Is your teen insisting “it's not a problem” even though you've seen air fresheners, eye drops, or sudden “new friends”…and you suspect vaping?In this episode, Tess and Gigi walk through what actually works when you think your teen is vaping marijuana or nicotine—starting with how you respond. You'll see why reacting in anger usually shuts the conversation down, why so many teens try it out of curiosity or stress (not because they're “bad”), and how to turn this into an ongoing, honest dialogue instead of a one-time blowup.You'll learn a calm, step-by-step way to go from “I just found out” to a productive talk your teen will actually stay in.You'll get language to set clear family values, rules, and consequences around substance use—without shaming.You'll know what to look for underneath the vaping (anxiety, friend group shifts, boredom, fitting in) and where to get extra help if it's becoming a pattern. Hit play to hear the exact phrases, boundaries, and follow-up steps Tess uses with parents so you can handle vaping in a way that protects your relationship and your teen's health.⭐Got screen time problems at home, get the Tech Reset Agreement here

Screen Time for Young Children: A Parent's Search for Answers and Options In this day and age of smartphones, electronic billboards, TVs, and the seemingly impossible-to-avoid screen, it's easy to lose connection to what matters most, our community as human beings. We crave connection, and by mindlessly scrolling or putting on a video to appease ourselves or a child, we inherently rob ourselves and our charges of a chance to truly connect, oftentimes causing irrevocable damage to the brain. We know screens are here to stay, so the question becomes how we can shift how we use them to encourage in-person interaction and relationship-building. In addition to researching how to undo the damage to young people's brains, thanks to the addictive nature of shows and games, we need to research how to reduce the harm in the first place. In this episode Sarah Elkins and Will Maurer discuss the how research on screentime for infants has been limited because of the blanket prohibition and shame related to it, and why it's critical to continue this research. (Hint: Infants will be exposed to screentime by parents, older siblings, and others, so let's figure out how to reduce harm and maybe even find value in it!) Highlights Screen time and how it affects infants & children's brains. Taking steps to create a personalized plan for your child or yourself regarding screen time. Doing the research that needs to be done, especially in necessary but difficult paths. What exactly is it that makes certain shows addictive and damaging? What are the consequences of ignoring the obvious - that infants are being exposed to screen time despite the general prohibition?  Quotes "Are they absorbing anything? Is a parent able to co-view and add to that experience?" "As a society we put a lot of money into addressing issues after the fact."  Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What will you take away from this conversation? If you don't have young children at home, what can you do that's a little bit different to connect with the young children you see around you? One of the things I say in my TED Talk is, we can connect with people around us through story easily and with total strangers, and one of the examples I gave is when you sit next to a family at a restaurant and you watch a child playing a familiar game or watching a familiar show and you share a brief story how your kid liked that too. This is your chance, find ways to connect to the people around you, through story. And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned in this episode Dimitri Christakis TEDX Do Policy Statements on Media Effects Faithfully Represent the Science?   About Will As a TEDx speaker and leading voice in children's media reform, Will Maurer is pioneering evidence-based guidelines and solutions that bridge scientific research with real-world execution. His work challenges industry norms, prioritizes early childhood learning, and champions equitable, enriching content for the next generation. Through advocacy, research, and leadership, he is reshaping the future of children's media - driving systemic change and setting new standards for quality, impact, and accessibility on a global scale.

As well as his LinkTree!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

Why does it feel like screens are stealing our kids' imagination, our attention spans, and even our peace at home? Why are so many families exhausted, disconnected, and overwhelmed by technology—even though we know it's supposed to make life easier? If you've ever wondered how to break the cycle of device dependence without guilt, shame, or overwhelm, this episode is for you.Today's guest, S. S. Coulter—or Shannon—is leading a screen-lite movement that's changing how families reconnect with real life. Through Planet Fassa, she empowers kids to rediscover creativity, curiosity, and childhood joy through books, fun activities, and simple daily habits. She also equips adults to Break the Chain of tech overload, helping them model the confidence, presence, and creativity we want the next generation to inherit. Her work comes to life in this conversation, where she shares practical solutions, real-world stories, and the neuroscience behind why screens are so addictive—as heard throughout the episodeGet ready for an honest, hopeful, and deeply important conversation about reclaiming connection, rebuilding imagination, and taking back our families from the constant pull of screens.Quotes:"I'm trying to get people to make their phones their servants versus their masters.""Our best memories are when we're with people—you don't make your favorite memories staring at a screen.""It's not our fault that we're addicted to screens—they're made to addict us."Actionable Takeaways:Set daily screen-free times for both parents and children; be intentional in modeling the behavior you want to see in your family.Swap some habitual screen time with offline activities—choose simple, low-material tasks to spark imagination and creativity.Reconfigure your device settings (use black-and-white or red-light filters, enable "bedtime mode," or create physical distance from devices) to make phone usage less addictive.Reflect and discuss as a family: “What are our favorite memories, and how many of those happened on a screen?”Connect with your community or peer group to share successful screen-free activity ideas and support each other in building new habits.Conclusion:S. S. Coulter reminds us that reclaiming our families from screen overload isn't about perfection—it's about intention. When we understand why technology hooks us and how it shapes our kids' developing brains, we can finally take back control with confidence, compassion, and simple daily choices. Shannon's mission proves that imagination can be rebuilt, connection can be restored, and joy can return to our homes one small habit at a time. Her message is a powerful call to lead by example, create healthier rhythms, and give our children the childhood—and future—they truly deserve.

When your child seems peacefully absorbed in a screen, their brain is doing far more than relaxing. This episode breaks down how screen time actively shapes a child's mood, attention, and long-term brain development in ways most parents never see. In this conversation, you will learn: Why a child's brain reacts so intensely to fast paced digital stimulation How instant rewards from screens shape emotional reactions, especially meltdowns when screen time ends The surprising reason quiet, slow tasks feel uncomfortable for many kids after using screens How passive viewing and interactive engagement affect learning very differently Why attention becomes tuned to rapid changes and how that impacts focus in real life environments What sudden emotional swings after screen time reveal about the developing nervous system How one small shift in a family's nighttime routine led to calmer sleep and easier mornings What a healthy balance between digital experiences and real world experiences actually looks like Why the goal is not removing technology but guiding how the brain interacts with it   This episode is a practical guide for parents who want clarity instead of confusion. You will walk away with a deeper understanding of how digital habits shape developing minds and what simple adjustments can support stronger emotional regulation, better focus, and more balanced days.

Congress Cashes In While You Struggle | Karel Cast 25-147 The new bill reopening the U.S. government is a massive payday for Congress—not for you. Buried deep in the legislation are perks for lawmakers, including a retroactive $500,000 payout for any member whose phone records were seized during the January 6th investigations. Billions more are being funneled into office upgrades, security, and staff expansions. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court keeps siding with Trump's cruelty—letting people go hungry and putting healthcare back in the hands of rich White men who play God with your life. Karel also opens up about his own skin cancer removal, using it to spotlight the major advances in cancer treatment and testing—and the question that matters most: Will these medical breakthroughs only help the rich? And Disney's Toy Story 5 sends a quiet message: screens are destroying kids. But maybe—just maybe—this is evolution. As technology becomes universal, should kids actually be learning to thrive in a screen-based world?
