Summary of the Interview On Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Brian Custer—Emmy Award–winning sportscaster, ESPN anchor, play-by-play commentator, cancer survivor, fashion enthusiast, and HBCU graduate of Hampton University. The discussion moves through Custer’s early life in Columbus, Ohio; the influence of Black media figures on his career; his journey from a childhood dreamer sitting beside his grandmother watching Walter Cronkite to becoming a nationally recognized sports broadcaster; and his path into fraternity life as a member of Kappa Alpha Psi. Custer describes how he discovered broadcasting at an early age, secured internships in high school, and worked grueling night shifts in radio before transitioning into television. But the most powerful portion of the interview is his emotional recounting of his battle with aggressive prostate cancer at age 42—a diagnosis he initially wanted to hide. He shares the moment his doctor insisted he use his platform to educate men of color about prostate cancer, a mission he now treats as a calling.

Representation matters Seeing Irv Cross, James Brown, and Carol Simpson on television affirmed his ambition and provided powerful role models. 3. Hard work—not shortcuts—built his career Custer’s first job was midnight–8 a.m. radio, reading hourly newscasts.He later interned and volunteered long after programs ended to gain experience. 4. Prostate cancer is a silent but deadly threat His routine physical revealed a suspicious PSA level (5.4), leading to a biopsy and an aggressive cancer diagnosis.He initially refused repeat screenings due to stigma but credits his doctor’s persistence with saving his life. 5.

Some daughters grow up believing their story must be exaggerated, misunderstood, or somehow “too much” to be real.Not because it wasn't devastating. But because there was no safe adult to quietly confirm, This isn't okay.When harm is reinforced instead of interrupted, the nervous system doesn't just adapt. It doubts itself.This week's episode is for the daughters who didn't have a buffer. The ones who survived systems, not just people.

