Let’s start with the truth: Screens are a part of modern parenting.
And if you’ve ever handed your kid a tablet just to get a moment of peace, you’re not alone—and you’re not wrong.
But what happens when screens aren’t the exception… they’re the default?
In our newest Unreachable podcast episode, we explore what our kids—and we—might be missing when a screen is always there. And more importantly: what to give them instead.
Today, we talk about the power of presence over perfection, how boredom builds better brains, and how to create small, sacred “Unreachable Windows” that don’t just reduce screen time… they restore connection.
(And be sure to listen to the end as Alex leads you through a very special family breathwork protocol to do together!)
What we cover in Unplugged Parenting:
Why removing tech isn’t punishment—it’s making space for magic
What kids actually need (and it’s not constant entertainment)
Screen-free swaps that are messy, meaningful, and totally doable
What we’ve tried with our own daughter—and what really worked
How your nervous system (and theirs) changes without constant input
