Listen to a talk by Catherine Price, founder of Screen/Life Balance and author of How to Break Up With Your Phone, about kids, smartphones, and social media. In addition to running through some of the risks and threats, Catherine provides several new frameworks for how to make decisions about children and technology, and provides actionable, evidence-backed resources, a sample community pledge -- and a plan.
Warning: this talk contains several obscenities and the discussion of subjects that some listeners may find disturbing, including suicide, sextortion and pornography.

Today Iâm pleased to bring you a new episode of the âHow to Feel Aliveâ podcast: a conversation between me and Devin McNulty, who writes the Substack newsletter and is Funmentum Labsâ co-founder and âbrain-tender-in-chief.â
In todayâs episode, we tackled challenges from three readers:
-Someone who works at a nonprofit and is struggling getting her employees and co-workers to meet deadlines (which touches on the broader question: how do you motivate people without nagging them?)
-Someone who is a stay-at-home mom with multiple kids (and a very challenging collection of family dietary preferences), who is trying to figure out if there is any way to possibly make cooking feel more fun (how can you make your own daily drudgery feel more tolerable?)
-Someone who used to have a boss who talked about the importance of fun at work â but in fact made work the opposite of fun
As a reminder, all members of the Fun Squad (my term for my paid subscribers) are welcome to ask us questions in this forum, and we will do our best to personally answer them in a future episode.

Devin McNulty is the self-described âhead of braintendingâ at a consulting organization called Funmentum Labs. By tapping into the powers of fun and play, Devin has helped companies like ESPN, Google, Credit Karma, Logitech and Ubisoft unlock group creativity and create environments where people look forward to brainstorming and solving problems together.
Those of you who have been with me for a while may remember that Devin and I teamed up last year to run a series of live workshops around the theme of fun at work.
This year, Devin and I are experimentingâone might even say playingâwith a different approach. Instead of live workshops, weâre inviting members of the Fun Squad (paid subscribers) to share issues, challenges, or projects that theyâre struggling with at work that they would like Devinâs help in solving. These could be specific challenges (for example, you might be tasked with organizing a work retreat and want ideas for how to make it more enjoyable and effective) or they might be more general challenges, such as how to create culture and community when everyone is working remotely.
Each month, Devin and I will choose one of these challenges, and then will have a conversation (occasionally with the person who requested help, if theyâre up for it) about ways to possibly address or solve it. Weâll then share the resulting ideas and conversation with the entire community. In other words, youâll be able to benefit from Devinâs insights even if youâre not part of the Fun Squadâthough I hope youâll consider joining us.

"Drawing for me is like a meditation and a joy. It's a time for myself. It centers me. If I prioritize it, everything else falls into line." âWendy MacNaughton
I recently had the pleasure of speaking with artist Wendy MacNaughton about her artistic practice and her 30-Day "Drawing Habit" challenge that she offered to her substack community. If you enjoy our conversation, please sign up for our substacks!
