Anti-Social Media (Crystal and Michelle)

In this bonus episode, Crystal teams up with her best friend Michelle to tackle a topic of what social media is really doing to us, and especially to kids. They discuss the alarming amount of time we're glued to our screens, how it's messing with kids' ability to self-regulate and connect face-to-face, and how parents' scrolling habits are part of the problem too.
