In our very first episode, we're tackling a question every modern parent grapples with: Is that smartphone in your hand a helpful parenting tool, or is it a trap that fuels anxiety and self-doubt?

Join Dr Claudia Gray and Christy Herselman as they explore the five ways our digital devices are quietly reshaping parenthood. From the overwhelm of information overload to the danger of the comparison trap, they unpack how Dr Google and perfectly curated social media feeds can actually leave us feeling more lost and alone.

Together, they introduce their four S's for spotting sensationalism and discuss what happens when we let our phones become what they call an "intuition obliterator." Most importantly, they remind us why swapping ChatGPT for the authentic GPT—grandparents, parents, and teachers—might just be the connection we're truly craving.

Tune in for a sincere conversation about keeping your village close and your parenting intuition closer in a digital world.