What if spiritual growth isn't about belief, manifestation, or bypassing reality — but about understanding how reality actually works? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Sarah Elkhaldy, mystic, teacher, and host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia, for a clear, rigorous conversation about free will, karma, destiny, and spiritual evolution. Sarah explains how ancient mystery teachings were designed to initiate real changes in consciousness, not to comfort or inspire. Together, they explore how free will operates between fate and karma, what sovereignty truly requires, and why responsibility is central to spiritual growth. This conversation bridges mysticism and natural law, offering a grounded framework for understanding evolution beyond spiritual aesthetics. They also discuss the concept of homo luminous, the next stage of human evolution, and why presence in the simplest moments can become a profound initiation when awareness is fully engaged. Throughout the episode, Emily and Sarah examine discernment, embodiment, and why not all spiritual paths lead to the same outcomes. This episode is for anyone who feels called to move beyond inspiration and into a deeper understanding of how consciousness evolves through choice, presence, and responsibility. Key Moments 00:00:00 — Free will, fate, and karma explained through natural law 00:03:40 — What mystery teachings were actually designed to do 00:07:14 — Free will as the space between destiny and karma 00:12:50 — Childhood mysticism, imagination, and early initiation 00:16:04 — Presence as spiritual practice (the tea teaching) 00:19:22 — Human evolution and the concept of homo luminous 00:24:58 — Why not all spiritual paths lead to the same outcome 00:31:10 — Discernment, responsibility, and conscious initiation 00:38:40 — What sovereignty actually requires in daily life 00:46:15 — Integrating mystery teachings in the modern world 00:54:30 — Embodiment, service, and living the teachings 01:01:40 — Closing reflections on evolution, choice, and awareness Where This Work Continues If this conversation resonated, especially around sovereignty, discernment, and embodied awareness, this is the kind of inquiry explored inside Ziva Level 3. Level 3 is an advanced mastermind focused on integration, responsibility, and living these teachings in real life, with immersive experiences and pilgrimage work in Greece.
Today on Anchored By the Podcast, I'm joined by Mary Bowden—dance educator, advocate, and the Executive Director and Founder of Dance Awareness: No Child Exploited.Mary is also the founder of Soul to Sole Choreography and the author of Dance is Prayer in Motion, and this conversation is one every parent, caregiver, aunt, uncle, grandparent, and educator needs to hear.We talk honestly about the growing trend of hyper sexualized children's dance—why it's not just a “dance issue,” but a mental health and public health issue. Mary explains how exposing children to adult sexuality before their brains and psychology are developmentally ready causes real trauma, confusion, and long-term harm.As someone who danced as a child, I deeply resonated with Mary's heart for healthy, age-appropriate movement—dance that integrates mind, body, and spirit and allows children to remain children.In this episode, we discuss:The difference between healthy dance vs. harmful danceHow culture, media, and competition have normalized inappropriate movement for kidsWhy adults must reclaim their role as the protective factor for childrenThe connection between hyper sexualization and pornography culturePractical steps caregivers can take right now to protect and advocate for childrenFree tools, resources, and action steps available through Dance AwarenessMary also shares the powerful moment that confirmed why this work matters—hearing from a young woman who didn't realize the harm she experienced as a child until adulthood, and how it impacted her mental health and sense of self.This episode is about awareness—but also hope. There are healthy dance studios. There are better options. And there are ways we can speak up respectfully, educate others, and protect the innocence and dignity of children.Bio:Dance educator and author Mary Bawden received a BA in modern dance from the University of California Riverside, a MA in worship (emphasis in dance) from Hope International University in Fullerton CA, and a California secondary teaching credential. Mary began choreographing dance within church services in 1994. In 2003, she founded Soul to Sole Choreography and released a book, Dance is Prayer in Motion, in 2016. Several years ago, Mary began to notice the culture around children's dance moving toward an unhealthy trend: sexualizing children in adult-style costumes, sexually provocative choreography, and music with sexual content and/or themes. Many in the public arena have been slow to recognize this harmful form of child exploitation. In 2016, she founded DA:NCE (Dance Awareness: No Child Exploited), a non-partisan organization, to create awareness through the collaboration of credible experts with excellent research to provide free evidence-based educational materials for dance educators, parents, and concerned adults, inside and outside the dance studio.She has spoken at numerous conferences from NDEO (National Dance Educator's Organization) to CESE(Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation) Summits in Washington DC. Mary has also been interviewed and written for a wide range of TV, podcast, and radio hosts. In 2019 one article she wrote received over 250,000 views (Read Article). Her organization offers many resources that have researched the damaging consequences of hyper-sexualizing children in dance.Anchor Verses:Romans 12:21Ephesians 5:11Connect with Mary:Website: https://www.soultosolechoreography.orgDA:NCE Awareness: https://www.danceawareness.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/dance_awareness/***We love hearing from you!

“It's how you were parented that lays the foundation – it sets the blueprint for your own parenting.” This is a short moment from a much bigger conversation on Motherkind. But it tends to stop people in their tracks. In this clip, Harriet and Zoe talk about something so many of us don't fully look at until we become parents ourselves – the relationship we had with our own parents, and how that quietly shapes the way we show up with our children. Harriet shares what it can be like to grow up in an enmeshed relationship, where you're very close, but boundaries are blurred, where you might have been the best friend, the emotional support, the one who grew up a little too quickly. And how becoming a mum can suddenly shine a light on things you once told yourself were “fine”. She shares a question she now asks her clients – and it's a powerful one: Would you want your child to have the childhood you had? This clip gently explores some of the early signs that something might feel off – struggling to say no, feeling guilty for wanting things differently, having your boundaries minimised or dismissed. And how confusing that can be, especially when you rely on your parent for support or childcare. If this resonates, please know you're not alone. And you're not ungrateful. And you're not making it up. This is just one small part of a much bigger, compassionate conversation about awareness, autonomy, and breaking cycles – without blame, and with a lot of kindness.

