Summary

If you follow me on social media you know this episode topic was inevitable. I have been talking about the harms of social media so much lately and Tessa Stuckey was a great addition to this conversation. As a therapist to teenagers, she provides insightful research that proves screen time and social media do more harm than good to mental health and brain development. Some of the information she provided was truly shocking and I hope some of you will join me in living a life with less screens. Tessa is a mom of four, therapist, parent coach, author and speaker. She is passionate about our youth mental health, suicide prevention and navigating parenting in today's tech-filled world. Tessa also hosts a podcast titled, For the Sake of Our Youth, where she talks about these topics biweekly.
