Screen Time Isn’t the Problem—Your Attention Is (And Your Kids Know It) with Catherine Price | 414
Let’s cut the crap: this isn’t just about screen time. It’s about attention—yours, your kids’, and who (or what) is stealing it.
In this brutally honest (and slightly uncomfortable) conversation, Nicole sits down with Catherine Price—award-winning journalist, author of How to Break Up with Your Phone, and co-author of The Amazing Generation—to unpack what screens are actually doing to our brains, our kids, and our relationships.
We’re talking about:
-
Why “screen time” is the wrong conversation—and what you should be focusing on instead
-
How constant scrolling is literally rewiring attention spans (for you and your kids)
-
The real cost of distraction: missed memories, weaker relationships, and a life half-lived
-
Why your kids don’t need another app—they need your actual presence
-
The difference between useful tech and attention-sucking garbage
-
How to delay smartphones and social media without turning your house into a war zone
-
What kids really notice about your phone habits (hint: everything)
-
Practical ways to reset boundaries—even if you feel like you’ve already screwed it up
This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness, intention, and making better choices—starting now.
Because every time you pick up your phone, you’re choosing what (and who) gets your attention.
