Heart Talk with Laura Lawrence: Re-thinking Digital Communication

Podcast with Laura Lawrence and guest Tara Stewart: Listen here.

*Excerpt from https://lauralawrence.ca/...

As a mother, Tara deeply understands the challenges parents face today when it comes to the decision about when to give your child a smartphone.

As she witnessed her children struggle to manage their digital habits, excessive screen time, and the troubling impact it had on their mental and social well-being an idea was born out of that frustration and a desire for change.

Passionate about empowering parents and safeguarding families by creating technology that doesn’t addict, surveil, mislead, or demand, her first product, BE.connect, is a healthy smartphone alternative and the start of a line of tools designed to support humanity, not exploit it.

In this episode, Tara challenges us to rethink how we spend our time, how we communicate, and what it means to raise kids in a tech-driven world.