Today, Luis runs a successful nonprofit and tattoo shop, using his past to help others avoid the same mistakes and prove that even a life sentence doesn't have to be the end of the story. _____________________________________________ #PrisonSurvival #KansasPrison #PrisonLife #TrueCrime #LifeInPrison #PrisonStories #SurvivingPrison #incarceration _____________________________________________ Thank you to WARBY PARKER for sponsoring this episode: Our listeners get 15% off plus free shipping when they buy two or more pairs of prescription glasses at https://warbyparker.com/LOCKEDIN — using our link helps support the show. #WarbyParker #ad _____________________________________________ Connect with Luis Gutierrez: http://www.redemptionanimalrescueks.com _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 First Days in Prison & Early Survival 01:11 Life After Prison: Redemption Inc, Second Chances & Animal Rescue 04:46 Childhood, Family, and the Roots of Trauma 09:30 Moving States, Gangs, and Juvenile Arrests 13:30 The Turning Point: Tragedy, Charges, and Sentencing 20:11 First Time in Prison: Violence, Fear, and Reality Setting In 28:42 Prison Politics, Gang Life, and How to Stay Alive 39:39 Solitary Confinement, Prison Mentors, and Learning to Adapt 48:47 Life in Segregation: Art, Mental Survival, and Trauma 59:39 Drugs in Prison, Relationships, and a Shift in Mindset 01:12:10 Prison Dog Programs, Redemption, and Meeting Melissa 01:23:53 Preparing for Freedom, Relapse Risks, and Setbacks 01:29:06 Facing the Parole Board and Fighting for a Second Chance 01:39:01 Life After Prison: Community Work, Business, and Giving Back 01:47:02 Family, Marriage, and Rebuilding Trust After Prison 01:51:01 Advice for At-Risk Youth and the Power of Redemption Learn more about your ad choices.

Tim Shurr is a world-renowned Peak Performance Mind Architect for millionaires, business owners, and high-achieving professionals. Tim quickly releases people from mental blocks while rapidly accelerating what he calls 'Peaceful Success' using subconscious reprogramming strategies developed over 36 years of research. His One Belief Away method is changing the game when it comes to freeing people from anxiety and attaining goals faster. He says you are just one belief away from your next big breakthrough. In this episode, Tim explains how childhood-formed limiting beliefs drive habits, emotions, and self-sabotage, and outlines a streamlined process: trace uncomfortable feelings to their root, provide missing inner resources, upgrade the core belief, and release trapped emotions like shame or anger. Using a client example of overcoming perfectionism, they discuss separating self-worth from achievements or body image, fostering self-compassion, and viewing life's challenges as game-like opportunities—where upgrading just one belief unlocks the next breakthrough.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Creative, Caitlin goes full “spicy brains, unpacking all the shame” and dives into why childhood development has its own pace, and why trying to rush it creates more stress for everyone.Using Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages (Trust vs. Mistrust + Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt), Caitlin connects toddler “purple cup chaos,” risky play, and messy learning to the adult realities of people-pleasing, shame spirals, and inner child repair.We also get a Caitlin-style tour through special interests (biology, evolution, brains), a candid story about changing majors, and a big, tender reminder: kids learn through experience—and so do we.

In this solo episode, Darin dives into one of the most universal modern experiences: the feeling that time is accelerating. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and lived experience, he breaks down why time doesn't actually speed up, but our experience of it radically changes. From the impact of digital distraction and divided attention to the way novelty, memory, aging, and even COVID reshaped our internal sense of time, this episode offers both clarity and agency. Darin shows how reclaiming attention, breaking monotony, and creating richer experiences can give us the feeling of having our time back. What You'll Learn Why time measured by a clock is different from time experienced by the brain How attention, memory, and emotion construct subjective time Why boredom feels slow while flow states feel fast How novelty creates richer memories and longer-feeling lives The role of routine and monotony in time compression How digital technology fragments attention and erases memory Why social media scrolling makes time disappear without satisfaction How COVID disrupted temporal landmarks and distorted time perception Why time feels faster as we age The neuroscience behind memory density and perceived duration Whether time itself is an illusion or a constructed experience Practical ways to slow down your experience of time How breaking routine restores a sense of fullness and presence Why life is measured in experiences, not seconds Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the exploration of time 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and frequency-based healing 00:02:16 – Why time feels like it's speeding up 00:03:07 – Measured time vs experienced time 00:03:39 – Subjective time and how the brain constructs duration 00:04:38 – Boredom, flow, and why time feels slow or fast 00:05:20 – Memory density and time compression 00:05:42 – Clock models vs attention and memory models 00:06:13 – Novelty, travel, and rich experiences 00:06:34 – Routine, repetition, and unremarkable days 00:07:21 – Divided attention and disappearing moments 00:07:56 – The digital shift and fragmented attention post-2000 00:08:30 – Micro-stimulation and wasted time 00:09:12 – Why scrolling doesn't equal flow 00:09:46 – Social acceleration and modern life 00:10:25 – COVID as a global experiment in time perception 00:10:55 – Loss of temporal landmarks during lockdown 00:11:57 – Sponsor: Caldera Lab and clean skincare 00:13:39 – Research on monotony and time compression 00:14:40 – Aging, fewer neural events, and faster time 00:15:30 – Childhood vs adulthood time perception 00:16:22 – Is time real or constructed? 00:16:57 – Physics, relativity, and subjective experience 00:17:56 – How to slow down your experience of time 00:18:12 – Novelty, adventure, and memory creation 00:19:00 – Sustained attention vs multitasking 00:19:37 – Breaking monotony in daily life 00:20:06 – Reducing digital distraction 00:20:25 – Enjoying life as a scientific practice 00:20:49 – Time as memory, not seconds 00:21:08 – Gaining agency over your experience of life 00:21:29 – Creating a richer year through experience 00:22:10 – Curiosity, adventure, and Darin's fascination with time 00:23:27 – Closing thoughts and call to action Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Caldera Lab: Experience the clinically proven benefits of Caldera Lab's clean skincare regimen and enjoy 20% off your order by visiting calderalab.com/darin and using code DARIN at checkout.

