Hey, Heal Squad! This week, we are joined by the brilliant Dr. Harold Koplewicz, President of the Child Mind Institute, to talk about what's really going on with youth mental health. He is not only one of the most trusted voices in youth mental health, but he is here to tell us exactly what you can do to help. From rising suicide rates to anxiety at age 10, Dr. Koplewicz helps us understand why so many kids are struggling, and the red flags every pediatrician and parent needs to look out for.  He breaks down the effects of screen time on dopamine and brain development, the emotional toll of comparison culture, and the exact age ranges when kids are most vulnerable. PLUS, they get into what pediatricians are missing and how to spot early red flags in toddlers all the way through teens. And the best part? He shares simple (but life-changing) tools to help your kids build emotional fitness, starting now. You're going to want this in your parenting toolkit. Tune in!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Kids need emotional fitness as much as physical fitness. Just like sit-ups build strength, tools like breathwork, body awareness, and emotion naming build mental resilience—and need to be taught young. Screens are disrupting dopamine and brain development. Constant stimulation from devices hijacks attention, wrecks sleep, and increases anxiety—especially for kids with pre-existing mental health challenges. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death in kids and teens. Most parents don't realize that adolescence is the most vulnerable window for impulsive decisions, and untreated emotional pain can quickly escalate into crisis. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Waitlist: https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Dr. Harold Koplewicz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drharoldkoplewicz/?hl=en  Child Mind Institute Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/childmindinstitute/  Website: https://childmind.org/  Journaling App: https://childmind.org/blog/keeping-teens-safe-in-the-mirror-journaling-app/  Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-20335413  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Dr Justin Coulson's Happy Families

A video of Justin... that Justin never made. This was the shocking moment that shook the families on Parental Guidance—a deepfake designed to highlight how real, how convincing, and how dangerous AI can be for our kids. In today’s recap, we dive into the confronting realities of deepfakes, online safety, and skyrocketing screen time. From fake videos to 65-hour screen weeks, how do we protect our kids in this hyperconnected world? KEY POINTS: Deepfakes are real, fast, and easy. It took producers just 20 minutes to create a convincing fake video of Justin. This raises serious concerns about privacy, consent, and exploitation—especially for teens. The gendered impact is severe. 98% of deepfake porn targets women and girls, with devastating emotional and psychological consequences. The 'be careful what you post' advice is outdated. Even innocent images like yearbook photos can be misused. The real focus needs to be on teaching empathy, respect, and legal consequences. Screen time shock. One family clocked 21 devices for 6 people. A parent averaged 65 hours a week—over 9 hours a day—and her son hit 16 hours in a single day. The real cost of screen time. Excessive screens impact brain development, sleep, social skills, physical health, and relationships. Digital connections aren't enough. Kids need real-life, face-to-face interaction for emotional and neurological growth—nine times more brain activation happens in person than on Zoom. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "When we spend time in front of a screen—especially when it's excessive—we do not grow our brain. In fact, the research suggests there’s less grey matter. That is a massive problem." – Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Parenting Revolution by Dr Justin Coulson TV Show: Parental Guidance Season 3 – available on 9Now Website: happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Talk about it. Have open, honest conversations with your kids about AI, deepfakes, and consent. Teach empathy. Reinforce that using someone's image without consent is a violation of their humanity—and often a crime. Audit your screens. Count your family’s devices and track your own usage. Awareness is step one. Prioritise real-world connection. Schedule offline time daily. Prioritise nature, play, face-to-face conversations, and physical activity. Set boundaries. Create clear family rules about screen time, nighttime device use, and online safety. Model the behaviour. Kids notice if we say one thing but do another. Manage your own screen habits. Stay informed. Keep up with emerging tech risks and solutions. Read, listen, learn, and adjust. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when a culture forgets its roots? Are we raising kids who understand sacrifice, freedom, and the values that built a nation? Or are we letting those truths slip away with every swipe and scroll?In this powerful and passionate episode, Jill Simonian, Director of Outreach for PragerU Kids, joins Matt Beaudreau to tackle some of the most urgent challenges in education, parenting, and American identity. With a background in broadcasting and a heart for kids, Jill brings a unique fire to her mission: reviving tradition, truth, and patriotism through family-centered education.Jill isn't just building content—she's building a movement. From launching an interactive Founders Museum at the White House to crafting the Independence Day Ceremony book that blends history with heartfelt ritual, she's redefining how families connect to America's legacy.But it's not just about the stars and stripes. Jill gets raw about raising teenagers in a hyper-digital world, shares her household's bold boundaries on tech, and unpacks why standards—like school uniforms and reading comprehension—aren't “old-fashioned,” they're essential.Quotes:"A nation without memory is a nation at risk. If we don't teach our children what was sacrificed, what the Declaration of Independence actually meant, then how are they going to know how important it is to preserve it and honor it?" - Jill Simonian"Time is our greatest resource. The United States flag is perhaps the most inclusive one in the world, because it represents every single ethnicity, every single heritage, every single sexual orientation." - Jill Simonian"If you stand for something, you're going to have somebody who opposes you." - Matt BeaudreauKey Takeaways:Tradition matters: Learn how the Independence Day Ceremony revives patriotism in the home with a powerful blend of symbolism and storytelling.Why standards save kids: From uniforms to screen time, discover how enforcing structure builds confidence and self-respect.Reading is a battleground: Jill explains why literacy—not tablets—is the real tool for future success.Screens vs. sanity: Hear her strategy for slowly introducing tech to teens without losing connection—or your mind.Pushback and purpose: Find out how Jill handles criticism about being “non-inclusive” with grace, strength, and an unshakable belief in unifying principles.Conclusion:As we close this episode, one thing is clear: Jill Simonian isn't just teaching history—she's helping families reconnect with what matters. In a divided world, she reminds us that tradition, standards, and love for country still hold us together.Whether you're a parent, educator, or mentor, this is your reminder: you don't have to do everything—but you do have to do something.

