About this listen
Screens are everywhere — and if you’ve ever felt like you’re losing the screen-time battle at home, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really happening in your teen’s brain, why phone use is so addictive, and the five hidden ways it affects their confidence, sleep, motivation, and mental health.
We’ll talk about how to move from control to collaboration, model healthy habits ourselves, and create boundaries that build connection instead of conflict.
💡 Highlights
- The neuroscience behind screen addiction and dopamine hits
- How social media fuels comparison and low self-esteem
- The “tired but wired” sleep cycle
- Why connection—not control—creates real change
- Simple steps to co-create screen boundaries that actually work