What if the way you learned to love, connect, and succeed wasn't actually you, but survival strategies you picked up as a kid?In this episode of Unleash Your Inner Creative, I sit down with Beá Victoria Albina, somatic experiencing practitioner and author of Emotional Outsourcing, to explore how people pleasing, perfectionism, and emotional over-responsibility quietly block creativity, self-trust, and authentic expression.We talk about what emotional outsourcing really is, how it develops in childhood, and how it shows up in our relationships, work, decision-making, and creative lives. We also explore how healing your nervous system and attachment wounds can help you reconnect with your voice and come home to yourself.This conversation is especially vulnerable for me. Bea even guides me through a live somatic practice to help release shame, and as you listen, I hope you can do the same. In this episode, you'll learn:-What emotional outsourcing is and why it develops-How people pleasing and perfectionism disconnect you from creativity-Why shame keeps you stuck and how to work with it-Somatic tools to rebuild self-trust and self-expressionIf you've ever abandoned yourself in order to be “good,” “enough,” or lovable, this episode will help you return to a more empowered, creative version of yourself.
Jason Whitlock is fearless in offering no proof that former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin resigned over problems in his marriage. Whitlock, and his Christian worldview, dances around accusations of infidelity, speaking vaguely about Tomlin ending his 19-year tenure as being 'bizarre' and that the lack of a press conference raises 'serious red flags.' With reckless saints like Whitlock, who needs to worry about sinners and enemies?
Sometimes life imitates art - or at least the two can seem eerily connected. On Jan. 1, the Venezuelan band Rawayana released a new album, '¿Dónde Es El After?,' which began with a lyric that many interpreted as a wish for their country's leadership to be gone. A few days later, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was ousted from power and seized by American forces.

