Breaking the Algorithm: Reclaiming Parenting Power in a Digital World

In this empowering episode of Mamahood After Trauma, host Emily Cleghorn welcomes physician and digital wellbeing researcher Dr. Sanjita Setia for a vital conversation about navigating technology as trauma-surviving mothers. Dr. Setia reframes children's technology struggles not as "addiction" but as manipulation by intentionally designed platforms — relieving parents of unnecessary guilt. She offers practical strategies, including "phone parking" at night, family device sunsets, and prioritizing quality over quantity of screen time. Most powerfully, she encourages open, vulnerable communication with children about technology's influence, fostering critical thinking and deeper family connection. A truly transformative episode for modern mamas healing and parenting with intention.
