    Feeling into how tech makes us an anxious generation of parents

    Let’s face it, we are an anxious generation of parents. We’ve been living in relationship with smartphones for 17+ years. We’re actively raising digitally native kids and we often forget… We are models of healthy tech use. We have our fair share of habits to always improve upon. We need to be deliberately slow with the important decisions we make regarding tech. Get full access to adam yasmin at adamyasmin.substack.com/subscribe

    .. and now a word from our tea sponsor, White2Tea

    Hi friends — Does your podcast have a tea sponsor? Slow Tech is now proudly sponsored by White2Tea! What does this mean? Simply put, it means that future in-person interviews will be brewing & imbibing W2T. Also! Future subscriber-only IRL tea meetups will be made possible thanks to the teas donated by W2T. This does not mean that we will have referral or affiliate codes for you to purchase teas with. Why? Because the pricing structure at W2T is already outstanding and why not just share the love?! (btw I brewed some 2022 Snoozefest raw puer before recording this episode) Please enjoy this short and fun interview I had with founder Paul Murray where I got to read his responses since W2T has a strict no audio/video policy… as he put it, “we love a little mystery”.