Devastation is the distraction, and the world is not being allowed to see. When will the focus shift back to Gaza? Resetting the camera angle for a convincing story. You are never locked out from learning more. Never say you are not good at politics. Gridlock excuses inaction. Leadership thrives when we feel helpless. The dirty details on the Iran debacle. Amplifying the need for clarity. The stage is on fire, and truth gets smoked out in distractions. The problem isn't chaos, it's multi-domain cleansing. Life is about planting the right seeds. The ultimate check play. This war, like others, has the same patterns and shields. The US is desperate to control China via naval assets. Energy supplies are key. By-product that are good for the Gulf. The new land based alternative. Iran is China's back up plan. Strategic disability for planners. Lip wristed pussies with no missile defense. The NATO member to watch is Turkey. They host US nukes. Russia's has real red lines. Chinese rail tech is a Trojan horse on tracks. And they watch everything. Trade flow leverage is real.

In the age of virtual communication, here's how to ensure your messages convey what you mean.Texts. Emails. Slacks. Zooms. We're communicating in more ways than ever, but Andrew Brodsky has a word of warning: Your virtual communication might be sending messages you're not aware of.Brodsky is the author of PING: The Secrets of Successful Virtual Communication. And as a professor of management at the University of Texas McCombs School of Business, he researches the impact of technology on workplace communication. “In virtual communication, there's often missing information,” he says. “As recipients of it, we're searching to fill in the gaps. The problem [is] that the recipient who's making these guesses is often guessing incorrectly.” As his research reveals, variables like typos, the time you schedule a meeting, and even your choice of email signature affect how your messages are received — and how you're perceived.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and Brodsky explore his PING framework (perspective-taking, initiative, nonverbal awareness, and goals) for mastering digital communication.

