindful about the content slipping into “family-friendly” shows, this was a values-based decision we couldn’t ignore.

We dive into:

  • Why we want our kids to know what boredom feels like

  • The power of fewer choices and less screen time—for them and us

  • What we’re using instead (spoiler: we love Angel Studios)
