Introducing Season 7: Making Plans and Taking Action // Hillary Wilkinson, M.Ed.

April 12, 2023

Hosted by Hillary Wilkinson

“In Season 7, I’m talking to people who put their plans into action!”

- Hillary Wilkinson

Spring forward for a fresh start with Season 7 and digital wellness!


Sometimes a fresh start can look like revisiting some old practices; other times it can look like trying something new. This season, I will be exploring both of these practices and talking with people who put their plans into action, have developed tools and systems, and have even helped design legislation to get digital wellness and healthy screen habits into classrooms and homes.


Plus, learn about Screen Free Week 2023 with Jen Kane!


Show Transcript Excerpt

Screen-Free Week isn’t about what you give up. It’s about what you get! An hour dedicated to watching YouTube becomes an hour spent outside; ten minutes scrolled away on social media turn into ten minutes spent doodling - activating creative centers in your brain. 


You get to set the goals for your own screen-free week - maybe it’s 2 nights of screen-free family dinner or establishing the car as a “no-phone zone” to and from school.  It’s your choice! 


Even better, it's your opportunity to try out something new! 


Season 7 episodes drop Wednesdays on any of the podcasting platforms.

About the podcast host, Hillary Wilkinson


Hillary found the need to take a big look at technology when her children began asking for their own devices. Quickly overwhelmed, she found that the hard and fast rules in other areas of life became difficult to uphold in the digital world. As a teacher and a mom of 2 teens, Hillary believes the key to healthy screen habits lies in empowering our kids through education and awareness. 


Parenting is hard. Technology can make it tricky. Hillary uses this podcast to help bring these areas together to help all families create healthy screen habits.