Is your teen glued to their screen this summer? Do you know the difference between typical teen behavior and true digital distress? In this powerful episode, Dr. Jennifer Zu Marga, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, joins Colleen O'Grady to talk about the growing issue of digital distress—the emotional strain and anxiety caused by excessive screen use. Together, they explore how screens are impacting teens' mental health, from sleep issues to depression and even self-harm. Dr. Zu Marga shares how her clinical work has evolved as digital habits have become a root cause of many emotional and behavioral issues in teens. The conversation dives deep into how the pandemic escalated screen dependency, how to spot signs of distress, and why setting boundaries around technology use is more critical than ever—especially during summer. Jennifer Zumarraga, MD is a specialist in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology at El Camino Health in California. She has over a decade of experience working with children and adolescents of all ages. Dr. Zumarraga began her career in research at the National Institute of Mental Health, focusing on youth with ADHD. She went on to complete her training at the University of Rochester and the University of Southern California. Three Key Takeaways: Excessive screen time affects the basics: Sleep, nutrition, mood, and social interaction often suffer when teens are glued to their devices. Look for changes like irritability, withdrawal, or academic decline. Limits are necessary—and hard: Teens often push back when you try to cut screen time. But consistency, clear boundaries, and calm conversations (held when everyone is regulated) can help establish healthier habits. Help teens reclaim their summer: Work with your teen to create a list of 30–50 non-digital activities, develop a daily structure, and encourage real-world social connections. This effort now can prevent more serious mental health issues later.

Things reached breaking point. And then… everything changed.This week on the Happy Families Podcast, Justin and Kylie share a raw and transformative parenting story from their own home—a story of tough love, compassion, and the unexpected joy that emerged when one of their children went screen-free. If you've ever wrestled with screen-time battles, wondered whether stepping in might do more harm than good, or felt at a loss watching your child withdraw behind a phone… this is the episode you need to hear. KEY POINTS: Not all kids respond to screens the same way—some are more deeply affected mentally, socially, and physically. Despite multiple conversations, one of Justin and Kylie’s children struggled to reduce screen use on her own. Justin made the tough call to temporarily remove the smartphone, despite knowing it would be met with resistance. The decision was supported with compassion, calm, and a consistent message of love and presence. Within days, they saw remarkable emotional and relational transformation. The child herself later initiated a conversation to renegotiate her phone use, ultimately choosing to remove social media apps and suggest her own boundaries. The family experienced a visible increase in connection, laughter, and joy—without screens. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:"With enough scaffolding, with enough support, with enough conversation around why sometimes we as parents are going to make decisions that the children may not agree with… the children are able to deal with and respond to these challenges in much more productive ways." – Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: “The Doctor’s Desk” podcast episode #1270 mentioned a study on improved wellbeing after removing smartphone internet access. Study from 'Nature' happyfamilies.com.au for more resources on parenting and screen time. Parental Guidance Season 3 starts Monday June 30 on Channel 9 — new episodes discussed throughout the week on the podcast. ✅ ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Trust your instincts – If screen use is affecting your child’s wellbeing, don't ignore the signs. Lead with compassion – Any intervention should be anchored in calm, empathy, and connection. Scaffold the change – Offer alternatives, create structure, and maintain open communication. Invite their input – When emotions settle, include your child in designing new tech boundaries. Watch for the joy – Pay attention to the surprising upside: more laughter, connection, and peace.

