Parenting has never been easy , but parenting in the age of AI, social media, and private digital spaces is something no generation has navigated before. And truthfully? It’s terrifying, for so many of us with kids entering the digital age. In this episode, Deena sits down with digital wellness expert and Ginkgo founder Lars to break through the fear and give us what we desperately need when it comes to smartphones, iPads, and technology: clarity, language, and actual tools.

This episode will:

• Help you connect your child’s screen habits to their emotional health
• Give you tangible tools so that you feel empowered in your approach to your child’s screen usage
• Help you prevent your biggest fears lurking on the internet by instilling *prevention* tools
• Find out how AI changes the risks — and the conversations — for kids

This episode will change how you think about technology, safety, and emotional health at home. Instead of feeling exasperated, you’ll feel empowered to set boundaries, know what tools to use to optimize your kid’s relationship with their screen, and breathe easy knowing you’ve got this.

Before kids, travel was a vibe. After kids? It’s CrossFit, hostage negotiation, and a team sport you didn’t train for. If you’re traveling with kids this holiday season — flying, driving, or doing both — this episode is your survival guide. We’re talking about why travel melts kids down hard, what’s actually happening in their brains at 29,000 feet, and the simple shifts that make the entire day go better (without needing a color-coded itinerary or superhuman patience).

You’ll walk away with:

• Why meltdowns hit harder when routines disappear

• How to prep kids so they’re more regulated before the chaos even starts

• What to do in the moment when everything goes sideways

• How to reset your expectations so the day feels like a win — not a failure

• And the permission to use screens, snacks, and survival tools without guilt

This episode isn’t about making travel smooth. It’s about getting there with your relationship intact. If you’ve ever whispered “never again” in an airport bathroom…If you’ve spent $52 on a stuffed animal you didn’t plan to buy…If you’ve boarded a plane already exhausted…You are not alone. And you are doing an incredible job. Pop this on before you leave for the airport — or while you’re hiding in the bathroom pretending to pee.

The holidays are supposed to be magical. They’re also loud, overstimulating, emotionally charged, and somehow happening every single day for a month straight. So this episode? This one’s for the parents who are hanging on by a thread of tinsel. In this Holiday Confessions special, Kristin and Tyler are dropping the filters and saying the quiet parts out loud — the hot takes, the opinions you’re not supposed to have, the moments you feel guilty for even thinking.

We laugh. A lot. We admit things we probably shouldn’t. And we give you full permission to stop trying to make December look like a commercial. Because your kids don’t need perfect holidays. They need you — the real you. The one who’s tired, trying, showing up, and doing their absolute best. This episode is your reminder that: Lowering the bar doesn’t ruin the magic. It’s usually where the magic actually lives.

Pour the coffee. Hide in the pantry. Pop in your earbuds. We’ve got you 🤍
