Welcome to Country Proud Living "Where Nurturing Spaces Empower Your Life and Everyday Feels a Little More Like Home." When was the last time you laughed until your cheeks hurt or did something simply because it brought you joy?In this uplifting episode of Country Proud Living, LoriLynn explores how to rediscover joy in midlife through playfulness, gratitude, meaningful connection, and creating a home that supports the life you truly want to live.

The Universe has a unique way of communicating with us, but often we're too distracted to notice the signs we're given. Sometimes we do notice the signs, but quickly disregard them as mere "coincidence". But what if that repeated number, animal visitation, reoccurring symbol or song, or electrical occurrence isn't a coincidence at all? What if these are truly signs from the Divine? Is it possible that our passed loved ones, ancestors, guardian angels, and spirit guides really are working to get our attention each day? As we wander through the lush summer woods, consider the signs that have come into your life. Is it time to start paying attention? What am I reading?The Reimagining of Thornwood House by Jaleigh Johnson https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9798217188819The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again by Catherine Price https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593241424https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?One Way by Twenty One Pilots What's for dinner?Mediterranean Orzo SaladIngredients: I lb orzo pastaCherry tomatoesCucumbersBell pepper GarlicPickled onions & juice Capers Juice of 2 lemonsHandful of fresh basilHandful of fresh dill1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained 2 tablespoons olive oilFresh grated Parmesan cheeseSalt & pepper Instructions: Cook pasta according to package.

Every child wants friendship, freedom, and fun. The question is where they'll find it. Catherine Price returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to talk about her new book The Amazing Generation, written with Jonathan Haidt, and why more young people are starting to question the role screens play in their lives. In this conversation, Catherine explains how tech companies compete for our attention, why so many older teens say they wish they had spent less time online, and what happens when children are given the tools to think for themselves. They discuss real friendship versus digital connection, the growing rebellion against constant screen use, the importance of boredom, hobbies, and outdoor play, and one powerful question every family should ask: If you had three extra hours every day, what would you do with them? This episode will leave you thinking differently about technology, childhood, and the person you're becoming.

Let's cut the crap: this isn't just about screen time. It's about attention—yours, your kids', and who (or what) is stealing it. In this brutally honest (and slightly uncomfortable) conversation, Nicole sits down with Catherine Price—award-winning journalist, author of How to Break Up with Your Phone, and co-author of The Amazing Generation—to unpack what screens are actually doing to our brains, our kids, and our relationships. We're talking about: Why “screen time” is the wrong conversation—and what you should be focusing on instead How constant scrolling is literally rewiring attention spans (for you and your kids) The real cost of distraction: missed memories, weaker relationships, and a life half-lived Why your kids don't need another app—they need your actual presence The difference between useful tech and attention-sucking garbage How to delay smartphones and social media without turning your house into a war zone What kids really notice about your phone habits (hint: everything) Practical ways to reset boundaries—even if you feel like you've already screwed it up This episode isn't about perfection. It's about awareness, intention, and making better choices—starting now. Because every time you pick up your phone, you're choosing what (and who) gets your attention. Thank you to our sponsors!

In this eye-opening episode, your hosts sit down with NYT bestselling author Catherine Price (The Amazing Generation, How to Break Up With Your Phone) to expose how Big Tech companies deliberately engineer apps to keep kids hooked — and what teens can do to fight back. Catherine breaks down why even Silicon Valley CEOs ban their own kids from the platforms they build, how screen addiction compares to the tobacco industry, and simple steps teens can take to reclaim their time, their friendships, and their brains. If you're ready to scroll less and live more — this one's for you.

Catherine Price returns to the podcast to talk about one of the biggest challenges facing parents today: how to help kids build a healthier relationship with screens. Drawing from her new book, The Amazing Generation (co-authored with Jonathan Haidt), this conversation explores how to move from power struggles and fear-based messaging to approaches that build insight, agency, and real buy-in from kids themselves.   Together, we explore:   Why simply telling kids to "get off screens" often backfires. What kids are actually getting from screens (and what they're missing). How to explain to kids that tech companies are designed to capture attention in a way that makes them feel empowered. Why "real world" experiences are critical for development and how screens can crowd them out. Practical ways to support connection and independence without defaulting to smartphones. How to have conversations about screens that don't lead to shutdown or conflict. Simple shifts that can help your child become more aware, reflective, and intentional with technology. Why building a full, engaging life offline naturally reduces screen time.   This conversation is about more than just screen time. It's about helping kids develop the awareness, confidence, and agency to make choices that align with the kind of life they actually want to live, and how we, as parents, can support that process.       LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Smartphone activism as a psychologist in private practice with Dr Erin CarrollWelcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. One of the biggest fears I hear from psychologists and therapists leaving the NHS for independent practice is that they'll lose their connection to the bigger picture, to public health, and that they'll spend all their time working in a silo, working one-to-one, and lose their impact on wider society. But today's guest is proof that being in private practice can actually be the perfect springboard for grassroots activism and community leadership. I'm joined by Dr Erin Carroll, a clinical psychologist who has taken her expertise in emotional development out of the consulting room and into the heart of her community. Erin's been a driving force in the Smartphone Free Childhood movement in our combined hometown of Tunbridge Wells, and she's helped to achieve something really remarkable; getting all of the local secondary head teachers to sign a joint letter supporting brick only phone policies for younger students, something that Erin really believes in. So today we're talking about how we as psychologists can use our training to lead cultural change, and why finding a cause that really lights a fire in your belly is the best antidote to that isolation that we can often feel in private practice.

