The Heat is On is a new investigative series by Scrolling 2 Death, in partnership with Heat Initiative. Co-hosts Sarah Gardner, Founder and CEO of Heat Initiative, and Nicki Petrossi, Host of Scrolling 2 Death, are exposing the truth Big Tech doesn't want you to hear – and this episode is all about Apple.Apple revolutionized personal computing and their products didn't just change technology — they changed childhood: putting powerful, addictive devices directly in kids' hands. 88% of teens now own an iPhone. Apple has convinced us that parental controls keep iPhones and iPads “safe”, but that is an illusion. In this episode, Sarah and Nicki dig into the core apps and platforms available to children through Apple devices: iMessage, Screen Time, The App Store, and iCloud.Disclaimer: This episode includes discussion of child sexual abuse and online child exploitation. If you or someone you know is a victim of exploitation, contact the CyberTipline at NCMEC: report.cybertip.org.

What happens when our kids spend nine hours a day on screens? Dr Justin Coulson sits down with world-leading researcher Professor Jean Twenge (author of Ten Rules for Raising Kids in a High Tech World) to unpack the hidden costs of our always-online culture — and how parents can reclaim calm, connection and control. From brain changes to “go touch grass” moments, Jean shares the science behind tech overload and practical rules that actually work. KEY POINTS: Why social media under 16 is a terrible idea — and why government regulation matters The shocking truth about teens’ 9-hour daily screen time How smartphones reshape childhood: less sleep, less play, less joy The “basic phone” revolution — why dumb phones might just save your child’s brain How to set firm rules (without becoming the enemy) Real-world freedom: why outdoor play is safer than scrolling The single biggest rule every parent should enforce tonight QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “In ten years we’ll look back at giving kids smartphones at age eleven and think — what were we thinking?” — Professor Jean Twenge RESOURCES MENTIONED: Ten Rules for Raising Kids in a High Tech World — Professor Jean Twenge Heads Up Alliance (Australia) Beginner Phones for Tweens & Teens [Free PDF from Rebecca Sparrow] Wait Until 8th Movement The Light Phone Unplugged Parenthood ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: No phones in bedrooms. Ever. Delay social media until at least 16 — ideally later. Swap smartphones for basic phones to keep kids connected, not consumed. Model healthy tech habits — your kids are watching.

Hey Lovelies,Whew… this one's a little personal
Send us a textYou already know what to do:Eat better.Move more.Sleep earlier.So why do you keep finding yourself in the kitchen at 9pm, glass of wine in hand, scrolling your phone and promising tomorrow will be different?This episode dives deep into the truth most diets, trainers, and wellness influencers never address:You're not lazy. You're not broken.You're avoiding.In this powerful episode of Never Diet Again, Max pulls back the curtain on the real reason you feel stuck, emotional avoidance disguised as bad habits.You'll discover:✅Why overeating, scrolling, drinking, and shopping aren't your problems—they're your coping strategies✅How guilt, shame, stress and loneliness create a cycle you can't break with willpower✅Why trying to “control” your habits only makes it worse✅The 3-level framework to break free—without needing more disciplineIf you've ever said:“I know what to do, I just don't do it.”“I fall apart at night.”“I've tried everything and nothing works...” This episode is for you.It's not about being perfect.

Ever spend half your studio time staring at a painting, mentally ripping it apart, but never actually picking up the brush? Or maybe you're scrolling Instagram right now instead of being in your studio. (I see you.) You're not broken. You're just stuck in a pattern. And once you can name it, it loses its power.In this episode, I'm walking through nine specific, observable behaviors that show up when artists are working through self-doubt. Not vague struggles. Actual patterns you can recognize in yourself.Because here's the thing: when you go from "What's wrong with me?" to "Oh, I'm doing that serial abandoner thing again," everything shifts. It's not a personality flaw. It's just a pattern. And patterns can change.In This Episode:[3:09] The Serial Abandoner — Starting painting after painting, always convinced the next one will be different[5:00] The Mental Critic — Spending half your studio time cataloging what's wrong instead of actually painting[7:53] The Comparison Scroller — More time on Instagram than at the easel, using other artists' work as proof you're not good enough[10:00] The Permission Seeker — Asking everyone's opinion before trusting your own eye[14:09] The Hiding Perfectionist — Making work, then stacking it facing the wall, waiting until it's "good enough"[15:34] The Apologizer — Can't show work without immediately explaining everything that's wrong with it first[17:03] The Workshop Collector — Taking class after class, convinced you need one more technique before you're ready[23:54] The Overthinking Planner — Hours planning the perfect painting in your mind, but never committing to canvas[25:34] The Corner Repainter — Repainting the same spot seventeen times while ignoring the rest of the paintingIf you recognize yourself in one or more of these? You're in good company. This is what shows up for skilled artists working through doubt. The episode walks through what's actually happening underneath each pattern and what to practice instead.Want to work with me?

