Creating Digital Boundaries When Offline Isn't an Option | Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr (EP417)

We’re all using — and parenting around — a technology we didn’t grow up with, so it makes sense that we feel overwhelmed. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr, researcher, professor, and author of Smartphone Nation, to talk about how we can move from feeling powerless to empowered in our digital lives. Dr. Regehr introduces her groundbreaking concept of “digital nutrition,” a framework that helps us understand which types of screen time nourish us — and which quietly drain our energy, focus, and joy. Together, we explore how to set thoughtful tech boundaries, guide our kids toward healthy digital habits, and reclaim presence and peace in a hyperconnected world.
