Last episode we talked about what social media does to us. This time, we're talking about what it's doing to our kids. πŸ‘§πŸ“±

From the two-week detox update, to the very real damage being done to children's self-esteem, mental health, and ability to think for themselves – you better believe we have thoughts on social media.

How do you protect them when the platforms are designed to keep them hooked? When the rules keep changing? And when they'll find a way in regardless?

We're part of the generation that was handed this technology as a gift and promised it was going to change the world for the better. Now we're watching our kids grow up inside it, and we're seeing what it's doing to them.

A reckoning is coming, and it's not going to be pretty.