Ron Blue is a pioneering Christian financial planner, longtime CPA, and founder of the firms and ministries that helped shape today's faith-based financial movement. After growing up in Indiana, studying at Indiana University, and working for KPMG in New York, Dallas, and San Francisco, Ron returned home to start his own CPA firm in 1970. That firm would grow into one of the top 50 accounting firms in the country, and later, Ron would go on to launch a fee-based financial planning firm for Christians, work closely with Campus Crusade (Cru), and help birth Kingdom Advisors and related initiatives that now influence thousands of advisors and families around the world. In this episode of The Wow Factor, Brad sits down with Ron to trace how a rigid religious upbringing, an intense drive for success, and a quiet conversion moment on the way to a golf game all led to a radical decision to walk away from a thriving CPA practice and follow God's call to Atlanta. Ron shares how that step of faith, a series of "turning points" he only recognized in hindsight, and a growing conviction that there's no such thing as an independent financial decision laid the groundwork for Christian financial planning, national-level generosity, and ultimately the founding of Kingdom Advisors. "Everything turned when I realized it all hinged on the resurrection. If the resurrection happened, Christianity is true and I had to respond to that." - Ron Blue "There's no such thing as an independent financial decision. Every choice you make with money touches your family, your future, and your ability to give." - Ron Blue "I really believe the church is the next frontier for biblical financial wisdom. We're just now seeing how all these years of proof-of-concept were preparation for serving the local church." - Ron Blue This Week on The Wow Factor: • Ron's Indiana roots, early success track, and what drew him to the "big time" at KPMG in New York • Leaving a secure global firm to start a CPA practice in Indianapolis and realizing most work was really counseling around money and taxes • Childhood legalism, the soapbox derby story, and how early church experiences shaped his reaction against faith • Ron's journey from "success first" to wrestling with the resurrection and praying to receive Christ alone in his car • Moving to Atlanta after a clear call from Philippians 3 and a literal "For Sale by Owner" sign in the attic • How a time-based CPA model became the blueprint for a fee-for-advice Christian financial planning firm • The "first million-dollar giver" and the early financial plan that proved generosity could increase cash flow • Being let go by the board of the firm that bore his name—and why that painful moment was a turning point • Practical stories of cash-in-hand generosity to families, single moms, and unseen workers • Ron's vision for serving local churches through trained Kingdom Advisors and holistic financial discipleship Ron Blue's Word of Wisdom: Ron believes the local church is the next major frontier for biblical financial discipleship. After decades of proving that faith-based financial principles work, he sees churches uniquely positioned to help people understand stewardship, generosity, and calling at every life stage.

We talk about what schizophrenia really is (and isn't), the impact of stigma on individuals and families, and the importance of person-centered, empathetic care. Dr. Hicks shares her personal journey—raising a daughter with serious mental illness while navigating barriers in the healthcare system—and offers guidance for both providers and caregivers who want to better support those living with schizophrenia.

Chase Chrisley opens up to Ian Bick about his upbringing, growing up on reality television, and how fame at a young age shaped his life and decisions. He talks about leaving college, the pressures of being in the public eye, and how his struggles with drinking escalated as his family faced intense legal battles. Chase shares what it was like watching his parents' arrest, trial, and eventual prison sentence, and how visiting them behind bars took a heavy emotional toll that pushed his drinking even further. He also reflects on the moment everything changed — from his parents being pardoned to finally confronting his addiction, getting sober, and rebuilding his life with clarity and purpose. _____________________________________________ #ChaseChrisley #ChrisleyKnowsBest #RealityTV #CelebrityInterview #LifeAfterFame #AddictionRecovery #SobrietyJourney #truestory _____________________________________________ Thank you to GOLD DROP SELTZERS for sponsoring this episode: Head to https://www.thedryoak.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout for 10% off your order. _____________________________________________ Connect with Chase Chrisley: https://www.instagram.com/chasechrisley/?hl=en _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________` Timestamps: 00:00 Drinking, Family Pressure & Life in the Spotlight 01:00 Chase Chrisley's Childhood & Growing Up on Reality TV 05:00 Fame at a Young Age: Friends, School & Social Life 10:00 Early Partying, Alcohol & Family Dynamics 15:00 College Years & Early Signs of Trouble 20:00 Living Through the Indictment, Trial & Legal Battles 25:00 Conviction, Sentencing & Impact on the Family 31:00 Alcohol Abuse After Sentencing & Emotional Fallout 35:00 Rock Bottom, Addiction & the Decision to Get Sober 40:00 Visiting Parents in Prison & Public Scrutiny 46:00 Presidential Pardon & A Family's Second Chance 50:00 Rehab, Recovery & Rebuilding Life 55:00 Life After Sobriety: Lessons, Growth & Moving Forward Learn more about your ad choices.