I recently spoke with Catherine Price about her latest book, "The Awesome Generation," a powerful guide for families aiming to cultivate a healthier relationship with technology, especially for kids. Technology is pervasive, and while it's reshaping childhood, it's vital that we guide our children to use it wisely. It's about balance and taking small, collaborative steps as a family to navigate this digital age. What do our kids gain when they look beyond the screen? A whole world of possibilities where they can reclaim their time for hobbies, adventures, and moments that create lasting memories.

➡ CLICK HERE to send me a text, I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode! Leave your name in the text so I know who it's from! Today on the podcast, I'm excited to introduce you to my niece, Sophia and my sister, Molly. In less than a week, Sophia will turn 13 and I wanted to bring her on the podcast so that - for this last episode of the February series on screens - I could stop talking about teenagers in the hypothetical and start talking to teenagers in real life. Molly texted me after our conversation and asked if there were anything I wanted her to redo, or elaborate on or otherwise say to make it better. But I think this episode is beautiful just as it is. I hope you hear that too. Initially I set out to review the book The Amazing Generation, written by Jonathan Haidt and Catherine Price, released earlier this year. Jonathan Haidt also wrote The Anxious Generation and he's been making the rounds promoting screen-and-social-media-free-childhoods for the last few years. (No doubt, you've heard of him). This book is written for kids, tweens and teens, calling itself "a handbook for living a happy and exciting life that isn't hijacked by a smartphone."  But what you also get (consider it my two-fer to you) ... is an insightful, raw and honest conversation between a mother and daughter (and auntie!). You hear what a conversation about screens can sound like, and a template for sharing the vulnerabilities that come with wanting to move beyond the 'do as I say, not as I do' parenting model. You'll hear why I didn't want to change a thing when my sister asked if there were anything she could have said to make it better. Maybe this will inspire you to have a similar conversation if you've got kids. And if you don't, surely you know someone who might benefit from a conversation like this? I'd be grateful if you'd share it! Links: Book: The Amazing GenerationAuthors' websites: Jonathan Haidt, Catherine PriceWait until 8th pledge Support the showI'd love to hear what you think.

Six hundred episodes in, we're celebrating with Catherine Price—the award-winning journalist behind How to Break Up with Your Phone and The Power of Fun. Catherine makes a simple, wake-you-up claim: our lives become what we pay attention to. She shares how a late-night moment with her newborn sparked a phone “breakup,” why a true Digital Sabbath can feel like oxygen, and how three elements—playfulness, connection, and flow—turn ordinary moments into the kind of fun that leaves you buoyant for days. From adult “extracurriculars” (like a Wednesday-night guitar class and trying rowing for the first time) to a pool game that united kids and grownups for three straight hours, this conversation shows how delight is usually inexpensive, often local, and deeply human. We also dig into the time-value paradox (why we feel too “busy” for fun yet still burn hours doom-scrolling), perfectionism in the age of social media and AI, and SPARK—Catherine's practical path to rediscovering what lights you up. Parents will find timely cues for modeling healthier tech boundaries, nurturing real-world friendships, and helping kids protect curiosity from performance pressure. To mark our 600th episode, would you leave a review and share this one with a friend who could use more true fun in their life? It helps more families find the show and, yes, remember how to live.

Dr. Wendy Rote is joining me to unpack some surprising and even counterintuitive findings about kids, smartphones, and social media. She and her team are in the middle of a groundbreaking longitudinal study following tweens over time, giving us rare insight into how technology is shaping the mental health and identity development of Generation Alpha.   Together we explore:   Why the question “Is social media making kids depressed?” might be the wrong one to ask and what we should be asking instead. A finding that might shock you: Kids with smartphones actually show better physical and mental health outcomes in some key areas. What kind of social media behaviors are linked to more depressive symptoms and why it's not as simple as “time spent online.” How compulsive checking could be a major mental health red flag that parents often miss. New, not-yet-published finding on the real impact school cell phone bans have been shown to have on kids. Why do some kids without phones actually report more cyberbullying and what that might reveal about exclusion and social dynamics? The one tech rule that makes the biggest difference in kids' well-being that has a greater impact that time limits and parental control setting.   If you've ever worried about screen time, debated a phone ban, or felt unsure how to support your child's relationship with tech, this conversation will give you fresh perspective, surprising data, and tangible guidance rooted in real research.   LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Let's face it — your relationship with your phone is toxic. Luckily, Catherine Price is here to help.

The 2024 election pushed some people to put down their phones more and tune out of the news. But author Catherine Price started thinking about breaking up with her phone years ago, after realizing she was focusing on it instead of her newborn daughter. “Our devices and their apps are designed to fragment our attention, whether it is taking us out of our real-life experience and getting us to focus our attention even momentarily on the phone itself or it's what we do within apps where we are looking at different pieces of content in a particular feed,” Price told “Post Reports” co-host Elahe Izadi. After realizing how detrimental her phone was to her life, she wrote “How to Break Up With Your Phone: The 30-Day Plan to Take Back Your Life.” The book details the negative impact our phones can have on our attention and mental health and provides advice for how to create a healthier relationship with them.“It really has made me feel more alive,” Price said. “It encouraged me to ask questions that have resulted in me tapping into this broader community of people I never would have met and discovering this joy.”Today's show was produced by Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Lucy Perkins and Maggie Penman and mixed by Sam Bair. You can find more writing by Price at her Substack here. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Jon and Max talk through the internet's embrace of a suspected murderer, and whether the edgelords really believe what they're posting. But first! The DC Circuit Court of Appeals rejected TikTok's attempt to overturn an impending ban, which is scheduled to take effect next month—unless Trump or SCOTUS intervene. Plus, Max rants about the American Society of Anesthesiologists and Jon talks about what drove him to write an article for The Atlantic.

On this episode of Gastropod, author Catherine Price helps us tell the story of vitamins, from Indonesian chickens to Gwyneth Paltrow. (encore) Learn more about your ad choices.