In this episode of Driving Change, neuroscientist and storytelling expert Dr. Angus Fletcher returns to share insights from his latest book, Primal Intelligence. Drawing from his research with the U.S. Army Special Operations, Fortune 50 companies, and education systems, Fletcher unpacks how the brain's ancient systems—emotion, imagination, intuition, and common sense—shape the way we think, lead, and connect. This isn't just theory; it's actionable neuroscience that rewires how we respond to stress, how we plan, and how we grow. Jeff and Angus explore everything from battlefield psychology to parenting to sales conversations, all through the lens of primal brain power. This episode will change how you view intelligence. If you've ever struggled with anxiety, leadership under pressure, communication breakdowns, or helping others grow, this conversation delivers practical tools rooted in science—not self-help fluff. Learn how elite military units build confidence, how to tap into your brain's imagination for clearer decision-making, and why the stories you tell yourself matter more than any strategy. Whether you're a parent, leader, coach, or entrepreneur, this episode offers real techniques to become more grounded, resilient, and effective in how you show up. Emotion is the First Intelligence – Fear and anger aren't enemies—they're signals telling us how many plans we have. Four Primal Brain Powers – Imagination (planning), Intuition (opportunity spotting), Emotion (threat signaling), and Common Sense (choosing the best plan). Plan-Making Beats Panic – People freeze not from danger, but from having no plan. Teaching people how to plan reduces fear and anger. Storytelling is Neural – The brain organizes information through action-based narratives. It's not once-upon-a-time—it's how we think. Teach Planning, Not Just Plans – The goal of leadership is to develop planners, not just manage plans. Practice Under Low Stress – Communication habits formed in calm moments will show up under pressure. Authenticity Over Evasion – People can't always detect truth, but they immediately sense evasiveness. Share what you fear. Counterfactual Thinking Builds Vision – Asking "what if" about small changes with big outcomes activates the brain's default mode network. Kids (and Adults) Need Imperfect Practice – Tolerating messy planning helps grow initiative, resilience, and brain power. Sales = Story Anticipation – Great salespeople help others discover their own story faster and with more clarity than they could alone. 00:00 – Welcome + Book Launch Tease 01:45 – Ohio's Hidden Intelligence + Emotional Evolution 10:00 – Primal Intelligence Framework 13:00 – Special Ops and the Power of Plans 19:00 – Childhood Programming and Brain Plasticity 24:30 – Imagination as Thinking Tool 29:30 – Youth, Screens & Neural Pathways 33:00 – Leadership, Weird Ideas & Innovation 38:45 – Storytelling as Internal Narrative 43:00 – Relationships & Communication Needs 46:00 – Communicating Under Pressure 50:00 – Neurocentric Questions & Sales 54:30 – Authenticity, Fear, and Trust 58:00 – What Led to Primal Intelligence 1:00:00 – How to Learn More (Book, Quiz, Site) Primal Intelligence book page (Penguin Random House) – Available August 19 Free Quiz & Diagnostic: OperationHuman.com Why You Should ListenTop 10 Takeaways⏱️ Chapter Markings (by topic)How to find more from Dr. FletcherDr. Angus Fletcher on LinkedIn: LinkedIn Profile

My guest is Michael Easter, a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and best-selling author. We discuss how particular daily life choices undermine our level of joy, our sense of purpose, our physical and our mental health and the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly steps we can all take to vastly increase our level of motivation, gratitude and overall life satisfaction. We discuss how effortful foraging for information, undistracted reflection and physical exercise are ways to ‘invest' and therefore grow our levels of dopamine, energy and motivation, whereas low-friction activities are specifically designed to hijack or diminish them. We also discuss dopamine reward circuitry in the context of how to build and reset one's energy levels and create a deeper sense of purpose in work, creative pursuits and relationships.

In this compelling episode of People-First Builders, host Fletcher Wimbush welcomes Mike Frick, president of Bear Ironworks, to share the incredible story of how a simple welding project turned into a thriving, multi-generational manufacturing business. From his early days in the oil fields and rural road building to managing over $200 million in infrastructure projects, including a $6 billion LNG plant, Mike's career spans the full arc of American blue-collar ingenuity. What began as a practical solution to a job-site challenge, designing a rock screen for a skid steer, eventually became Bear Ironworks, a Colorado-based fabrication company that now ships across the country and employs a team of dedicated craftspeople. Mike recounts how his son, then a college student, took the reins, built a website, and helped scale the business before returning to finish his degree. Together, they rebuilt the company during COVID, running it remotely across multiple states while staying grounded in family values and a shared belief in hard work. Along the way, Mike discusses how he has consistently inspired and trained young people, including his son and stepson, to pursue careers in the trades, often helping them launch their own businesses. Key takeaways from this episode include: The power of hands-on experience in launching successful entrepreneurial ventures Why blue-collar careers offer financial freedom, personal pride, and long-term opportunity The importance of teaching and mentoring the next generation, even if they eventually leave your company How to build a values-driven culture that balances safety, autonomy, and professional development Why leaders in the construction and manufacturing sectors must champion the trades as viable and noble career paths Mike's story is a timely reminder that building things with your hands can also build a legacy. Leadership, at its best, is about investing in people for the long haul.

Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers

“We have overprotected kids in the real world and underprotected them online.” Jonathan Haidt believes we have bubble-wrapped childhood: cut back on recess, banned kids from walking to school alone, and filled every spare moment with structured, adult-led activities. But at the same time, we gave kids 24/7 access to social media, smartphones, and one-to-one devices—with very little guidance or boundaries. And now, we're seeing the results. Rising anxiety. Fragmented attention. Lost confidence. Social disconnection. This quote about overprotecting in the real world and underprotecting onloine hit me hard, because it puts into words what so many teachers have felt for years but couldn't always articulate. If our kids seem less resilient, less focused, less ready to learn... maybe it's not them. Maybe it's the environment we've created. The good news? We can change that. We ARE changing it. More schools are rethinking tech. More parents are drawing tech boundaries. More teachers are advocating for what kids truly need. We can bring balance back. Today's guest is Jonathan Haidt—a social psychologist, professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, and author of several influential books, including most recently, The Anxious Generation. You may have seen Jonathan in recent interviews talking about how smartphones and social media are impacting kids' mental health. But I wanted to bring him on the show to go deeper—specifically from an educator's point of view. This conversation builds on some of the past episodes I've done around screen time, attention spans, and how tech is changing the way kids show up in the classroom. It's a true back-and-forth conversation where we learn from each other, and I think it's going to validate so much of what you've already sensed as a teacher.  Get the shareable article/transcript for this episode here. Later this summer, I'll share a different perspective from someone who sees personalized AI tutoring as the future of school, and I have to admit, I find that vision just as compelling as what Haidt has shared. Stay tuned!

✅ Why smartphones make us feel god-like (and why that's dangerous) ✅ The 4 research-backed rules for kids and technology ✅ How a church-wide digital fast transformed an entire community ✅ What a therapy dog named Bruce taught him about presence SUMMARY: Parenting teenagers in a digital world feels impossible—especially when you're struggling with your own phone addiction. In this episode, Darren Whitehead (dad of 4 teenage girls) shares how he led his entire church through a 40-day digital fast and discovered the secret to high-definition parenting. You'll hear why smartphones make us feel god-like, how to have the phone conversation with your kids, and what a Havanese dog named Bruce taught him about presence.