Education On Fire - Sharing creative and inspiring learning in our schools
In this first episode of a special 10-part series named Ger Graus Gets Gritty, Mark Taylor sits down with Professor Dr. Ger Graus OBE to launch an honest conversation about education and schooling.Following the release of Ger's book "Through a Different Lens: Lessons from a Life in Education" this series uses each chapter as a springboard for examining what's working—and what isn't—in our education systems.In this episode Ger shares his personal journey from a difficult childhood in the Netherlands to becoming a passionate advocate for experience-based learning. He reflects on how one transformative teacher changed his trajectory, the crucial differences between primary and secondary education, and why putting children at the centre of learning must be more than just rhetoric.This episode tackles the benefit of hindsight, the importance of storytelling in education, and why courage is needed to swim against the current of compliance-driven schooling.Key Quotes"If you're a teacher, just realize that 50 years from now someone will say your name... That's your responsibility, whether to say good things or bad things, nice things or not so nice things. That's in your gift and that's in your hands.""The minute you touch on an abstract in your lesson, the next thing that should happen is, comma, for example, the two most important words in that lesson. Because what that means is that you exemplify, you tell a story effectively, you take these children in mind and heart, you take them on a short journey.""What we have become is accountable to the system and not accountable to the child.""I think we need to make education and schooling and the connection between the two much more of a societal dialogue.""Children can only aspire to what they know exists."Takeaways:The podcast marks a significant milestone, celebrating ten years and 500 episodes, highlighting the journey of Education on Fire.Professor Dr. Ger Graus OBE's engagement signifies a collaborative effort to address pressing educational issues through meaningful dialogue.The series titled 'Ger Graus Gets Gritty' aims to promote positive change in education, focusing on the welfare of children and supportive learning environments.Listeners are encouraged to participate in the conversation and share stories that advocate for the well-being of children in educational settings.The podcast emphasizes the importance of community involvement in education, asserting that collective action is essential for fostering supportive learning experiences.The discussion raises critical questions about the current educational system, advocating for reforms that prioritize children's needs over economic or political agendas.Chapters:00:08 - Celebrating Milestones in Education01:09 - The Importance of Community in Education23:31 - The Importance of Storytelling in Education33:03 - Reflections on Childhood and Education
Actor and musician siblings Nat Wolff (Paper Towns, The Fault in Our Stars) and Alex Wolff (Hereditary, Old) have been living and breathing music nearly their entire lives. As kids, they wrote and performed their own songs on their hit Nickelodeon show The Naked Brothers Band before eventually forming their aptly named pop rock duo Nat & Alex Wolff. Now, the brothers are back with their third studio album. Nat and Alex join guest host Talia Schlanger to talk about their unusual childhoods and experiences with early fame, how they've evolved as collaborators while keeping a strong brotherly bond, and why now was the right time to start writing music again.

With the Children's Wellbeing and Schools bill returning to the House of Commons imminently, it's a key time to make your feelings known. Email your MP https://www.smartphonefreechildhood.org/email. Today's episode is about a topic that I am truly passionate about - the introduction of social media and smartphones into all aspects of our lives - and what impact this is having on us individually, collectively and, perhaps most urgently, what impact is this having on our children. Jonathan Haidt is arguably one of the worlds' most eminent psychologists. He is a Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University's Stern School of Business and the author of 4 best-selling books, including his latest ‘The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness'. In this episode, Jonathan and I explore how the fundamental differences between online and real-world interactions are affecting young people's social, emotional and cognitive development. We discuss why girls face unique risks on social media, from damaged relationships and reputations to harassment, and how gaming and pornography are shaping boys' expectations of relationships. Jonathan also shares some eye-opening data about the link between a decline in teen mental health and the widespread adoption of smartphones and social media. He emphasises the need for collective action to create healthier norms around technology use, both at home and in schools. We dive into practical strategies for parents, including setting clear boundaries and prioritising hobbies and family time. Our conversation also touches on the challenges of navigating technology use in a world where the pace of change has been so fast. Jonathan remains optimistic that we're nearing a tipping point and outlines four key norms we can all adopt with our children—even if they're already dependent on their phones throughout the day. We also discuss in detail what we believe schools could be doing to help their students have less screen time and the importance of collaborating with other families to support healthier habits. As a parent and a doctor, I'm deeply concerned about the mental health crisis facing our children and young people. But if, as a society, we can come together to raise awareness and take purposeful action, we can create a healthier future for the next generation. I think this is one of the most important conversations that I have ever had on my podcast. Jonathan and I both believe that the rewiring of our children's brains to be one of the most urgent societal harms that needs addressing. My hope is that you find this conversation eye opening, enlightening and thought provoking - and I very much hope it prompts you to take action. Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
