After 8 years of podcasting, it is time for a show aimed at teens (this is from the ages of 11 right through your twenties!)

Every teen leaving a session declares - "she just gets me"
Be warned - parents are welcome to this podcast but the teen is always right!

The most destructive habit that holds us back and that we can land ourselves in at any stage of our development.. no one is immune ... even me! -
How we use smartphones determines our mental well-being
Forget blanket statements on technology being 'bad' for us ... it's how we use the tool for our well-being which determines our mental health. We can't assume that if you have a smartphone you have anxiety, depression and concentration challenges.
Use pick-up data, notifications settings, scheduled downtime and nighttime mode to change your habits.
Change your practices for good well-being, engagement and a learning tool - and then change your parents! -