Jess wants to know if she is in the wrong for making Garage Boy turn off his movie...
The digital revolution has radically shifted how we consume information. Reading lengthy think pieces and books has given way to limitless hours of doom scrolling and streaming. The widespread access to content enabled by internet access has many upsides, but are we really wired for our new tech-saturated environment? Let's take a closer look.
Paul Virzi jokes about his wife scrolling through his phone in his Netflix special, "Nocturnal Admissions".
If you ever feel like there’s never enough time — this episode is your deep breath. Justin and Kylie unpack the idea of “time abundance” — how to slow life down when the to-do list never ends. From the psychology of feeling rushed to practical ways to reclaim calm, this is your permission slip to stop racing and start living with more space, energy, and joy. KEY POINTS Most of us undervalue our time — we tick off easy tasks instead of what truly matters. Protecting your time doesn’t mean saying no to family; it means saying yes intentionally. Feeling time-rich comes from being mindful in the moment, not just managing the clock. Giving your time to others actually makes you feel like you have more time. Buy yourself back time when you can — small choices (like grocery delivery or help with chores) reduce pressure and create calm. Scrolling isn’t rest. True breaks come from presence, connection, and purpose. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “You don’t build a relationship watching the clock.” — Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED Jackie Nesi’s Techno Sapiens Substack: Article on Time Abundance Happy Families Membership — for more ways to live lighter and connect deeper ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Block time out for what matters most — and guard it fiercely. Be mindful in your moments of rest; let your brain actually stop. Give time to others — kindness expands your sense of time. Buy back time where possible; trade dollars for breathing space. Ditch the doom scroll. Choose real rest over digital distraction. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are our phones rewiring our brains? Americans now spend more than four hours a day on their phones — and check them hundreds of times without even realizing it. So why is it so hard to stop scrolling, and what is all that screen time actually doing to our brains, our bodies, and our relationships? Neuroscientist Dr. Julie Fratantoni explains the science behind smartphone addiction — and how we can reverse the damage. Then, psychotherapist and author Shannon Algeo shares practical strategies from his “digital liberation” retreats — including one simple step you can try today that could make a big difference.

It's not too late to reset the screen-time limits and boundaries you've set for your kids—and the reasons to take action are becoming increasingly clear.In this episode, Dr. Carrie Mackensen joins host Nicki Petrossi to unpack the science behind interactive screens and short-form media and how they impact children's brain development. Her clear, accessible approach helps parents understand what's happening neurologically and how to make informed choices.Our brains operate using two key systems: the emotional center, which rewards us with dopamine when something feels good, and the thinking brain, where we analyze, reflect, and make decisions. Activities like riding a bike or climbing a tree provide healthy dopamine boosts through effort and engagement. But scrolling social media or watching endless YouTube Shorts floods kids' brains with 100 to 200 times the dopamine—without any effort—bypassing the thinking brain entirely. Over time, this leads to an underdeveloped thinking brain and an overstimulated emotional center.The result? Kids who are increasingly anxious, withdrawn, emotionally dysregulated, and lack critical thinking skills. The good news: It's not too late to make a change. Thanks to the brain's neuroplasticity, you can help rewire these patterns and restore balance at home. Dr. Mackensen, a clinical psychologist, parent coach, and mom of two boys, shares her proven approach in conversation with Nicki from Scrolling 2 Death. Together, they offer practical tools and clear screen-time guidelines to help families create healthier digital boundaries.This is an episode every parent needs to hear.Dr. Carrie Mackensen is a clinical psychologist turned parent coach, author, and founder of Successful Parent. With a PhD in Individual, Family, and Child Psychology and experience as an attending psychologist at Cedars-Sinai and later as Clinical Director of a high-end residential addiction treatment program in Beverly Hills, she now helps families navigate the challenges of raising kids in a digital world. Drawing on both her clinical expertise and her own journey as a mom of two boys, Dr. Carrie blends neuroscience, attachment theory, and practical tools to empower parents to set healthy tech boundaries and strengthen family connection.

You're surrounded by illusions that feel good now but rob you later, p*** as the illusion of intimacy, video games as the illusion of achievement, processed food as the illusion of nourishment, dating apps as the illusion of choice, doom-scrolling as the illusion of connection, weed as the illusion of peace, alcohol as the illusion of confidence, and gambling as the illusion of success. In this episode, I not only name these traps and reveal how they pacify your drive and blur your path to fulfillment. I'll also show you what to do about them, how to recognize them for what they are, and how to take back control when they show up in your life. I'm not speaking from a pedestal. I spent a decade dependent on Adderall, fell into compulsive online habits, and learned the hard way that comfort isn't the cure. I share my story and the science that helped me rebuild, how turning toward pain, not away from it, forged discipline, resilience, and a more meaningful life.You'll leave with a simple lens: when a craving hits, ask, “What deep, meaningful work am I avoiding right now?” Then we use that signal to take one honest step today. If you're ready to trade sedation for purpose and choose the difficult thing on purpose, press play.Support the show
