Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood

In today's guest episode, Erin Washington shares insights on the impact of social media on our kids and practical ways parents can foster confidence and healthy habits in their kids. She may be sharing mostly about how we can foster confidence in our kids, but her tips really hit me as someone who has struggled with body image most of my life.

Her new children's book is called "I'm Just Like Me," and is a great tool to help us build confidence in our kids through reading together.

Today I am bringing you a guest episode featuring Emily Feldpausch, a parent of three, educator, and author of The Unfollow Effect: Intentional Living in a Digital Age.

After a personal experiment with social media revealed just how much technology was shaping her daily life, she became passionate about helping others cultivate healthier, more intentional digital habits. Emily encourages people to protect what matters most—their peace, presence, and relationships—while using technology in ways that align with their values.

Today she shares insights on how we can build boundaries for screen time and model better habits and boundaries as parents. Her tips come at a perfect time for any parent wanting to prioritize presence and intentionality around screen time and technology this summer.