On this week's show our listeners have provided the topics. We discuss a $30 hack to improve your TV as well as a new OLED technology that may turn your screen into a multi channel speaker. Plus we read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: ‘Stranger Things' Season 5 Gets Three-Part Release, Series Finale Set for New Year's Eve 66% see YouTube as destination for long-form movies, TV shows Scorsese Doesn't Go To Cinemas Anymore $30 Dollar Hack to Improve Your TV One of our listeners, Scott, sent us a link to an article suggesting that a $30 LED strip can significantly enhance your TV viewing experience. The full article is titled I stuck this $30 LED strip on the back of my TV. My eyes thank me daily. We'll summarize here but check out the article for more detail.  The author of the PCWorld article shares his positive experience with a $30 USB-powered LED strip, initially inspired by the concept of bias lighting to reduce eye strain by counterbalancing a TV's bright display. After research, the budget-friendly strip proved easy to install, powered directly by the TV, and automatically synced with the device's on/off function. Installation was simple, involving a clean surface and careful placement of the adhesive-backed strip along the TV's rear edges, cut to fit for even light distribution. The soft, ambient glow reduced eye fatigue, enhanced contrast and color vibrancy, and made dark scenes in movies and games more enjoyable, proving a cost-effective alternative to pricier lighting systems, and a recommended upgrade for better comfort and visual quality. Turn Your OLED Screen Into a Multi Channel Speaker And another listener, Bob, sent us an article about a technology being developed that could lead to the world's first Pixel-Based Local Sound OLED (PLS-OLED) display. It would allow each pixel to emit different sounds simultaneously, effectively turning the display into a multichannel speaker array. This breakthrough was successfully demonstrated on a 13-inch OLED panel, similar to those used in laptops and tablets. The technology could potentially revolutionize applications in devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops and possibly televisions by combining visual and audio functions in a single, ultra-thin panel. The study was published in Advanced Science in 2025. This is our take on how this technology can be used to enhance a home theater system for some users: Integrated Audio-Visual Experience: Fewer Speakers: With PLS-OLED, the audio comes directly from the screen, eliminating the need for external speakers and creating a cleaner, more streamlined setup. Immersive Sound: Since each pixel can emit distinct sounds, the technology enables precise, localized audio output. This means sound can appear to come directly from the action on screen.  A character's voice would originate from their mouth or an explosion sounding like it's bursting from the exact spot on the display—enhancing the realism of the home theater experience. Multichannel Audio Without Additional Hardware: Surround Sound Simulation: The multichannel capability of PLS-OLED can mimic surround sound to some degree by directing different audio channels through various parts of the screen. However, we don't see this replacing a good 7.1 setup, rather it would enhance the audio.  Enhanced Aesthetics and Space Efficiency: Reduced Equipment: By integrating high-quality audio into the display, you eliminate the need for a separate audio receiver, subwoofers, and multiple speakers, saving space and reducing setup complexity.   Potential for Advanced Applications: Personalized Audio Zones: In a home theater shared by multiple viewers, the pixel-based sound could theoretically create localized audio zones, allowing different people to hear optimized sound based on their seating position, though this might require further development or additional hardware like head-tracking. Possibly delivering a more accurate 3D audio experience directly from the screen. Practical Considerations: Installation Ease: Unlike traditional systems that demand careful speaker placement and calibration, PLS-OLED simplifies setup—just mount the display and connect it to your media source. This is ideal for users who want a plug-and-play home theater solution. Limitations and Next Steps: Sound Power: The article doesn't specify the volume or frequency range of the audio output. Most of us want deep bass and loud, clear sound, so in reality you would still want a subwoofer for a fuller sound. Conclusion: The Pixel-Based Local Sound OLED technology could revolutionize simple home theaters by combining high-quality visuals and multichannel audio in one device, delivering a more immersive, space-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing experience. It's particularly promising for compact setups or users seeking simplicity without sacrificing sound quality.

In 1985, Neil Postman published Amusing Ourselves to Death. That means this year is the 40th birthday of this landmark book. And in that 40 years, Postman's troubling prophesies have mostly come true. Screens have reshaped our minds, our relationships, and our culture. Ivan Mesa and Brett McCracken say that “social media and smartphones have brought an appetite for distraction, an epidemic of loneliness, and increased rates of mental health challenges. Their new book, Scrolling Ourselves to Death, is a collection of essays by them and many others who have studied not only Neil Postman's book, but also the culture – examining both through a Christian worldview lens. Both Postman's original book, and this new book celebrating Postman, have much to offer Christians today, and I'm delighted to have both Brett and Ivan on the podcast. Brett McCracken is a senior editor for The Gospel Coalition and the author of many excellent books, including one of my recent favorites, The Wisdom Pyramid: Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World. Ivan Mesa ha a PhD from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and is the editorial director for The Gospel Coalition. He is the author of Before You Lose Your Faith: Deconstructing Doubt in the Church. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm your host Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

Clare explains the difference between passive and active screens, and how while one is worse than the other, neither can really be called "good" for children. She even goes so far as to argue that the proper amount of screen time for children is none at all! And while we know “CoComelon” is frying babies' brains, is it actually worse than we thought?
