Hi Reader,

​

Just a quick reminder — my Parenting Through the Maze Open House is happening tonight at 6:00 pm CST! 🎉

I’ll be live for about 30 minutes to give you a personal tour of the membership, show you what’s inside, and answer any questions you might have.

This is a relaxed, friendly time to explore how Parenting Through the Maze can support your family — and you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the tools, community, and resources created to help parents navigate anxiety with more calm and confidence.

​

I can’t wait to see you there and show you around!

Have you ever looked at your teen scrolling on their phone and thought, “I’ve completely lost control of this?”

You’re not alone. Many parents feel unsure about how to set limits without constant conflict — or how to balance freedom with responsibility when it comes to social media and screen time.

In this week’s episode of Better Regulate Than Never, I’m talking about how to:
✅ Create a healthy family plan for screen and social media use
✅ Keep open, judgment-free communication with your teen
✅ Model balanced digital habits yourself
✅ Talk about online news and media bias together

This isn’t about controlling your teen — it’s about guiding them to use technology in ways that support their growth, connection, and wellbeing.
